Offered for sale for the first time in nearly 30 years, Parsons Farm offers an increasingly rare opportunity to own a fine period house surrounded by its own land, pasture and woodland yet in an unspoilt and accessible rural spot only 2.5 miles from Horsham town centre. In addition to the handsome Grade II Listed timber framed farmhouse, the property includes good secondary accommodation and excellent outbuildings, equestrian facilities and land.

The farmhouse with its mixture of brick, timbered and weatherboarded elevations was historically understood to have been built as a Sussex Barn in the early 17th C. with the Western bays used as a dwelling for most of the building's life and with the remaining bays of the barn converted by the previous architect owner to create a spectacular vaulted 24' reception room approached by the stone flagged floor entrance hall. With further additions within the current owners' tenure, the property offers flexibility for multi-generational family living between the house, attached annexe and the separate guest cottage.

The additional outbuildings are also considered to offer very good potential for further adaptation or conversion to alternative uses subject to planning and any Listed building consents. These outbuildings include flexible workshop/storage or garage space and with a particular feature being the fine Sussex barn that was relocated to the site as a conservation project by the previous owner and which offers considerable potential in its own right.

For the horse lover, the property is very well served by a very good range of equestrian facilities including the L-shaped range of Scotts supplied 6 stables with additional space at the edge of the yard for further washdown or other boxes (subject to any consents). To one side is an adaptable timber framed outbuilding for storage or other uses subject to any consents. Close-by is the Claydon 5-horse walker and a path leads past the orchard and walnut groves to a sand and rubber surfaced manège 60m x 30m by Charles Britton with post and rail outer boundary and mirrored end. Radiating from the key farmstead are the four main interconnecting but divided by a natural hedgerow/tree lines pasture fields together with the home paddock at the start of electric gated entrance drive.

The adaptable accommodation to the house is full of history and character with many period features including extensive exposed timbers, flooring and with the double height vaulted living room being the main talking point and including a wood burning stove. From the reception hall, there is a South facing dining room and snug/sitting room with inglenook fireplace and former front door. A useful utility area with oil-fired boiler, plumbing for washing machine and a range of fitted units connects to the later added and triple aspect family kitchen/breakfast room overlooking the garden with French doors out and including a good range of fitted units, electric oven and hob plus Aga.

To the first floor, the principal bedroom includes a comprehensive range of fitted wardrobes and bedroom furniture and with ensuite shower room, and then with adjacent double bedroom three and family bathroom. To the second floor with its fine vaulted exposed timbered roof is double bedroom two with part dividing internal timber framing to office/dressing area with fitted cupboards.

The annexe may be reached by an interconnecting door from the living room or separate external doors with adjacent EV charging point and with accommodation including entrance hall, South facing kitchen/dining/sitting room with a range of fitted units, inner hall, bathroom, stair ladder to attic/store, double aspect double bedroom and a triple aspect living room/bedroom with outlook over the garden and sliding glazed doors thereto.

The attractive gardens immediately adjoin the house and annexe and include a feature pond to the South side, adjacent summerhouse, kitchen garden and orchard with mixed fruits including apple, plum, pear and damsons with walnut trees beyond. The separate guest cottage includes a kitchen/sitting room, cloaks/shower room, single ground floor bedroom and to the first floor a double bedroom and dressing area/store. Attached to this are various adaptable outbuildings.

Completing the property and lying beyond the pasture fields with separate access from Kerves Lane is the gently undulating Hard’s Wood, a block of beautiful ancient woodland with mixed broadleaf species including oak, ash, field maple, cherry, hawthorn and hazel with an underlying carpet of bluebells and an abundance of wild garlic. Private paths meander through the wood and down to the stream with additional pond area to one side to complete the overall natural amenity appeal and conservation and wildlife interests. Of the total property of c. 28.07 acres, the wooded areas extends to approaching 16 acres and including newer plantations in and around the farm and all creating a diverse habitat and beautiful setting for the quiet enjoyment of the owners with great potential and flexibility for different equestrian, agricultural smallholding or recreational and conservation interests in this fine part of rural Sussex.

The property enjoys a very good rural location in a peaceful spot and yet is within 2.5 miles of Horsham town centre and station. The largely pedestrianised retail commercial hub to this vibrant old market and commuter town offers an extensive range of shops, entertainment and other facilities including two cinemas/theatre, national and independent retailers including John Lewis, Waitrose and Marks & Spencer, plus a number of restaurants, pubs, delicatessens and bakeries.
