Plum Cottage is a flexible five-bedroom detached home arranged over two floors with a self-contained annex — ideal for multi-generational living, a home office or rental income (subject to permissions). A large, bright open-plan kitchen/dining/family room is the social heart, with a wide rooflight and bi-fold doors that open directly onto the private rear garden and covered outdoor entertaining area. Separate reception rooms and a study give everyday family life and formal entertaining distinct spaces.
The property sits on a sizeable, level plot with an in-and-out gravel driveway providing parking for numerous cars, plus extensive outbuildings including a workshop, sheds and a covered outdoor cinema/ seating area. The house has been updated with contemporary fittings and luxury bathrooms, and benefits from double glazing installed post-2002.
Important practical points: the heating runs from an oil-fired boiler (not a community supply), the cavity walls are assumed to have no insulation, broadband speeds in the area are slow and there is a medium flood risk. Council tax is expensive. These are material running costs and retrofit considerations for buyers to factor into long-term budgets.
Located just off the town centre, the house is within walking distance of Horley and Gatwick stations, Waitrose and several well-regarded schools, making it convenient for commuters and families. The home’s size, outbuildings and annex offer genuine versatility for growing households, home-based work or part-let arrangements, while the large garden and private setting deliver strong outdoor amenity.
