Description

Nestled just outside Wisborough Green, Guildenhurst Manor is a stunning country house full of charm and character. Sympathetically restored by our clients during their ownership, the house strikes a perfect balance between traditional elegance and modern living, making it ideal for both entertaining and comfortable everyday life.

The principal rooms all offer superb views over the expansive gardens and grounds. Upon entering, there is a welcoming grand entrance hall leading to the magnificent Great Hall, a striking double-height oak-framed space that opens up to the first-floor landing. For further entertaining options, a spacious 38-foot reception room offers views of the landscaped lawns, while the sitting room, which adjoins the reception room, can be seamlessly opened up with large double doors depending on the occasion. The kitchen is one of the property's standout features, with oak flooring, a central Aga, and ample space for a dining area that overlooks the gardens. Nearby, you'll find a large utility room and pantry. To the east of the house, a private and inviting study provides a quiet retreat.

Upstairs, the accommodation comprises five spacious bedrooms, including a principal suite with an ensuite bathroom and a separate dressing room. The other four bedrooms are generously sized, with one featuring an ensuite, and a standalone bathroom serving the others. Additionally, the property offers superb ancillary accommodations, including a separate one-bedroom cottage. A large barn and the separate Garden House, which houses a large gym and wellness studio, as well as a kitchen/sitting room and bedroom, provide versatile space for a range of lifestyles.

The beautifully designed gardens and grounds are a particular highlight, having been thoughtfully created by the current owners.

These include irrigated formal gardens, tree-lined avenues, outdoor lighting, and a vegetable garden. Beyond the more cultivated areas, there is woodland leading to access to the River Arun, offering excellent kayaking opportunities.

The property also boasts a refurbished swimming pool area, a tennis court, and a total of 17 acres, perfect for outdoor activities and leisure.
