Full description

Platts Green House (also formerly known as Hydehurst Farm) comprises a substantial detached family home including three reception rooms, nine bedrooms and four bath/shower rooms spread over three floors plus a one-bedroom annexe. Understood to have been built in the 1930’s in the Arts & Crafts style, the house offers features reminiscent of the period of design and externally includes leaded light windows to part within oak mullions, a mixture of painted rendered elevations with part exposed timber framing, small areas of tile hanging under a clay tiled, pitched and part hipped roof with substantial brick chimney stacks. The property now offers the opportunity for refurbishment and repair to potentially create an impressive family house with extensive accommodation and combined with renovation of the mature grounds including potential reinstatement of the tennis court and swimming pool and enhancements of the nearby paddock and land. There is a high earth bund/bank and tree planting to the boundary with the A24 (planning consent ref. WG/34/97).Parts of the land has been subject to the depositing of waste material and for which an Enforcement Enquiry (ref EN/19/0300) was raised by Horsham District Council in 2019 for unauthorised operational development and engineering operations, plus level changes. Prospective purchasers should make their own enquiries in relation to this. An Intrusive Site Investigation report dated 28th July 2024 by Oakshire Environmental following their site visit on 13th July 2024 is available from the Agents and which results show a low to moderate risk from materials deposited on site.

Why live in Horsham?

1 of 5

Horsham strikes the perfect balance with its community facilities and green spaces. There’s a market square at The Carfax complete with traditional bandstand, an abundance of shops, a cinema, theatre, leisure centre and a 60-acre park right in the centre of town.

We have an impressive mix of older properties, including historic buildings from the 1400s and 1500s with later additions from the Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian eras and some stunning artistic properties. Head out along The Causeway and you’ll see every style, from 15th century homes to new builds, on one superb road.

Horsham has many great schools, both state and private, junior and senior. Millais, Tanbridge House, Farlington, Windlesham House, St Marys and Heron Way all have excellent Ofsted ratings and have received equally positive reviews from pupils and parents. There’s a good range of shopping here too, including high street favourites and independent stores and coffee shops. You’ll also find a huge selection of eateries, bars, cafés and pubs in the town and a particularly high density of restaurants along East Street that has given rise to its nickname, ‘Eat Street’.

We have a great tradition of sports in Horsham and, more importantly, of supporting our local teams. Our town is the proud host of Sussex Cricket Club, which frequently plays on the Horsham Cricket Club grounds while the local cricket, football and rugby teams also attract great crowds on match days. If you like walking in beautiful countryside you’ll be spoilt for choice in Horsham while the Southwater Country Park has a Dinosaur Island play area for young families and kayaking and canoeing facilities for older children. The Pavilions in the Park leisure centre has indoor and outdoor heated pools and an aerial adventure course with ropes and a climbing wall. For more cultural pursuits, the Capitol Theatre and Cinema on North Street has a busy calendar of both theatrical productions and the latest movies.
