Guide price

This immaculately presented town house forms the southern section of a fine period building of Victorian origin and is understood to have been operated as a beer house until the early 20th century known as The Jolly Ploughman. Today the building is divided into two homes in this attractive street scene. Elevations are rendered and painted with replacement double-glazed windows under a hipped and slated roof with a more recent single storey addition to the rear. Over the last decade the present owners have renovated and sympathetically modernised the house to provide the comforts of 21st century living with generous ceiling heights, full central heating with underfloor heating to the ground floor, stylish kitchen and white sanitary fittings, modern wiring and recessed lighting. Outside there is the unusual advantage of off-road parking for two vehicles and a secluded courtyard garden in this town centre setting. Vacant possession – no chain.

This semi-detached town house backs on to the cricket field with the scenic backdrop of the ridge of the South Downs beyond. Charlton Street contains a variety of attractive and individual homes and runs roughly parallel to the High Street of Steyning within the Conservation Area of the town. The property is within a stone's throw of the heart of the town with its good range of individual shops and a Post Office. The cricket field behind gives direct access to wonderful open walking country. Local facilities include tennis courts, a leisure centre with swimming pool and a good variety of clubs and societies.

Steyning is about five miles from the coast at Shoreham-by-Sea, eight miles from Worthing and 12 miles from Brighton. Horsham is about 14 miles to the north and Crawley and Gatwick Airport are normally about 40 minutes' drive.
