5 bedroom detached bungalow for sale

Full description

A rare opportunity to acquire a secluded bungalow set within one acre of private gardens and woodland, in one of the areas most discreet and desirable settings.

Foresters sits at the end of a private lane off Hammerpond Road, shared with only a handful of individual homes. Its position offers remarkable peace and privacy, surrounded by mature trees and natural greenery, yet within easy reach of Handcross village, Horsham town and major transport links.

The property reflects the architectural style of its era, with wide picture windows, generous ceiling heights and a layout that captures both light and space - features that continue to define well designed single storey living today. The accommodation extends to around 2,265 square feet, thoughtfully improved and ideal for those seeking spacious, single level living.

The layout flows naturally around a central kitchen and dining area, opening to a large sitting room with feature fireplace and wide garden views. Glazed doors lead directly from the sitting room to the sun terrace, which enjoys a perfect south facing aspect.

A bright conservatory adjoins the main living area and also opens onto the terrace, providing a lovely space to enjoy the garden throughout the seasons.

The principal bedroom enjoys a double aspect with a beautiful garden outlook and its own en suite shower room. There are four further bedrooms, one of which is currently arranged as a study with a wonderful open view across the grounds. A separate bathroom and a second shower room serve the remaining bedrooms, offering flexibility for families or visiting guests.

The setting and proportions lend themselves to a variety of lifestyles. For buyers seeking additional accommodation, there is scope to create an annexe or self contained suite for a family member or for assisted independent living, subject to the necessary consents. Equally, the existing arrangement works beautifully as it stands, offering comfort, space and privacy within a rare countryside setting.

Alternatively, the property could be viewed as a remarkable opportunity for a bespoke project. With the scale of the plot and its discreet private setting, a buyer could explore planning consent to create their own contemporary home or Grand Design while retaining the same exclusivity and natural surroundings that make this location so special.

The gardens extend to just over an acre, with sweeping lawns, mature shrubs and a woodland backdrop that ensures complete seclusion. There is a detached greenhouse and garden store, along with an integral double garage and generous gravel driveway providing ample parking and turning space.

Handcross village is just two miles away with local shops, caf and pubs, while Horshams vibrant town centre is five miles to the south. The A23 provides fast connections to London, Gatwick and the south coast.
