Property description
EPC - F. Woodmans Ghyll enjoys a fine rural location within the South Downs National Park with gardens and a delightful area of ancient woodland extending in all to about 2.3 acres. The property is believed to have been originally built in the 1920s and was subsequently substantially extended to provide excellent family sized and versatile accommodation. The reception hallway extends to some 43ft in length, semi divided by glazed double doors with a feature archway. The sitting room enjoys a bright and sunny double aspect with a large stone clad fireplace and a woodburning stove, a picture window taking full advantage of the view across the rear garden and double glazed doors opening to a patio. The dining room is another impressive room extending to over 23ft in length, providing a perfect entertaining area, with a study doubling as a fifth bedroom.
The bungalow is heated with an LPG gas fired central heating system and there are solar P.V. panels from which an annual income is derived. The expansive accommodation extends to the kitchen/breakfast room with its Aga cooking range (also supplying the domestic hot water) and an extensive range of oak fronted units, walk in larder cupboard and practical tiled floor. An adjoining utility room provides plenty of storage, plumbing for a washing machine and has a stable door. All the bedrooms are of double size served by a large bathroom with a separate shower cubicle.
Located In a delightful setting with no immediate neighbours, the property is approached via twin five bar gates leading to an exceptionally large shingled parking area providing parking for numerous cars and to a substantial range of outbuildings including a double garage with an inspection pit and three car ports. The principal area of garden lies to the rear with a paved patio adjoining the sitting room, enclosed by colourful shrub borders and a backdrop of wisteria and honeysuckle, taking full advantage of the sunny south westerly aspect. A delightful wild flower meadow has been created with numerous orchids and a row of fruit trees, adjoining which is an area of ancient woodland privately owned by Woodmans Ghyll and forming part of The Mens (an area of Special Scientific Interest), which derives its name from the Anglo Saxon word 'ge-maennes' meaning common land. For lovers of nature this is a fascinating ancient forest, home to typical ancient woodland trees such as Wild Service, Midland Hawthorn and Spindle carpeted with bluebells during late spring.
SITUATION Woodmans Ghyll lies in a rural location with the villages of Kirdford and Wisborough Green, each about 3 miles away, with their village shops, primary schools, churches and public houses. The market town of Petworth is about 3.75 miles to the west and the large historic village of Billingshurst lies about 6 miles away with its range of shopping, banking and medical facilities, schooling for all age groups, leisure centre and mainline station providing a train service into London Victoria as well as the south coast. Further afield lie Haslemere (12.3 miles) with a train service into London Waterloo and Guildford which is just under 24 miles.
