2 Bedroom Semi-Detached For Sale in The Plough, Charlton Street, Steyning, West Sussex, BN44 3LU

Summary

This immaculately presented town house forms the southern section of a fine period building of Victorian origin and is understood to have been operated as a beer house until the early 20th century known as The Jolly Ploughman. Today the building is divided into two homes in this attractive street scene. Elevations are rendered and painted with replacement double-glazed windows under a hipped and slated roof with a more recent single storey addition to the rear. Over the last decade the present owners have renovated and sympathetically modernised the house to provide the comforts of 21st century living with generous ceiling heights, full central heating with underfloor heating to the ground floor, stylish kitchen and white sanitary fittings, modern wiring and recessed lighting. Outside there is the unusual advantage of off-road parking for two vehicles and a secluded courtyard garden in this town centre setting. Vacant possession – no chain.
