Detached house for sale in Nuthurst Road, Monk's Gate, Horsham RH13

Courtney Green are delighted to offer for sale this double-fronted character cottage believed to have been constructed by the philanthropic Godman sisters formerly of South Lodge to provide midwifery and district nurse services locally. Built in around 1910, the house is a classic Victorian cottage style which now has reproduction sash windows along with pebble dash panels. The property has been sympathetically extended and now affords family-sized accommodation over two floors comprising an entrance hall, extended living room, separate dining room, good sized kitchen with oil fired Aga and pantry with utility lobby, downstairs shower room and cloakroom and a useful further rear lobby. Upstairs there are three bedrooms, the principal bedroom has an en-suite bathroom. Almost all of the upstairs windows afford stunning views which are directly South to the rear over farmland and an attractive elevated view North over adjacent properties. Overall, the property is in reasonable condition. However, some modernisation will doubtlessly be required, but the property has very good bones and may have further scope for enlargement subject to the relevant consents and approvals being required and obtainable. Outside there are attractive cottage gardens and a generous driveway parking area along with a large double garage workshop. The property is offered with the benefit of no forward chain and viewings are very strongly recommended with the vendors sole agent, Courtney Green.
