Property for sale in Bank Passage, Steyning, West Sussex BN44

Council tax band: G

An impressive and handsome town house in which Justice was dispensed until 1996. The building was subsequently converted to an unusually high specification. The attractive brick frontage and original fenestration are unchanged; the deep sash windows complement the internal high ceilings and provide light into this gracious home. The general specification includes double-glazing, gas fired central heating to radiators, security system, luxury sanitary ware and bespoke kitchen. The whole is in immaculate decorative order.

In a charming lane off the picturesque High Street and within the Conservation Area. It is highly convenient for all shops and other amenities. Steyning is a small country town full of charm and contains well over 100 period buildings of all ages. It also has a modern civic centre and library, sports hall and swimming pool and they are all within a short walk of this property. The South Downs National Park forms the backdrop to Steyning and provides open walking country for many miles.

There is a local by-pass which diverts most through traffic from the town, and Worthing and Brighton are eight and 12 miles respectively. Horsham is about 14 miles to the north and Crawley and Gatwick Airport can normally be reached in about 40 minutes. The nearest main line railway station is at Shoreham-by-Sea (five miles).
