The first floor has 2 large double bedrooms, both with attractive bay windows, and a smaller double bedroom (4), a large landing and shower room with walk-in shower and wc. The ground floor has a sitting room and dining room with bay windows, and a spacious kitchen/breakfast room with larder, lobby, downstairs cloakroom and a rear porch/conservatory. The entrance hall is most attractive with coloured leadlight window and superb stairwell with ornate balustrade and newel post.

The property is well laid back from the road, with outlook immediately to open countryside and to Plumpton church to the front.
Winkfield is attractively located on Station Road in the village centre, opposite Plumpton parish church but also overlooking glorious Sussex countryside.

Plumpton has an excellent village shop, a well regarded primary school and nursery, and a large village hall which is a community hub for many activities. Plumpton is well known for it's racecourse, but also importantly, has it's own Railway Station with connections to Lewes (10 mins), London Victoria (55 mins) and London Bridge (80 mins). The village is very well located, with easy access to Brighton city, and equidistant some 6 miles to Lewes, Burgess Hill and Haywards Heath, all having excellent shopping facilities and a variety of differing attractions.
