" Situated in a semi-rural area to the south of Billingshurst, Oakleigh is a distinctive and prominent house with its date of construction clearly displayed as you approach the property. This Victorian house has been sympathetically and thoughtfully extended and renovated by the current owners and now provides a substantial family home with excellent and well-proportioned accommodation over three floors.

On the ground floor the spacious drawing room leads into an orangery, recently constructed in hardwood by Bartholomew's Conservatories, with a limestone floor with underfloor heating and giving a superb outlook across the garden. The drawing room benefits from an open fire and the dining room, which lies alongside, has a provision for an open fire or woodburning stove if desired. There is a well-fitted and attractive kitchen/breakfast room which includes a Rayburn cooking range and granite worktops, with a utility room off. The ground floor is complemented by a spacious family room and cloakroom and a most impressive and beautifully decorated entrance hall with an authentic Victorian tiled floor and attractive wall-panelling beneath the dado rail.

On the first floor there are five bedrooms, the master having a dual aspect and an en suite with walk-in shower. The spacious family bathroom is also beautifully fitted and also includes a walk-in shower with limestone shower tray and a roll-top bath central positioned within the room. From the landing, stairs lead to a second floor loft room which has teak flooring and an en suite cloakroom. The house is attractively decorated throughout and displays fine attention to detail in terms of style and finish.

Outside, there is a good-sized formal area of garden which adjoins the orangery with an area of decking alongside and there is also a small paddock, currently unused and requiring clearing. The property is approached from the road through electric double gates onto a driveway which provides ample parking and turning space, with an oak-framed two-bay car barn with workshop and log store. In total the plot extends to just over one acre and offers a high degree of seclusion and privacy, backing onto an area of light woodland.
