Attractive and beautifully converted former coach house next to the Fox & Hounds pub currently used as offices with potential to make into a 2 bedroom cottage subject to a change in planning use.

The building is believed to date from 1835 and was converted into an office building around 1990 and has been used as offices for a marketing company ever since.

The original conversion was carried out by Celltarga Ltd to a very high standard using quality oak joinery throughout with beautiful doors and door frames of modern oak timbers and on the first floor the oak timbered ceiling was left exposed to create rather impressive rooms.

The present owners are making enquiries with Mid Sussex District Council for alternative use to residential however the property does make a wonderful set of offices or would make a private therapy centre/retail outlet.  Bear in mind, that there would be a limited amount of parking (2/3 cars) and the pub car park is limited to customers only via a registration recognition system.

There is great potential to create a shower from the 1st floor cloakroom. There is a worktop with a sink in one of the ground floor offices which would make a great kitchen breakfast room and offers potential to open up the end wall with doors out to the small west facing side garden.

We are told by our financial advisors that a residential mortgage should be possible to obtain as most banks will insist on the need for food preparation areas and washing facilities which does not necessarily mean a shower room.   

A public footpath cuts between the pub car park and the new housing estate across the front of the property where there is an additional area of front garden, which could be sacrificed for additional parking for a few cars.

There is a small single storey lean-to extension on the eastern end of the building which is owned by the pub for storage.

All mains facilities including drainage, gas, water and electricity are in place.

The property is situated in the north/west corner of the Fox and Hounds pub car park adjoining the pub garden on the town's extreme southern outskirts close to countryside. A bus service runs along the B2112 (Foxhill) linking with the town centre, Warden Park Secondary Academy school in neighbouring Cuckfield and The villages & Brighton to the south. The Chailey School bus also picks up close by. There is hope for a new primary school to be built off Hurstwood Lane in the next few years which, in the agents opinion ,will really give the Fox Hill area even more desirability as there is quite a lot of residential development going on in this part of town. The town centre is just over a mile to the north where there is an extensive range of shops, stores, restaurants, cafés and bars. Open countryside is close by and the town has several parks and a state of the art leisure centre. By road the B2112 and A272 town relief road gives swift vehicular access to the neighbouring districts and out to the A23 at Bolney or Warninglid.
