The house is a fine, Grade II listed Regency townhouse with rendered walls and slated roof, and windows are traditional timber sash-hung. Sympathetically modernised, the property still retains much of its character and has a delightful, secluded rear garden. The kitchen, with hand-painted units and granite work surfaces with separate utility room, is located on the ground floor and has access onto the rear garden. A double-aspect drawing room on the upper ground floor also has direct access onto the rear garden. The three good-size bedrooms are arranged over two floors and there is both a separate bathroom and shower room. There is gas-fired central heating to radiators.
Jarvis Lane is a pretty, narrow lane of individual homes with limited traffic. This is a prime residential setting within the Conservation Area and enjoying surprising tranquility. Steyning is a small country town in the lee of the South Downs National Park with primary and secondary schools, churches, library, modern health centre and leisure centre with swimming pool. The town is full of historical interest and contains some of the most picturesque shop and domestic buildings in the area. There is a local by-pass which diverts most through traffic and the coastal towns of Worthing and Brighton are eight and 12 miles respectively. Horsham is about 14 miles, and Crawley and Gatwick airport can normally be reached in 40 minutes' drive. The nearest mainline railway station is at Shoreham-by-Sea, five miles.
