Description
Approached via a quiet country lane and electric gates, Plumtree Cottage is an impressive country house, recently renovated to an exceptional standard with equestrian facilities including stables, tack room, sand school and paddocks plus a swimming pool and converted barn with additional accommodation, all set in over 3.5 acres of idyllic park-like gardens.

Upon entering this substantial home, you are welcomed by an impressive staircase, with access to a generous, dual aspect sitting room, complete with wood burning stove, beautiful oak flooring and doors to the gardens. Across the entrance hall is an impressive open plan area with a magnificent ‘Tom Howley’ kitchen, this sets the tone for the attention to detail throughout the home. This fantastic sociable space is perfect for dining, entertaining and, as there is another woodburning stove here, relaxing. On this floor, you will also find a utility/boot room, with side access to the property and a separate cloakroom.

To the first floor, the principal suite offers the perfect balance of a bedroom area, with fitted wardrobes, a large dressing area, with walk in wardrobe and a superior en suite, with a free standing cast iron bath, separate shower, two sinks and WC. Here the quality is defined by the use of carrera marble and nickel fittings. This is a beautiful room, with views onto the garden. There are three further double bedrooms, all with fitted wardrobes and two bathrooms of equal quality and design. There is also a laundry room on this floor, ideal for family living.

Outside, there is a stable yard with four loose boxes, three of which have rubber matted flooring and automated water feeders. One is used as a tack room, with fitted Belfast sink and plumbing for a washing machine. There is a further garden store, single garage and a two bay open carport. The manege has a separate entrance from the lane, with access to the two paddocks and 40m x 20m floodlit sand school with small barn adjoining. There is a canter track nearby for use by agreement, and the ability to hack directly from the property, in the surrounding beautiful woodland.

Plumtree Cottage benefits from additional accommodation in the form of a converted Sussex barn. Here there is flexible accommodation on the ground floor with a kitchenette. To the first floor are two large double bedrooms, both with en suite shower rooms.

The established and beautifully maintained gardens envelope this property, offering a wealth of privacy. To the rear of the garage building is a heated swimming pool, with summer house/changing room, with an adjoining plant room, housing the separate oil fired boiler and filtration system. All in all, this beautiful home sits within 3.57 acres of land.

Location
Located within the rural hamlet of The Haven, Plumtree Cottage enjoys a wonderful position surrounded by woodland with extensive countryside walks directly from the property. Plumtree Cottage lies between the villages of Billingshurst to the south and Rudgwick to the north being approximately 4 miles and 3.2 miles respectively and benefits from being within a third of a mile of a popular country pub, The Blue Ship.
With its rural surroundings, there are a myriad of bridleways and public footpaths to explore which link many of the surrounding villages as well as the nearby Wey and Arun canal at Loxwood.

Local amenities for everyday shopping are available at Cranleigh (7 miles) and at Billingshurst with its mainline station to London Victoria (65 minutes) via Gatwick. For further comprehensive shopping facilities, Guildford lies 16 miles to the north and Horsham 9 miles to the east both offering a wide range of high street shops, leisure and cultural amenities.

There is an excellent range of schools in the area both state and private such as Pennthorpe in Rudgwick, Farlington near Horsham, Cranleigh School and The Weald at Billingshurst. The A272 to the south is an excellent artery running east/west providing access to the A24 and A29 north/south links with the A3 and M25 further afield.
