| Carpenters is a detached bungalow built in the mid 1950 and sitting centrally on a plot in the region of a quarter of an acre within the popular village of Slinfold. The property itself is very much a blank canvas as there is planning permission for an extension alteration/enlargement which would transform the accommodation into a family sized two storey home. The present accommodation comprises a good sized entrance hall, three bedrooms and bathroom, triple aspect living room and kitchen with adjacent sun room/dining room. Aside from its fabulous location, the property has excellent sized gardens front and the rear and there is also extensive driveway parking and a large garage/workshop with other timber sheds. Carpenters enjoys an "Arts & Crafts" feel and there is much use of quality materials including stone in the elevations and some exposed oak and pine internal joinery. There is also a new gas fired combi boiler providing heating and instantaneous hot water and there are some recently fitted double glazed windows. This is indeed an excellent opportunity to create a very individual home and for more information please contact us at the earliest opportunity. |

| SITUATION: | Slinfold is a much sought after and picturesque village almost midway between Billingshurst and Horsham (both have direct railway services to Victoria/London Bridge). The ancient St Peter’s Church and the highly regarded C E Primary School occupy central locations. For older children there is The Weald comprehensive school in Billingshurst and Tanbridge House secondary school in Horsham. Pennthorpe and Farlington private schools are a short car journey away. There is a village store/post office and the well patronised Red Lyon Public House. Bus services to Horsham and Guildford run through the middle of the village and local sporting facilities include golf at Slinfold Park and there are football, cricket and tennis clubs in the village and sports centres at Christ's Hospital and Broadbridge Heath. |
