Trout Lane, Itchingfield

Situated on the edge of the popular village of Barns Green is this charming, detached home offering an exceptional opportunity to create a truly special country residence. Occupying a delightful plot of approximately 0.38 acres, the property has changed ownership once in the last eighty years, a testament to its enduring appeal and idyllic setting. The property has a wealth of character and whilst a charming and spacious three bedroom home at present, should be considered suitable for enlarging, subject to planning consent. An entrance porch leads through to a living room/study that is divided by a central fireplace. There is a good sized dining room with conservatory off. To the rear is a kitchen which leads to a lobby and downstairs w.c./shower. The first floor landing gives access to three bedrooms and a family bathroom. The main bedroom is a very good size and has two large picture windows. To the outside a gravelled drive widens towards the detached garage and the mature gardens have been lovingly cultivated over many decades, creating a peaceful haven with established planting, expansive lawns and inviting seating areas. A covered terrace provides the perfect setting for al fresco dining and year round enjoyment of the gardens.
Barns green includes an attractive village green, local store and primary school and The Queens Head public house. Surrounding countryside is very close at hand providing rural walks along numerous footpaths. The larger village of Billingshurst is about 4 miles to the west and the town of Horsham is about 4 miles to the northeast. There is a mainline train station at Christs Hospital which is about 2 miles away.
