5 Bedroom Detached House, Ash Lane, Rustington, BN16

This quintessentially English flint-fronted Grade II listed home offers an abundance of space, having been extended and renovated throughout to exacting standards. Perfectly blending heritage charm with modern-day living, the property now offers five bedrooms, four bathrooms, four reception rooms and its own detached annexe.

Situated in the heart of Rustington village, you will find an array of shops, eateries, pubs and a large Waitrose all within easy reach. Chichester Cathedral, the renowned Goodwood Estate, the historic castle in Arundel, and the fashionable lanes of Brighton and Hove are all within a 30-minute drive. Angmering mainline railway station is also a short distance away, providing direct links to London Victoria in approximately 90 minutes.

The main house has been meticulously renovated, with the open-plan kitchen/breakfast room forming the heart of the home. The kitchen, with its bespoke timeless shaker-style cabinetry, creates a wonderfully inviting space to entertain, featuring an array of fitted appliances and a striking breakfast island.

This space flows effortlessly into the impressive dining area, which features a glass-covered well, picture windows into the kitchen, and is bathed in natural light thanks to three large sky lanterns and bi-folding doors leading to a private terrace, ideal for al fresco dining. Adjacent to the dining room is a practical cloakroom and utility room complete with its own dog shower.

To the front of the property is a large study, which could easily be utilised as a ground-floor bedroom. The triple-aspect living room is both light and inviting, centred around a striking brick fireplace. Completing the ground floor is a boot room with access to the driveway.

Upstairs, there are three well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal suite is particularly noteworthy, featuring built-in wardrobes and its own luxurious en-suite bathroom. The family bathroom can be accessed from the landing and has been tastefully designed with a roll-top bath.

Set within the grounds is a detached two-bedroom annexe with its own private garden. Both bedrooms enjoy pleasant views across the garden and benefit from en-suite bathrooms. The open-plan kitchen/living/dining room provides a fantastic space for guests to entertain, with sliding doors leading out to the garden.

The annexe is a perfect addition for anyone seeking additional income potential through Airbnb, or it would equally suit an independent relative or teenager wanting their own space.

The gardens are extraordinary, wrapping around the entirety of the property and providing complete seclusion. There are many different areas to enjoy, including a vegetable garden, greenhouses, outbuildings, pergola seating areas and a large terrace. The garden is truly enchanting.

To the front of the property, there is ample parking space for several vehicles.
