Property description
The Old Coach House is a delightful Grade II Listed attached period cottage situated in the heart of the historic High Street. The listings entry dates it back to the 17th Century or earlier and describes it as a re-fronted timber-framed cottage, although Dr Annabel Hughes, who is a research consultant in historical buildings, says that the form of roof construction, window and flooring evidence indicate a build in the 1500s. She goes on to say the documentary research suggests that it may be on a site called Lewkners Garden and that it was called Swan House, on which there are Deeds from about 1602 and which was in three occupations by 1841.
The cottage itself boasts a charming sitting room with a fine inglenook fireplace feature with a woodburning stove and canopy, with a plethora of exposed wall and ceiling timbering. The kitchen/dining room to the rear has a range of oak styled units with a glazed door opening to a double-glazed conservatory designed to take advantage of the view down the rear garden. An open tread staircase leads to the first floor with both the landing and the three bedrooms having part-vaulted beamed ceilings, with extensive wardrobes to the main bedroom. The character of the cottage is complemented by stripped pine internal doors, with leaded-light windows to the front elevation. The cottage style garden to the rear is another attractive feature, where a crazy paved area with an old well overlooks a deep lawned area adjoined by cottage-style flower and shrub borders, the whole enjoying a high degree of seclusion and having a depth of approximately 46'. A gate to the left hand side of the cottage provides an independent means of access to the rear garden from the High Street.
SITUATION The Old Coach House enjoys a highly central location within a moment's walk of all the facilities in the High Street, with schooling for all age groups, a leisure centre with a gym and swimming pool, a mainline station with a frequent train service into London Victoria, Gatwick International Airport and the south coast all situated in Station Road. The larger provincial centre of Horsham and Gatwick International Airport are about 7 and 21.5 miles respectively.
