We have fallen in love with Chates and we’re certain that you will too. Chates is a gorgeous detached family home, nestled within beautifully landscaped gardens in a desirable rural yet accessible location. This impressive home offers superb family accommodation with modern features, including newly installed radiators throughout.

The ground floor features a well-equipped kitchen, complete with an Aga, a Bosch stainless steel electric oven and hob, an integrated Miele dishwasher, and a larder cupboard. The kitchen enjoys picturesque views across the fields and includes recessed spotlights, tiled flooring, and a utility room. The dining room features wood flooring, fitted shelving, a walk-in cupboard, and charming garden views. Adjacent to the dining room is a snug/family room, where a wood-burning stove creates a cozy atmosphere.

The magnificent, triple-aspect living room is a highlight of the home, featuring an open fireplace with a timber surround and marble hearth, complemented by five sets of French doors leading to the terrace and offering breathtaking views over the gardens. The study area, accessible from the inner hall, provides a functional workspace with additional access to a small cellar area. A cloakroom, fitted with a modern vanity unit, low-level WC, and tiled floor, completes the ground floor accommodation.

Upstairs, the first floor offers four generously sized bedrooms, all with countryside views. The principal bedroom enjoys a dual aspect, providing views over the gardens, while bedroom two also features dual aspect windows and garden vistas, along with a built-in wardrobe. Bedroom three includes a built-in wardrobe and scenic window views, and bedroom four is complemented by a decorative fireplace and peaceful views over adjoining fields.

This floor also boasts a modern shower room with a large walk-in shower, deluge shower head, and hand shower, along with a period-style radiator, tiled flooring, and part-tiled walls. Additionally, there is a family bathroom with a white suite, including a panelled bath, low-level WC, pedestal wash hand basin, skylight, and extractor fan. A built-in linen cupboard and two sets of double storage cupboards on the landing offer ample storage.

Outside, a gravelled driveway leads to the garage, providing parking for multiple vehicles. The well-maintained gardens are a true feature of this property, complete with a charming stream running through the centre. Surrounded by scenic countryside walks and conveniently located near the village of Henfield, this stunning home is ideal for those seeking both tranquility and accessibility.

The property is accessed via a gravelled driveway with a turning area, offering ample parking for several cars. This leads to a spacious timber-framed garage, equipped with an electric car charging point, electric light, and power supply, as well as roof storage. The garage also features a personal side door and double vehicular doors at the rear.

Behind the garage is a paved courtyard, with a gate providing access to the side of the property. Adjacent to the sitting room is a raised sun terrace, perfect for al fresco dining, complete with an awning and steps that lead down to expansive lawns and beautiful, tranquil gardens. A picturesque stream meanders through the centre of the gardens, enhancing the peaceful ambiance. The gardens are graced with mature shrubs and trees, including Willow, Oak, and Rhododendron which provide screening and privacy from the neighbouring property.

For added convenience, the gardens have been enclosed with electric dog-proof fencing. The grounds extend along the course of the stream towards the north, encompassing approximately 1 acre in total.

An internal inspection of Chates is highly recommended to fully appreciate the beauty and character of this exceptional family home.

Location Summary

Chates is located off Stone Pit Lane, a quiet, no-through country lane branching off West End Lane, in a highly sought-after rural area approximately 1.5 miles west of Henfield's High Street. The High Street offers a variety of local shops, services, and businesses, while Henfield itself is a thriving village with a strong sense of community and numerous events held throughout the year. The village also provides excellent amenities, including a health and sports centre, library, school, and churches of various denominations.

These include the Downs Link, a former railway line now transformed into a stunning 36-mile footpath and bridleway that connects the North Downs Way in Surrey with the South Downs Way near Steyning. Additionally, Hassocks is located approximately 7 miles to the east, offering a mainline railway station with services to London Victoria and Gatwick.
