North Lane, West Hoathly RH19

A charming Grade II Listed period home dating from the mid-seventeenth century, situated in the heart of the sought-after West Sussex village of West Hoathly. Offering an abundance of original character, flexible accommodation over three floors, attractive gardens and a large detached garage.

This much-loved historic home retains a wealth of period features including exposed timbers and beams, stone inglenook fireplaces and leaded light windows. The versatile accommodation is arranged over three floors, with staircases at either end of the property, offering the potential to create a separate guest or teenager's suite with its own entrance.

The ground floor provides 3 reception rooms, including a superb dining room and adjoining sitting room, both centred around beautiful stone inglenook fireplaces. There is a 29ft fitted kitchen with an electric Aga, overlooking the garden. Rear porch, downstairs WC/utility room and a spacious conservatory provides an additional reception space with doors opening onto the rear garden.

The top floor provides two further good-sized rooms, currently used as bedrooms/office/playroom, along with useful loft space.

Outside, the property has a broad, well-planted front garden and a good-sized westerly rear garden offering a high degree of seclusion. The rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn with mature shrubs including buddleia, camellia and roses, together with young fruit trees.

A shared driveway alongside the house leads to a large detached garage with light and power and access to the garden. The garden area adjacent to the garage could potentially be converted to provide additional parking, subject to the necessary consents.

The property is ideally positioned within the village, close to the period village inn, parish church and opposite the primary school, whilst enjoying the character and charm associated with this highly regarded West Sussex location.
