Twisted Cottage is a charming, detached country house offering very good potential for further adaptation and extension (subject to necessary consents). It has the potential to become an impressive family house occupying a desirable rural location, East of the small rural village of Maplehurst, and within convenient reach of the popular market town of Horsham. The house affords bright and airy accommodation spread over two floors with upvc double glazed windows throughout and lovely rural outlook to all sides and in particular to the South over the property's South facing garden and post and rail fenced paddocks.

A particular feature is the South facing main outlook with many of the rooms also being double aspect and also with French doors leading out to the garden and with open plan kitchen/dining room including oil-fired Aga. There is a useful utility room and ground floor bath/shower room behind and linking to the double garage which also offers further potential for adaptation or conversion subject to all necessary consents. The very good size and double aspect living room includes a fireplace and there is a further fireplace to the dining room with wood burning stove. The ground floor is completed by a useful study with broadband connection.

To the first floor, the principal bedroom is double aspect with lovely outlook and to the rear is bedroom four which offers good scope as a potential en-suite/dressing room area. From the internal landing with extensive fitted cupboard space and access to a large eaves area, doors lead to two South facing double bedrooms, a fifth East facing single bedroom and a large family bathroom with separate shower.

Outside, a great feature of the property is the rural location with a good feeling of space with post and rail fencing and gated driveway with parking for a number of vehicles and scope for further or alternative garaging (subject to necessary consents) with small home paddock or poultry/dog run run area adjoining. Gates then lead to the South facing principal garden area planted with an abundance of colourful mature climbers and specimen shrubs and herbaceous plants and including covered veranda outdoor eating area to one side of the terrace at the rear of the house.

A gate opens into the main paddock to the South, a traditional pasture enclosure bordered with mature oak trees and with separate gated entrance onto the lane and providing a perfect area of quiet contemplation or for mixed livestock or small holding interests. The property as a whole extends to approximately 1.11 acres.

Public footpaths with lovely country walks are readily accessible from the property and with riding on the local lanes thence linking to public bridleways.
