Set within the exclusive Silver Birches development in Small Dole, this substantial five‑bedroom detached house sits on a very large plot and backs directly onto Sussex woodland. The house offers generous reception rooms, a show‑stopping kitchen with island and integrated appliances, a full-depth principal suite with walk‑in wardrobe and ensuite, plus a double garage and driveway parking for several cars. The extensive rear garden (approximately 200ft) and mature oaks create a private, rural feel while being only minutes from Henfield and local amenities.
The property was built in the 1990s and has been well finished: double glazing, mains gas boiler with radiators, an unvented hot water cylinder, and an Energy Performance rating of C. Modern touches include quartz worktops, underfloor heating in bathrooms, Wi‑Fi controls, and concealed media storage. Structural calculations confirm the wall between kitchen and lounge is not load‑bearing, offering clear potential to create a more dramatic open plan living area if desired.
Practical considerations are straightforward and stated openly. The house has two bathrooms for five bedrooms, which may suit families who can adapt one bedroom or the front room for an extra WC or utility; the front room is already used as a treatment space and could be reconfigured. Council tax sits in Band G, so ongoing running costs will be higher than average. Mobile signal is average, though broadband speeds are reported as fast.
This home will appeal to buyers seeking a spacious family residence in a quiet, semi‑rural village setting with excellent outdoor access — from doorstep walks into Woods Mill Nature Reserve to nearby South Downs routes. It combines private, countryside living with good road and rail connections to Brighton and London for commuters, and offers sensible scope for configuration and improvement without major structural works.
