LOT 1 Dykes comprises a handsome and beautifully situated detached family house occupying a very sought after semi-rural location being within convenient walking distance of the village and facilities and lying on the secluded edge of Henfield Common. The Grade II Listed house (LOT 1) is believed to be of 17th century or earlier origin and includes mellow external elevations of brick and part tile hanging under a clay tiled. The principal rooms are South facing and overlook the delightful, landscaped gardens and grounds extending overall to in excess of 1 acre.

Approached by means of an initially shared but gated private entrance drive from Henfield Common North, a spur off the drive leads into a private driveway at the rear of the house with good parking and turning space adjacent to the part oak framed three bay garage with side gym and store and externally accessed first floor studio room with shower to one end. Within the gardens with their abundance of mixed specimen herbaceous plants, shrubs and trees is a South facing studio summer house providing a lovely working environment or area of peaceful contemplation overlooking the garden and adjoining mature broadleaf woodland.

The well-presented family accommodation is accessed by a good size reception hall with quarry floor tiling and pretty fireplace and thence leading through to the smart fitted kitchen/breakfast/dining room with Aga, fireplace with woodburning stove, wood floor and connecting to the garden room overlooking the garden and also linking to the utility room at the rear of the house. From the dining area there is a bay window and French door out to the garden and which is replicated in the main living room also with fireplace and woodburning stove, exposed beams and library area to one end. This in turn creates a circular return via a study and cloakroom to the reception hall and to the inner hall from which a staircase rises to the first-floor landing.

There are three South facing double bedrooms with a mixture of exposed timbers and original features with the principal bedroom including an en-suite shower room and through dressing room. To the rear of the house and a later addition is a guest double bedroom with en-suite and the family bathroom with separate shower.
