Fryland Lane, Wineham

Marcus Grimes are pleased to present to the market this impressive Victorian Gothic style house standing in about a quarter of an acre of garden, situated along a peaceful country lane. Built just over a century ago the property has been thoughtfully extended to create family friendly accommodation that has been completely modernised.The internal feel, is one of ‘contemporary meets traditional’ with a number of period features retained including fireplaces, high ceilings and small bar windows. The house is approached through double electric gates from the lane into a wide gravelled parking and turning area. The front door opens into an entrance lobby beyond which a spacious reception hall provides options, perhaps as a study or family area with a recessed fireplace. The main living room is double aspect, and this too enjoys an open fireplace. The kitchen family room is a vast space in which to cook, chat, and relax with a wonderful centre island and views across the gardens on three sides. This extraordinary room is open to a conservatory/secondary dining area with further vistas and access to the grounds. A downstairs cloakroom and boot room complete the ground floor accommodation.Stairs from the hall lead to an upstairs of four double bedrooms and two bathrooms. The master bedroom is over 22 ft long with its own walk in dressing room. A further staircase leads to a spacious second bathroom in the former loft. A second attic area has been converted into liveable space that has a hatch opening for access. The property is heated by an oil fired Rayburn which doubles as a range cooker. There is an additional electric eye level oven, separate steam oven with adjacent electric hob, space for an American style fridge freezer, fitted dishwasher, wine fridge and microwave oven. The kitchen work tops are all finished in a stylish stone effect with handmade kitchen cabinets to floors and walls.Outside the gardens are on three side of the house and predominantly face south and west. The area extends to about a quarter of an acre and is laid to maintained lawns interspersed by tall trees. There is a second gate entrance off the lane for larger pieces of equipment to have access. Ample space exists for garaging subject to consent alongside the two sizeable sheds. The grounds are completely secluded and bounded by a mix of mature hedging and fencing.

LOCATIONSet in a peaceful corner of this little no through lane, the house falls into the parish of Wineham, a ribbon development of country houses and cottages perhaps most famous for its ancient pub restaurant The Royal Oak. The High Street conurbation of Henfield is about 5 miles away with a busy shopping thoroughfare including a Sainsburys, two pubs, cafes, specialist retailers as well as a leisure centre, primary school, historic church, medical centre and various sporting clubs including cricket, tennis and football. The larger town of Horsham is the county headquarters with a greater array of shopping and a railway station which lies about 20 minutes drive to the north west. Marginally nearer is Haywards Heath railway station with mainline services into London Bridge/Victoria from about 45 mins. The A23 London to Brighton dual carriageway is 6 miles to the east connecting with Gatwick international airport and the M25. The local countryside is literally on the door step with interesting and far-reaching public footpaths giving access to the beauty of this stunning rural location.
