Okewood Hill, West Sussex, RH5

*£500,000-£525,000*

This semi-detached rural property has been in the same ownership for 25 years and has been a much-loved home. Located on a quiet road in the village of Okewood Hill this cottage was extended in 2000 by the current owner to create a large kitchen dining space, and a light bright master bedroom, with doors opening onto a Juliette balcony overlooking the surrounding countryside and into the Surrey Hills.

Upstairs there are two good sized bedrooms, the master with a beautiful, vaulted ceiling and Juliette balcony overlooking the view. The second bedroom is full of cottage charm with its period fireplace. The large bathroom and landing area give a sense of space and with a window the area is light and bright.

Downstairs there is a sitting room at the front of the property with a cosy wood burner making this room ideal for relaxing with a log fire.

In the kitchen the light floods through the double doors on the extension, which really opens up the space. With space for a large table and plenty of workspace the modern white units and wooden tops and a tiled floor this home has the practicalities needed as well as comfort.

The garden is easy to maintain, and the perfectly positioned bench overlooks fields at the rear, ideal for a morning coffee. Typically, you can see sheep grazing in the field and an uninterrupted view of the Surrey Hills and Leith Hill Tower.

The current owner parks on the road, but there is parking for this property on land adjacent to the property.

This home is surrounded by peace and quiet of the countryside, with long walks on your doorstep and several pubs within a comfortable walk. This rural spot has a sense of community with a nearby cricket club offering pool and darts nights, the local village hall (both Okewood Hill and neighbouring Walliswood) offering a wide range of activities and classes and a local nursery and pre-school.

If you are looking for a quiet spot in the countryside yet only 15 mins drive from Horsham with its wide range of shops and leisure facilities, a train station at Ockley only 6 miles (15mins), where the train travels directly to London Victoria in 1hr 15mins, and a local pub just around the corner then you must come and have a look at this cottage.

To the West Cranleigh has a bustling high street with cafe culture, arts and leisure facilities. The local pub The Punch Bowl has a small shop ideal for that emergency pint of milk, the Farm Shop in Ockley has a superb range of local produce and the Petrol Station is just 3.5miles away

For those who love the outdoors the nearby Holmbury, Pitch & Leith Hill offer thousands of acres of sandy open access walking, biking and horse riding. With a range of woodland and open areas these hills have some spectacular paths and stunning views where you can see both London to the North and the Sea to the South.
