Full description
Set in the idyllic countryside of Truslers Hill, 2 Oak Cottages was originally a farm workers cottage which has been gently and lovingly transformed over the past 25 years of ownership into an exceptional family home.
Now a 4-bedroom semi-detached house having been twice extended, initially in 2009 and latterly in 2023; this property has been meticulously redesigned into a contemporary country residence. It has a fabulous blend of country comfort and modern convenience that just works brilliantly well for family life.
The stunning open plan kitchen, dining, and family room, the heart of the home has been perfectly planned. From the flagstone floor sourced from Beswick Stone in Cirencester, to the range of cabinetry, the beautiful blue Aga or the modern integrated appliances; this is modern living meeting country style embodied. To the rear of the room the dining area looks over the garden and paddocks accessed by the hand made, hardwood rear door. Further thought was given to functionality as well as presentation by encompassing two utility rooms, one for laundry and a further boot room for convenience.
The ground floor has two further reception rooms: a delightful snug with its Victorian fireplace. This could easily double as a further bedroom. Then there is the grand yet comfortable living room, the centre of which is certainly the bespoke inglenook fireplace, completed by having views over the garden and land.
On the first floor the principle bedroom has incorporated bedroom 4 as a dressing room which along with the en-suite shower room have created a lovely and spacious suite. The remaining two well sized bedrooms are served by the family bathroom ensuring plenty of space for all.
Beyond the gardens lie the equestrian facilities with the land in all totalling approximately 4 acres. Complete with a bespoke Levade stable block comprising of 3 stables, a store area, internal tack room, wash down area and rug room all under an oversized overhang for a dry working area.
The property's tree-lined paddocks (being dog and stock proof) provide a picturesque backdrop as well as the obvious space needed for grazing and are meticulously maintained to the highest standards.
A variety of outbuildings, including an insulated garden room/office with power, and a mower shed with drive in access provide versatile spaces for work or leisure pursuits.
Conveniently located less than 3 miles from the renowned equestrian venue of Hickstead, less than 5 miles from Pyecombe, and within approximately 20 minutes' drive of Gatwick Airport, this property offers a harmonious blend of countryside living and urban accessibility.
