Sweetmans is an elegant detached period house originally of Victorian era and understood to have been built in 1880 with an attractive exterior comprising a combination of exposed brick with painted rendering at first floor level and under a pitched roof covered in clay tiles including to the later additions to the rear which have been sympathetically married with the original and previously with planning consent for further enlargement (Horsham District Council ref DC/10/0067).

The house is finished in neutral colours mainly from the Farrow & Ball range and with uPVC double glazed windows throughout along with substantial hand-built wooden double glazed garden room to the rear to take full advantage of the fine outlook over the neighbouring pasture land. There is electric underfloor heating to the kitchen, utility room and the first floor modern shower room.

To the South-West side is a pretty rose and clematis covered pergola with paths leading to the side of the house and, adjacent to the back door, insulated timber workshop/potential office with power and light connected.

From the electric gated private entrance drive with parking adjoining the timber garage and with planning consent having previously been passed (ref: DC/09/0182) and now lapsed for a replacement and enlarged double garage.
