Hunters Moon is a well-proportioned (5,500 sq.ft.) DETACHED 7-8 BEDROOM 1920S RESIDENCE which the present family bought in 1999 when they extended the house and carried out several improvements, although general updating is now required.

The accommodation offers great flexibility and potential and would suit an extended family, those looking for home working space or alternative use subject to the necessary planning consents. The SOUTH WING is approached through a grand RECEPTION HALL and comprises some wonderful LIVING ROOMS and BEDROOMS above, and the NORTH WING was added to create a FIRST FLOOR TWO BEDROOM FLAT and a GROUND FLOOR WING.

THE GROUNDS: The property is approached via a LONG DRIVEWAY from the Old Brighton Road South and electronic gates which lead into a GRAVELLED PARKING AREA which leads around to the front of the house. The BEAUTIFUL AND MATURE GARDENS surround the house and there are GARAGES, LARGE STORAGE SHEDS AND A STUDIO/OFFICE BUILDING, both offering great POTENTIAL FOR CONVERSION INTO SEPARATE DETACHED DWELLINGS (STPP). To the south and east of the house are SEVERAL PADDOCKS AND STABLES.

Services: Mains water and electricity, oil-fired central heating, solar panels and private drainage.

Pease Pottage is an expanding village just off the A23, 2.5 miles south of Crawley, 7 miles south of Gatwick Airport, 6 miles east of Horsham, 9 miles north/west of Haywards Heath and 20 miles north of Brighton.

The village has a good local pub/restaurant, a motorway services with several food outlets and 24-hour petrol station. There is a new development to east side of the A23 which includes a mini supermarket. Handcross Village is 2 miles away which has the local doctor’s and dentist surgery along with a dispensary. The village is well-supported with various businesses including a hairdresser’s and a butcher. Beautiful countryside including St Leonards Forest and Tilgate Forest are close-by interspersed with footpaths and bridleways (a permit can be obtained from South-East Toll rides for some private riding locally).

SCHOOLING: There are two local primary schools, one in Pease Pottage and another in Handcross, children then go onto Warden Park Secondary Academy in Cuckfield. A footbridge from Brighton Road South, near the entrance to the property, leads over the A23 making it possible to walk to Handcross and where children can also catch a bus to Cuckfield (Tilgate Forest stop – www.metrobus.co.uk). There are also bus routes to other secondary schools in Crawley and Horsham. The local area is also well-served by several excellent independent schools including Handcross Park, Cottesmore, Worth Abbey and Ardingly Cottage. Many of the county’s independent schools run a bus service with pick-up points close-by.

Pass the services on your right-hand side and at the next roundabout, turn right and continue over the A23 and turn immediately left opposite the Black Swann pub into Old Brighton Road South and proceed south parallel with the A23 away from the village.
