An attractive property with period charm, in a semi-rural location with flexible accommodation and a sizeable garden of roughly 1.25 acres. At the front is a double car barn with electric doors and with boarded loft room above and ample parking. Internally, the property is light and bright and includes a generous bedroom with en-suite shower, spacious study and utility on the ground floor. An appealing, Victorian double fronted detached, country home with heaps of period charm, in a tranquil location with a flexible layout and sizeable garden of over an acre. At the front of the property is a double car barn with electric doors with boarded loft room above and lockable store at the side, and also an open log store, as well as ample off-street parking on a wide, block-paved, L-shaped driveway. The front door is centrally placed and covered by a pretty porch which opens into an entrance foyer lobby, with a reception room on either side and a staircase leading up to the first floor. Once inside, it is immediately apparent how light and bright the property is; the ground floor kitchen looks out over the courtyard to the garden beyond with the dining room leading off it, and is open, via a step up, to a delightful, triple-aspect sitting room which stretches front-to-back across the full depth of one end of the house, meaning the space is flooded with natural daylight. The sitting room and large study, which could also be used as an additional reception room, both open onto a charming, paved courtyard, which leads directly into the garden beyond, via a short set of shallow steps. The study has a fabulous, vaulted ceiling and feels wonderfully warm and welcoming thanks to a wood-burning stove and exposed timber beams. The ground floor also houses a spacious, annexe-style, en-suite bedroom, ideal for an elderly relative or as a home-working space. It can be accessed separately via a wheelchair ramp at the side of the house leading up to a back door with hallway beyond, which in turn opens into the generously proportioned utility and boot room, which has a further shower-room off it. Upstairs are four delightful bedrooms; two large doubles and two smaller rooms, all with high ceilings and period detailing, with the bedrooms at the rear having superb views of the garden and across to the tree-lined borders beyond. There is also a further, well-proportioned family bathroom. Outside The garden is wonderfully secluded and extends to approximately 1.25 acres, with lawned area, 5 bar gate to paddock with Stables and second five bar gate to further paddock and encircled by a border of mature trees and shrubs. It leads directly off the back of the house, making it a real family garden, with plenty of space for kids to run around, as well as having quiet areas in which to relax and enjoy the verdant outlook. The rear part of the garden contains a wooden stable block with two stables, a tack room and an open barn. Situation The property is situated just outside the popular and thriving village of Rusper, with its well-known gastro-pubs, respected primary school, community owned village store, church, and community village hall.
