Comprising a substantial section of a former country house, the property boasts versatile and spacious accommodation. Many of the building’s character features have been retained including high ceilings, picture rails, ornate fireplaces, and a portion of the original staircase and entrance hall.

On the ground floor, the welcoming reception hall leads through to the impressive 25ft drawing room with open fireplace and bay window providing plenty of natural light.

The three further double bedrooms all feature vanity sink units and enjoy countryside views. The family bathroom comprises a modern white bathroom suite and wooden floor.

Middle House also benefits from extensive loft space, accessed by a pull-down ladder, comprising two loft rooms (one with a window) which provides ample storage; and an Electric Vehicle charging point to the front of the property.

Middle House enjoys a convenient semi-rural location on the outskirts of Handcross with its village shops, two pubs and a local primary school. For a more comprehensive range of recreational and shopping facilities, Haywards Heath, Horsham and Brighton are all easily accessible.

Sports enthusiasts can enjoy Golf at nearby Mannings Heath, horse racing at Lingfield, Brighton and Goodwood and sailing at Chichester. The surrounding countryside offers ample opportunities for walking, with Ardingly Reservoir, Nymans and Wakehurst Place of particular note.

Balcombe, Horsham and Haywards Heath have mainline stations with direct services to both London and Brighton (about 50 and 25 minutes respectively) and there are excellent links to the motorway network via the M23. Gatwick Airport is also within easy reach being about 9 miles’ distance.

There are also a number of excellent schools nearby, including Handcross Park, Cottesmore, Brighton College, Ardingly College, Hurstpierpoint and Burgess Hill School for Girls.

Middle House is approached via a shared driveway which provides private parking immediately adjacent to the property, together with a separate detached double garage. The grounds to the front are owned by Middle House and bounded by Rhododendrons; providing magnificent colour when in bloom. Mature specimen trees include impressive Sequoia, Chestnut and Beech.

The private rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with flower and shrub borders, mature trees and a Yew hedge to the rear boundary. A paved terrace adjacent to the property provides the perfect location for outside entertaining and enjoying views across the garden and surrounding fields.
