Arundel Road, Fontwell, Arundel, West Sussex, BN18

A rare opportunity to acquire a stunning imposing family home, believed to have been built in the 1920’s in an old Sussex style, recently refurbished to an extremely high standard.

Barnfield House has recently undergone a complete transformation to reflect a contemporary style, combined with modern day living, which is timeless and elegant. There is nod to the deco period the home was built in, referencing a reeded glass chandelier, aged brass wall lights, fluted glass doors and top lights, antique style door furniture and the original fireplace. The property offers three reception rooms, a principal bedroom suite plus three further bedrooms, two bathrooms and a detached annexe. Additional features include luxury carpets, Karndean flooring, designer kitchen and bathrooms, open fire place and feature stove.

On entering this charming home you will be greeted by the original door and a spacious welcoming reception hall. The accommodation is superb and spans over two floors, with the downstairs layout particularly suited to family life and entertaining. To the left of the entrance hall, a family room/snug with modern inset fire opens to the dual aspect light flooded kitchen/dining room, where one set of double doors access a lovely south facing terrace drinks terrace and walled private garden, perfect for indoor/outdoor living. The kitchen itself is fitted with a selection of contemporary Sylvarna units, incorporating a variety of integral NEFF appliances, quartz worktop, inset sink and breakfast bar. A further set of double doors access a paved entertaining terrace and the rear garden, whilst steps off the kitchen lead to the study/playroom.

Stairs lead to the first floor where you will find a spacious triple aspect principal bedroom suite with built in wardrobes, separate dressing room and en suite shower room, fitted with Duravit sanitaryware. The additional three bedrooms are all doubles and these rooms are serviced by a good sized family bathroom with bath and shower facilities.

Outside, the walled garden at the rear has been planted with a selection of shrubs but is mainly laid to lawn and very private. A well-proportioned detached annexe sits beside the garden and is well configured featuring one double bedroom with store/walk in wardrobe, a large bathroom and an open plan kitchen/living/dining room, plus useful storage rooms at the front.

To the front, the property is approached via a long gravelled driveway, providing private off-road parking for several vehicles. Additionally, there is the potential to construct a car barn/garage beside the annexe at the rear if desired (Planning Granted).

Barnfield House also has Planning Permission for a series of extensions to increase the floor plan on the ground and first floor, providing a great opportunity to customise this home further.
