Grade II listed country home period estate
The stunning gardens, which have been redesigned by landscape designer John Brookes, blend formal and informal planting to create a variety of distinct spaces. The south garden, bordered by a brick wall and espaliered hornbeam trees, features a sunken garden with a globe water feature. There is an original croquet lawn, formal terrace, and tranquil pond with a fountain flowing through yew hedges into wildflower meadows. Additional lawns, woodlands, a walled kitchen garden, and terraces offer plenty of space for outdoor entertainment. In a secluded corner, shielded by a clipped yew hedge and brick wall, lies a newly built heated swimming pool with a wide stone terrace and pool house.
A magnificent and expansive home that has been meticulously restored through an extensive renovation. This historic property, with its Queen Anne, Georgian, and Edwardian influences, is featured in the Pevsner Architectural Guides: Buildings of England. A perfect blend of original and contemporary comforts, it offers a truly exceptional living space. The house is set within beautifully landscaped gardens, and many rooms boast uninterrupted, south-facing views across the rolling hills of the South Downs National Park.
Approached via a tree-lined gravel drive, the stately entrance leads into a grand reception hall, complete with original parquet flooring and a sweeping staircase.
The dining room is a striking space, fully wood-panelled with a dramatic stone open fireplace.
