Sandacre is a charming period home, originally built in the 1930s, offering over 5,700 sq. ft. of beautifully presented accommodation. Nestled in the heart of its expansive gardens, which extend to just under half an acre, this property is ideally located only 350 yards from the quaint village shops of Shalford. With its blend of character, modern upgrades, and versatile living spaces, Sandacre is an exceptional family home in immaculate, turnkey condition.

The house welcomes you with its timeless character, featuring original wooden floors and a sense of understated elegance throughout. The accommodation is arranged across five double bedrooms, three of which boast en suite facilities. The principal suite is a true sanctuary, overlooking the manicured gardens and complete with a dressing room and a luxurious en suite bathroom.

The living spaces are equally impressive. The principal reception room is centred around a striking open fireplace, providing a warm and inviting atmosphere. A second sitting room and the formal dining room both open directly onto the garden, perfect for seamless indoor-outdoor living. A substantial games room offers further versatility, while the heart of the home is undoubtedly the beautifully appointed kitchen/breakfast room. Recently updated with bespoke cabinetry, solid granite worktops, a hot water tap, and a macerator, it is complemented by a large pantry, a boot room, and a gardener?s WC.

For those seeking additional flexibility, the property includes a detached wooden barn-style garage with a studio annexe above. This self-contained space features a kitchenette, a small bathroom, and all the necessary utilities, making it ideal for guests, a nanny, or even a home office.

The property is set back from this private road which is owned by Sandacre, behind secure electric gates, opening onto a sweeping gravel driveway with ample parking and an EV charging point. The landscaped gardens are a true highlight, offering a large patio for entertaining, a level lawn for children to play, and a secluded area with raised beds and a shed. A pedestrian gate provides direct access to Horsham Road, offering a convenient shortcut to the village centre.

Since acquiring the property in 2018, the current owners have carried out an extensive modernisation programme, combining thoughtful upgrades with the home?s inherent charm. Works have included rewiring and replastering throughout, the installation of a high-pressure water system with two new boilers, and comprehensive improvements to security and technology. These include a wired intruder alarm, CCTV system, automated gates, and Cat 5 internet ports in every room, as well as smart heating controls and modern kitchen additions like a boiling water tap. Together, these updates ensure the property is perfectly equipped for modern living.
