Approached through a private gated driveway lined with traditional lampposts and generous parking, including a triple garage with boarded loft space and separate timer framed car port, this home immediately conveys a sense of privacy, scale and distinction. Its unique horseshoe-shaped design wraps elegantly around the gardens, creating a home that combines period character with versatile comforts.
The reception hall sets the tone with solid oak doors and leaded windows drawing in natural light. A choice of living spaces makes the property ideal for both everyday life and entertaining. The snug, once a library, offers garden views and a warm, intimate feel, while the principal living room opens directly onto the terrace, overlooking the pool and grounds. A striking stone fireplace provides an inviting focal point. The formal dining room benefits from dual aspect windows and connects directly to the Paula Rose kitchen. This well-appointed space is both practical and impressive, with solid wood cabinetry, a large bespoke island, Gaggenau appliances and extensive preparation and storage areas, complemented by adjoining utility rooms.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom suite enjoys serene garden views, fitted wardrobes and a private en suite. Further bedrooms are arranged to suit family and guest accommodation, including one currently configured as a dressing room and another as a study with countryside views. Two additional family bathrooms, finished in neutral tones, provide convenience and flexibility.
Adjoining the main residence, the self-contained annexe offers significant flexibility. With its own entrance and boot room lobby, it provides a spacious lounge, fitted kitchen, two double bedrooms and a family bathroom, making it perfectly suited for multi-generational living, guests or as an attractive rental or Airbnb opportunity.
The grounds extend to approximately two and a half acres and are a defining feature of the property. Expansive lawns, a productive orchard, vegetable beds and greenhouses combine to create a setting that is both impressive and functional. At the heart of the gardens lies a heated 25-metre swimming pool with summer house, designed for leisure and entertaining. Beyond, woodland pathways open to uninterrupted views of the South Downs, enhancing the sense of seclusion and natural beauty.
