Oakwood Farm comprises a superb and handsome late 17th/early 18th Century country house occupying a very desirable rural location on the edge of the Knepp Castle Estate and within 3 miles of the small rural village of Shipley and 10.5 miles of the old market town of Horsham. Listed Grade II of special architectural and historical importance, the substantial house includes an interesting and attractive mixture of different elevations of part render, brickwork, part tile hanging and part weatherboarding with timber framed sections to the oldest parts and including exposed timbers and beams to parts. The house offers beautifully proportioned accommodation with above average ceiling heights and with many of the rooms being double aspect and with large sash windows providing plenty of light and wonderful viewpoints over the gardens and grounds and pasture land beyond. Owned by the current owner for in excess of 35 years, the property which had historically been known as Pondtail Farm, has been substantially renovated and improved and encompasses more recent additions to the rear, including the brick and tile former cart lodge byre which creates a very appealing principal reception room and with adjacent integrated, or independently accessed, ground floor annexe.
