Horton Farmhouse comprises a handsome Grade II Listed detached house with appealing traditional elevations of part flint with brick dressings to the front principal elevation with mansard clay tiled roof and with a catslide to the rear roof slope encompassing sections of Horsham stone over the older part of the house which is believed to be of 17th C. or earlier origin and with the later front wing having been added in the 19th C.

Owned by the vendor's family for in excess of 40 years, the house offers well-proportioned and good size accommodation spread over three floors, plus cellar, and now offers the opportunity for an incoming purchaser to further modernise, refurbish and improve to their own requirements. Particular features of the character accommodation include good size ground floor accommodation with the principal and South facing two reception rooms with French doors to the garden and fireplace with wood burning stove to the living room plus fine inglenook fireplace to the atmospheric beamed dining room with part split level wood parquet floor. This connects with the entrance hall which in turn leads to the cloakroom and utility area thence linking back to the beamed kitchen/breakfast room with its range of fitted units and with doors to one side from the rear hall to the garden. The cellar is a generous size with modern gas fired boiler.

To the first floor are two very good size and South facing double bedrooms in the later 19th C. addition and with low level doorway leading from the main landing to the older part of the house to two further bedrooms with part exposed beams to part, a family bathroom with modern suite and a separate shower room also with a modern suite. From the main landing, a staircase leads to two second floor bedrooms equally offering good scope for use as study/studio space or a playroom and with the West facing room enjoying far distant views over nearby countryside to the South Downs in the distance and with the second room enjoying a view to the adjacent South Downs.

Outside, a private driveway leads from the Henfield Road and thence to a range of part timber, part tile and Perspex roof car ports and stores which are in need of renovation, or with potential for replacement subject to all necessary consents and abutting the flint and brick boundary walls. Further storage area and thence leading to the garden with conservatory attached to the West side of the house. The South facing garden includes lawn and mixed specimen plants with mature hedge and trees to the boundaries bordering Smugglers Lane and Henfield Road.
