Silverwood Copse, West Chiltington, Pulborough, West Sussex, RH20

DESCRIPTION
This attractive post-war detached bungalow presents an excellent opportunity to acquire a well-proportioned and thoughtfully arranged home, occupying a private position within a desirable residential setting. The property combines spacious and versatile accommodation with mature gardens, excellent storage and useful ancillary buildings, including a detached office and substantial double garage. The current owners have enjoyed the property for approximately 12 years, during which time the home has been well maintained and thoughtfully cared for. A replacement boiler, installed approximately four years ago, further complements the property.

The development is located in a quiet part of West Chiltington Common, surrounded by other residential roads and countryside. The postcode RH20 2NQ has been in use since 1986, and the area is characterised by detached, owner-occupied properties in a rural
village setting.

A bright and welcoming entrance hall provides an impressive introduction to the property, extending through the centre of the home and creating a wonderful sense of space and flow. A useful storage cupboard immediately off the entrance hall provides excellent space for coats, shoes and household essentials.
Double doors open into a generous reception room, centred around an electric fireplace and offering an attractive principal entertaining space. Sliding doors lead seamlessly through to a delightful rear extension, which provides further versatile living accommodation and benefits from gas central heating. A door from this room opens directly onto the rear garden, making this an ideal space for enjoying the gardens throughout the year.
Positioned between the reception room and kitchen is a formal dining room, enjoying a pleasant outlook over the mature rear garden. This well-proportioned room provides an elegant setting for both everyday dining and entertaining.
The kitchen is well equipped with a range of fitted appliances, including a Bosch double oven and hob, together with a larder cupboard, sink overlooking the rear garden and a door providing direct access outside. There is also space for a dishwasher and fridge freezer. The kitchen is finished in a neutral palette of greys and cream, complemented by a subtly speckled work surface and attractive grey and white stone-effect laminate flooring.
The substantial utility room is another particularly useful feature of the property. Fitted with numerous integrated wooden cupboards, it provides extensive storage together with space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, as well as a sink. A door leads directly onto the side garden, offering an extremely practical arrangement for laundry and outdoor living. A further fitted cupboard provides useful storage for boots and shoes, while the room would also be ideally suited to those with dogs, providing a practical area for dealing with muddy paws and wet coats after countryside walks.

OUTSIDE
To the rear, the property enjoys a mature and wonderfully private garden, providing a peaceful and established setting. The garden is predominantly laid to lawn and framed by mature planting, shrubs and well-stocked flower beds, with a pathway extending around the lawn and through the gardens. Of particular note is the impressive collection of approximately 43 camellias, creating a beautiful display and reflecting the maturity and care that has gone into the garden over the years. The property benefits from gated side access to both sides, providing excellent practicality and ease of access between the front and rear gardens.

A detached outbuilding within the rear garden is currently utilised as a home office and benefits from electricity, making it an ideal space for those working from home, pursuing hobbies or requiring additional accommodation for a variety of uses.

To the front of the property is a substantial double garage, also benefiting from electricity, two electric doors, pedestrian side access and an additional door leading to the side of the property. The garage also provides a useful loft storage area with ladder access, together with double-aspect windows. The fuse board is located within the garage. The combination of the detached office, large double garage, extensive storage and gated side access provides an exceptional level of ancillary space.
