Old Heatherwode is a beautifully presented Grade II listed detached home, occupying a slightly elevated, edge of village position. The property enjoys far-reaching rear views towards the South Downs and is surrounded by landscaped gardens that enhance its inherent sense of tranquillity.

Believed to date from the C16th, it has pretty red brick elevations under a half-hipped Horsham stone roof. The charming front elevation and the heavy oak front door set the tone; the property is rich in character and has many fine period details including latticed windows, beams and open plasterwork.

The principal reception room is particularly impressive, a generously proportioned double-aspect sitting room centred around a magnificent inglenook fireplace, with a cast iron fire basket and original bread oven. A sliding door leads to a sun room, where French doors open onto the garden, creating a wonderful space to relax, or perhaps work from home.

Across the hallway, the dining room also features exposed beams and an inglenook fireplace, with a superb cast iron fire basket and backplate, making it an ideal setting for entertaining. Beyond, the kitchen provides a practical and well-arranged workspace, fitted with modern fixtures and offering direct access to the garden.
