Exposed timbers, original brick flooring and sizeable inglenooks can be found in abundance at Farriers in the village of Heyshott, near Midhurst, which is currently on the market via Knight Frank for offers over £995,000.
The bespoke designer kitchen is especially striking, where dark exposed oak timbers meet with hand-made reclaimed timber cabinetry and polished concrete worktops. The effect creates a cosy, understated room which in turn leads into the open-plan dining area complete with huge exposed brick Inglenook fireplace.
As attractive as all this is, it’s hard to compete with the glorious views over the South Downs from all four bedrooms with exposed floorboards and a walk-in wardrobe in the master.
Approached by a wooden five-bar gate, the house is surrounded by lovely landscaped gardens, with plenty of mature trees, borders and seating areas, and a little stream meandering through.
Farriers is currently on the market via Knight Frank for offers over £995,000 — see more pictures, or enquire with the agent for further details.
