A substantial, modern farmhouse set within just under 3 acres of gardens and paddocks located on the Surrey/West Sussex border.
A wonderful example of a modern, energy efficient farmhouse, Oakdale House was built in 2004, fully in keeping with the surrounding countryside. The property benefits from plentiful spacious rooms, excellent ceiling heights and flexible accommodation. The layout is well considered, with a sensible arrangement of family accommodation on the ground floor, which can be flexible to create an annexe. The large windows throughout the property allow all the rooms to be flooded with natural light throughout the day. Of note is the stunning kitchen/breakfast room with beautiful granite worktops, a central island and an adjoining room, perfect for entertaining, which includes a bar with double doors leading directly onto the secluded courtyard and barbeque area. The impressive drawing and dining rooms, located on the south side of the property, benefit from a central log-burning stove and two pairs of French doors leading out on to the terrace and the south-facing garden.Upstairs are 6 bedrooms, starting with the principal suite on the second floor, which benefits from an en suite bathroom and dressing room, and views across the surrounding fields. On the first floor, there are a further five double bedrooms, two of which are en suite (with one accessed from the landing as well). Oakdale House is a substantial family home occupying an outstanding rural setting close to the highly sought-after village of Chiddingfold.Chiddingfold is a highly desirable village boasting a good range of shops, including a post office, general stores, coffee shop, chemist and traditional butcher.
