River Cottage comprises an attractive detached single storey home backing directly on to the River Arun just a short walk off Horsham's Causeway and the town.

South Facing Rear Garden The rear garden is an absolute delight and it’s hard to believe you are so close to the town. Predominantly laid to lawn, the garden enjoys an enormous degree of privacy and there are large flower beds and numerous interesting areas of planting. A brick edged Indian sandstone pathway leads to steps which rise up to a terrace with balustrade and also with further steps leading down to the lawn and there is an additional rear paved area leading to the raised deck adjacent to the principal bedroom. There are attractive stone edged planting areas, a further timber shed, lovely rhododendrons and other interesting specimens and then finally at the rear most part there is a further metal shed and a gate which leads to a lovely hidden away naturalistic river bank with the river running through. The whole garden benefits from the seclusion that the margin of the river provides and really needs to be seen to be appreciated.
