Platts Green House (also formerly known as Hydehurst Farm) comprises a substantial detached family home including three reception rooms, nine bedrooms and four bath/shower rooms spread over three floors plus a one-bedroom annexe. Understood to have been built in the 1930’s in the Arts & Crafts style, the house offers features reminiscent of the period of design and externally includes leaded light windows to part within oak mullions, a mixture of painted rendered elevations with part exposed timber framing, small areas of tile hanging under a clay tiled, pitched and part hipped roof with substantial brick chimney stacks. The property now offers the opportunity for refurbishment and repair to potentially create an impressive family house with extensive accommodation and combined with renovation of the mature grounds including potential reinstatement of the tennis court and swimming pool and enhancements of the nearby paddock and land. There is a high earth bund/bank and tree planting to the boundary with the A24 (planning consent ref. Wg/34/97).

The Southern part of the land has been subject to the depositing of waste material and for which an Enforcement Enquiry (ref en/19/0300) was raised by Horsham District Council in 2019 for unauthorised operational development and engineering operations, plus level changes. Prospective purchasers should make their own enquiries in relation to this.
An Intrusive Site Investigation report dated 28th July 2024 by Oakshire Environmental following their site visit on 13th July 2024 is available from the Agents and which results show a low to moderate risk from materials deposited on site.
