West End Lane, Henfield

Old Barn House is a fabulous, detached family home believed to originally date from the first half of the last century and situated in a very good semi-rural location within 1.5 miles of Henfield village centre. The property has been extensively improved and extended over recent decades and with external elevations of mellow clay tile hanging and roof tiling, modern double-glazed windows and French doors to offer a great feeling of light and airiness throughout. The beautifully presented accommodation includes principally South facing rooms and with the majority overlooking the wonderful garden and grounds extending overall to 1.7 acres.

From the welcoming reception hall, the accommodation opens up to a variety of reception rooms and to the triple aspect kitchen/dining room being at the heart of the house with crisp modern fitted units with integrated appliances and breakfast bar and with Amtico flooring and underfloor heating and French doors overlooking and leading out to the terrace and garden. Radiating from this is the double aspect sitting room with wood burning stove, family room or large office and inner hall with fitted storage space and thence to a large living room facing South and East with fireplace with woodburning stove, comprehensive fitted wall display shelves, cupboards and large television mounting point with electric flame-effect screen below, doors to the terrace and with fine outlook over the garden. The ground floor is completed by a useful utility/rear hall area with door to the outside, boiler room, storeroom and cloakroom off.

To the first floor, the principal bedroom suite is a great feature offering a very generous triple aspect main bedroom with balcony and range of fitted wardrobes and separate dressing room with further range of extensive fitted cupboards or providing scope to revert to a fifth bedroom and with adjacent luxury modern bath/shower room. The first floor is completed by three further double bedrooms, two of which include fitted wardrobes and with bedroom two including a Juliet balcony and with a smart modern family bathroom.

Outside, the property is approached by a gravelled entrance drive with parking and turning adjacent to the 3-bay open garaging and with additional gated access to the rear grounds via a side drive. On the Western edge of the garden with Astroturf recreational area is a superb modern detached gym building or recreational room offering excellent adaptable space with bi-fold doors to the front and scope for a variety of ancillary uses.

At the rear of the house, several doors open onto the charming South facing terrace with feature fishpond to one side and path to the detached studio/office outbuilding. This includes a shower/cloakroom to one corner and a kitchenette to offer great guest accommodation potential. Paths and openings lead to the main garden with an expanse of lawn to the East and pond area to one corner with summerhouse to one side. A gate between a further arbour and planting leads into the less formal orchard area with further extensive lawns and an ideal children's play area and with garden store to one end.
