Spronketts Lane, Bolney
£795,000

Open day this Saturday 6th June. A most attractive Edwardian house in a large secluded garden with 1.5 acres of adjacent woodland. Formerly part of the Colwood Manor estate the property lies on the rural fringes of the village of Bolney, at the edge of the famous 'Golden Triangle' as once alluded to in the property supplement of the Sunday Times, describing the area as one of the south's most desirable areas. This quiet and peaceful lane is only a couple of minutes drive of the A272, connecting quickly to the the A23, Brighton, M25 and Gatwick airport. Consent was given in 2001 to extend the house at the rear on two storeys to provide an additional living room with master bedroom over. Approached through the grand pillared entrance gates, that lead to other properties within the original country house setting, the front door is protected by a deep storm porch veranda. A hallway separates the kitchen dining room, from the snug, main sitting room, cloakroom and the staircase to a first floor, with three double bedrooms, single bedroom or office and family bathroom. The master has the benefit of its own ensuite. The cellar is accessed from the hall as well as from an outer door in the garden. This space is plumbed for washing machine and has a Belfast sink, making a separate utility area for the property. It extends to a larger room that could be used as a play room as it has plenty of natural light or as a gym, additional storage etc. The bespoke kitchen is constructed in high quality natural wood and benefits from an AGA cooker as well as separate electric oven and LPG gas hob, a natural timber floor and an external door to the side garden and car port area. There is an open fireplace to the snug and an LP gas fired stove to the main living room. The sitting room also has double doors that open onto the main patio and rear gardens. Outside there is a timber clad open carport to one side of the building which could house two smaller cars with additional parking in front. The gardens comprise of two patios that enjoy sunshine at different times of the day and neat lawns, interspersed with trees. The frontage to the lane has a beautiful brick wall and the entire plot is completely secluded with the other boundaries being fenced with mature shrubbery and hedging. Directly opposite on the other side of the lane is an area of established woodland containing a number of specimen oaks and more recently planted birches. Extending to about 1.5 acres it makes a haven for young families to explore and make camps, an amenity area for barbecues and gatherings and has great potential to lightly coppice.
This part of the lane is a community within itself, with a clutch of properties making up the converted former country house and its immediate surrounds. The village center of Bolney is a 5 minute drive away with two pub restaurants, primary school and beautiful church, a pair a petrol stations each with their own convenience stores. The famous Flexinet owned Bolney Vineyard is located in the adjacent lane and offers a lovely cafe restaurant facility on elevated decking overlooking the vines as well as its own shop. Bolney has a busy village community hall with cafe, nursery school, drama stage and more, with a recreation ground and well supported cricket club. For walkers and cyclists, there are a myriad of options both footpath and quiet country lanes to choose from, literally via the front door.
