This Fairytale Sussex Farmhouse Has Just Hit The Market 

There’s nothing like a home with a bit of rural charm, and this Sussex farmhouse delivers in spades. Expect period features, a spectacular garden, and plenty of cottagecore design inspiration…

Look Inside… A Grade II Listed Farmhouse In Haywards Heath

Tucked away on a private line in Staplefield, West Sussex, is a sprawling property which bears the name of Dillions – and it just might be the most picture-perfect farmhouse on the market. 

While the Grade II listed home is certainly brimming with history, it’s been expertly renovated and even redecorated by a local interior designer, now providing nearly 4,000 square feet of luxurious living space.

Stepping inside, you’ll spot a handsome drawing room, a formal living room and a cosy snug. Perhaps the most breathtaking space, however, is the hand-built Martin Moore kitchen/breakfast room, which boasts stone floors, ceiling beams, and French doors leading out to the garden. (The ground floor is also complete with two country staples: a boot room and a cloak room.)

Upstairs, there are five guest bedrooms, a large family bathroom and a rather elegant principal suite, which boasts a walk-in wardrobe, a separate dressing area, and its own bathroom. But that’s not all: just next door to the main house is a spacious annexe containing two bedrooms, one bathroom and an open plan kitchen/living room fitted with a wood burning stove.

If you’re just about ready to up sticks and move in, there’s even more to explore – 3.25 acres, to be exact. On one side of the property, you’ll find a garden featuring Cotswold stone paths, colourful flowerbeds, and even an old well. At the rear, there’s a circular pond surrounded by lavender, hydrangeas and roses, while the front section is occupied by a brand new terrace complete with a sunken spa pool. Oh, and the finishing touches? Wildflowers, a vegetable garden and even a treehouse. A farmhouse this dreamy is sure to be snapped up fast (even if it happens to be listed for nearly £3 million)…

Dillions is available through Strutt & Park at a guide price of £2.795 million. For more information, visit struttandparker.com
