Hammerpond Road, Plummers Plain, Horsham, West Sussex, RH13

Offering a stunning blend of retained, vintage features and contemporary interior styling, the property, provides just under 4,000 sq. ft of accommodation and the ideal environment for both entertaining guests and modern family lifestyles. The mellow-tones of wood panelling and flooring in the reception hall provides a warm welcome and a sense of bygone refinement, with the parquet extending into the adjoining formal dining room; a classic setting for hosting friends and family gatherings. For relaxed comfort, a homely front room is adjacent, with double doors opening to the garden terrace and, offering additional reception space, an impressive sitting room showcases exposed oak-breams, an inglenook fireplace and a bespoke window seating alcove with views across the grounds. The stylish kitchen/breakfast room transports to present-day design and craftsmanship, with clean-lines, sleek cabinetry and integrated appliances, with an Aga stove as an idiosyncratic accompaniment. Ancillary space is provided by a walk-in pantry and a utility room.

There are three ground floor bedrooms in one wing of the home, all with fitted wardrobe storage, including the principal room, which enjoys the benefits of luxurious en suite facilities and features a wrought-iron spiral stairway to an upper-level dressing room area. Two further bedrooms are situated on the opposite side of the property, affording a separate retreat for overnight guests, along with options to accommodate a dependent family member in an annexe-style setting.

The garden at Bucks Head is beautifully designed and maintained and provides several relaxation, dining and entertaining sites in a sunny, south-facing outdoor sanctuary. A wonderful selection of mature shrubs, specimen trees, manicured hedging, swathes of lawn and perennial planting create an attractive display, with planting around the pool and its terrace forming a tranquil, enclosed oasis. Equestrian-enthusiasts will delight in the stables complex and paddocks, which can be accessed via a separate driveway, and for the energetic, there is a full-sized tennis court with markings for multisport activities.
