Denne Park, Horsham, West Sussex

Denne Park House is a stately sandstone property believed to date from 1605, with significant sympathetic enhancement having been carried out in the late 19th century. Until 1947, the property was the home of the Eversfield family who prospered from the Wealden iron industry, after which time the residence was divided into 16 apartments, with Number 1 occupying a position on the ground floor of the mansion house. Reflecting its heritage, the handsome period architecture includes lofty, square-headed windows with stone mullions which allow natural light to flood inside the accommodation, and high-ceiling rooms provide an airy, unconfined and comfortable living environment. The hallway leads through to a charming reception room, which offers a relaxed sitting area centred around a feature fireplace, with a dining zone alongside providing a convivial setting to host family and friends. The adjoining kitchen is fitted with modern cabinetry, topped with wooden work surfaces, and contemporary wall tiling in complementary colour-tone completes the design.

The apartment offers one generously-proportioned bedroom with an east-facing outlook, along with a bathroom with shower fixture over the bathtub and an adjoining cloakroom. In the basement there is a private storage cupboard for the property.

Denne Park House is approached via a length of tree-lined driveway affording a grand sense of arrival, with a designated area providing plenty of space for residents and visitors to park vehicles. The property is set within beautifully maintained parkland grounds of just under 2.5 acres with swathes of lawn and majestic trees. There are spots to sit and enjoy the peace and seclusion of the setting, or to take a stroll and find tranquillity amongst the leafy habitat. There is an allocated parking space for the property and visitors parking, whilst in the nearby block there is a garage. Adjacent to the grounds, there are further expanses of open greenery with Horsham Golf offering an exceptional course and superb facilities for golf-enthusiasts.

Situated just to the south of the market town of Horsham, the property sits in a well-connected, convenient, semi-rural location with easy access to the Downs Link, which offers a route for walkers, horse-riders and cyclists across undulating landscape to the coastal plains. Historic Horsham offers a comprehensive range of facilities including a John Lewis at Home, Waitrose, Swan Walk shopping centre, a varied restaurant quarter, Horsham Park and Pavilions Leisure Centre, Horsham Sports Club, The Capitol (a multi-purpose art venue) and an Everyman Cinema. There is a mainline station with links to London Victoria/London Bridge (about 56 and 55 minutes respectively). The A24, M23 and wider motorway network are easily accessible providing access to London, Gatwick and the south coast. There are also a number of excellent schools in the area including Christ’s Hospital, Millais Girls and Forest Schools, Tanbridge School, Farlington, Pennthorpe and Cottesmore.
