Guide price

An exceptional and impressive Victorian house constructed of random flint and brick under a tiled roof with superbly-proportioned accommodation arranged over three floors. Ceiling heights are generous and original period features remain to include fine fireplaces, original joinery with panelled doors and exposed floorboards creating a welcoming atmosphere in this ideal family home. It is rare for a town house of this era to enjoy such a peaceful setting with the unusual advantage of good off-road parking and a particular feature is the secluded and lightly wooded aspect to the rear. There is gas-fired central heating to radiators. No chain.

Jarvis Lane is a pretty, narrow lane of individual homes with limited traffic and Stanecroft has pedestrian access to the High Street over adjoining wooded land. This is a prime residential setting within the Conservation Area and enjoying surprising tranquility. Steyning is a small country town with primary and secondary schools, churches, library, modern health centre and leisure centre with swimming pool. The town is full of historical interest and contains some of the most picturesque shop and domestic buildings in the area. There is a local by-pass which diverts most through-traffic and the coastal towns of Worthing and Brighton are eight and 12 miles respectively. Horsham is about 14 miles and Crawley and Gatwick Airport can normally be reached in 40 minutes' drive. The nearest mainline railway station is at Shoreham-by-Sea, five miles.
