Cox Green, Rudgwick, Horsham, West Sussex

Jasmine Cottage is an historic part-tile-hung timber-framed family home, sympathetically improved and extended to provide light-filled accommodation combining modern amenities with the charm and character of the original period property. Retained features include a wealth of exposed wall and ceiling beams and an inglenook fireplace. Configured to provide an ideal family and entertaining space, the accommodation flows from a welcoming entrance hall with a useful cloakroom and briefly comprises a generous wooden-floored sitting room with an inglenook fireplace with woodburning stove, and an extensive open-plan area comprising a kitchen with wooden flooring, and a large flagstone-floored drawing/dining room. The kitchen has a range of wall and base units including a central island with breakfast bar and modern integrated appliances while the light-filled drawing/dining room has sky lanterns and bi-fold doors to the garden. Approached over an original wooden staircase rising from the sitting room, the first floor provides a generous principal bedroom with contemporary en suite shower room, an additional bedroom with modern en suite bathroom and one further bedroom.

Set back from the road and having plenty of kerb appeal, the property is approached through double wooden gates over a side driveway providing private parking and giving access to a rear parking area adjoining the secluded rear garden, laid mainly to level lawn interspersed with specimen trees. There are numerous seating areas, a 15 ft. garden office with French doors to a decked terrace, a 19ft. shed, suitable for a variety of uses, and a paved terrace, ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining.
