Full Details for 5 Bedroom Detached for sale in Billingshurst, RH14 :
EPC - D. Idolsfold House enjoys a glorious elevated rural location close to the South Downs National Park with splendid views across its own land to the South Downs beyond. Believed to have been built in the 1980's the property affords excellent family sized accommodation approached via an impressive reception hall with a wide solid oak staircase rising to a large galleried landing. The main reception room has a fine feature fireplace with the large kitchen/family room with its bespoke fitted units, granite work tops and large Aga range forming very much the hub of the house. Also situated on the ground floor is a useful utility room and boot room. On the first floor all five bedrooms are a double size, two served by en-suites with a large family bathroom serving the three remaining bedrooms.
The property is approached via its own long driveway with an extensive shingled forecourt providing plenty of parking and leading to a triple garage block with a two roomed studio over in addition to a cloakroom/shower room. A stable block provides three good size stables, a tack room, feed room and hay store with a nearby all weather sand school. The house stands almost centrally in its formal gardens which are principally laid out with large expanses of lawn lightly interspersed with specimen trees with a hard tennis court and large pond. The remaining land is laid out as five enclosures with mainly stock proof fencing where a small lake is sited. In all the formal gardens and paddocks amount to approximately 11.5 acres.
NB 1: There is a public footpath which runs from Balls Cross Road along the right hand side of the driveway.
NB 2: The property has a planning condition which limits the occupancy of the house to a person solely or mainly employed or having ceased employment, last employed in the locality in agriculture as defined in section 290 (1) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1971 or in forestry (including any dependents of such a person residing with him or her), or a widow or widower of such a person.
SITUATION

The market town of Petworth is just over 4.5 miles to the west with the historic village of Billingshurst providing a range of shopping, banking and medical facilities, schooling for all age groups, a leisure centre together with a mainline station with a train service into London/Victoria and Gatwick as well as the south coast. Further afield are the large provincial centres of Haslemere (about 10.25 miles) with a train service into London/Waterloo and Guildford (about 21.5 miles away).
