6 Bedroom Detached For Sale in Goring Road, Steyning, West Sussex, BN44 3GF

Summary

Highcroft is an exceptional example of fine late-19th Century architecture providing spacious family accommodation arranged over three floors with good cellarage below. The elevations of this detached house are brick and part-rendered, with high quality conservation-grade double-glazed windows to the majority of rooms, under a pitched roof with dormers.

The house has been in the same ownership for some 45 years and has been meticulously maintained, carefully preserving the period features to include impressive fireplaces, detailed wall-panelling and ceiling finishes, original joinery, all enhanced by generous ceiling heights and gently-rising staircases to the upper floors. There is gas-fired central heating to radiators.

The cellarage has potential to provide additional accommodation, such as a games room, with direct access to the mature and secluded garden and there is hard-standing parking for vehicles at the front of the property. The principal rooms overlook the gardens and from this slightly elevated position there are far-reaching views over open space with the ridge of the South Downs in the distance.

There are few homes of this calibre in the town and given the lengthy period of tenure enjoyed by the present owner this is a rare opportunity to purchase an exceptional family home.

Location

Goring Road is a prime residential location on the south-west side of the town and it has always been the fashionable road in the town. Close to the southern end of the road, the property is within a short walk of Steyning High Street with shops for day-to-day needs and Post Office. It is also ideal as a family house as it is within walking distance of schools as well as the various sporting and cultural and other recreational facilities, of which there are almost a hundred in Steyning. The small country town lies at the foot of the South Downs National Park.

There is a local by-pass which diverts most through traffic from the town, and Worthing and Brighton are eight and 12 miles respectively. Horsham is about 14 miles to the north and Crawley and Gatwick Airport can normally be reached in about 40 minutes. The nearest main line railway station is at Shoreham-by-Sea (five miles).
