Outside
Occupying a wonderfully private and secluded position within the heart of the South Downs National Park, the property is approached via a quiet private no through road and enjoys an enviable setting within its own extensive grounds. Thoughtfully positioned within the landscape, the house sits comfortably amidst a charming blend of formal gardens, paddock and mature coppice woodland, creating a rare sense of peace and connection with the surrounding countryside.
The grounds extend to approximately 11.3 acres in total, comprising just under 9 acres of former chestnut coppiced woodland, situated opposite the side of the property and a further 2.3 acres of gardens, paddock and woodland immediately surrounding the house.
The woodland provides an attractive natural backdrop and offers superb opportunities for walking, exploration and wildlife observation. The formal gardens lie predominantly to the front of the house, where areas of lawn are interspersed with mature trees, established borders and seasonal planting, creating an attractive setting throughout the year. To both the front and rear, generous terraces provide ideal spaces for outdoor entertaining and al fresco dining while enjoying views across the gardens and surrounding landscape.
To the rear, the property benefits from a delightful westerly aspect, with a paddock or field area leading up to an additional area of coppice woodland directly behind, with a spectacular viewing area at the top of the hill. The combination of open pasture, mature planting and woodland creates a wonderfully varied environment, offering both privacy and picturesque outlooks in equal measure. Altogether, the gardens and grounds provide an exceptional setting, perfectly complementing the property's tranquil rural position and enhancing its appeal as a quintessential South Downs country home.
