Description
Nestled in the West Sussex countryside, this 6-bedroom house is the westerly wing of a 19th-century country estate built in the 1860s by local barrister James Harrison. The property retains many of its original features, including exquisitely detailed external stonework, original tiling, and ornate Arts and Crafts fretwork. The 5,000 sq ft home extends over three storeys, with an additional outbuilding that could be transformed into an annexe. The property is surrounded by 1.6 acres of gardens, close to the High Weald and South Downs Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Despite its rural setting, the house is well-connected, with a nearby rail station providing services to London Bridge in 35 minutes and Gatwick airport a 10-minute drive away. The property has been sympathetically divided over the years and remains unlisted. It has been featured in various design publications and has a rich history, including being used as a home for soldiers during WWI. The property's elegant exterior features arched windows and ornate brickwork, while the interior boasts a grand entrance hall, beautifully preserved original features, and high ceilings. The property also includes a bespoke kitchen and dining area, a drawing room, snug, and four comfortable double bedrooms, as well as a studio and workspace outbuilding with potential to be converted into an annexe.
