This substantial five-bedroom detached home (plus loft room/office) on Old Shoreham Road has generous, flexible family living across three levels. Period features — leaded bay windows, original wood panelling and fireplaces — combine with practical family spaces: a south-facing lounge, separate dining room, a 20' kitchen/breakfast area and a conservatory opening to a long, well-established rear garden. The plot includes a carriage-drive providing off-street parking for several vehicles.
The garden is a standout asset: approximately 119ft of thoughtfully planted beds, fruit trees, greenhouse, pond and summerhouse create a private outdoor retreat ideal for children and avid gardeners. Internally the house feels roomy throughout, with an occasional loft bedroom that can serve as a sixth bedroom, studio or play space. Heating is by a mains-gas boiler and radiators; windows are double glazed though installation dates are unknown.
Practical considerations to note: the house dates from 1924 and the cavity walls are assumed to lack modern insulation, so buyers should budget for potential energy-efficiency improvements. Council tax is above average and the wider local area is classified as deprived/hampered neighbourhoods — factors that may affect running costs and resale expectations. Overall this is a roomy, characterful family home with strong outdoor space and clear potential for sympathetic updating.
