4 Bedroom Detached House

REF RM1298

Occupying a prime corner plot within Chestnut Drive, this home effortlessly combines modern comfort with semi-rural living. Set within 15 acres of picturesque countryside, the setting is both spacious and scenic, conveniently positioned between Horsham and Worthing. The addition of a cricket green, pond, allotments and a village store alongside these attractive modern homes has fostered a genuine sense of community. There is also the village hall which provides a huge variety of classes and clubs for all ages. 

Built by Oakford Homes in 2019, the property is immaculately presented and still benefits from its 10-year builder’s warranty. The front door opens into a welcoming entrance hall with two practical storage cupboards and a WC. The layout flows seamlessly into the heart of the home

The sitting room is equally inviting. Like the kitchen/dining room, it benefits from floor-to-ceiling glass doors opening onto the patio, as well as double glass doors leading in from the hallway. The result is a living space that feels airy and welcoming throughout the day, yet cosy in the evenings with the feature electric fireplace.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom features fitted wardrobes and a modern en-suite, while three further double bedrooms offer flexibility for family, guests, or a home office. The family bathroom is well-appointed and practical for busy mornings. An airing cupboard and a separate utility cupboard complete the first-floor accommodation.

Additional points to note include air conditioning in the kitchen, living room, and principal bedroom, ensuring comfort year-round.

To the front, there is off-road parking with a driveway leading up to a detached garage. The secluded rear garden is a real highlight, featuring a well-kept lawn, mature borders, and a patio area ideal for outdoor dining or simply enjoying the sunshine. Side access and the detached garage add further convenience.

Chestnut Drive is part of the sought-after Abingworth Meadows development, which has quickly established itself as a vibrant and friendly neighbourhood. Residents enjoy a range of amenities rarely found in a village setting, including Meadow Stores and Café, perfectly positioned by the cricket pitch and village hall to create a lively community focal point.

For a wider choice of shops and services, the bustling village of Storrington is just over two miles away at the edge of the South Downs National Park. Here, you’ll find everything from a Waitrose and library to a health centre, dentists, and a variety of sports and social clubs, all set against the backdrop of the stunning South Downs.

Commuters are well served by Billingshurst station, around five miles to the north, with regular trains to London Victoria and the south coast. The larger towns of Horsham and Worthing are also within easy reach, at approximately 13 and 12 miles away respectively.
