Steyning

Springwells House is a very handsome and substantial Grade II* Listed house which has historically been run as a boutique guesthouse with flexible owner accommodation and is arguably one of Steyning’s finest Listed large family houses. The property occupies a prominent and prime location at the heart of the old market town, nestling at the edge of the South Downs National Park with its miles of wonderful walking, mountain bike riding and recreational opportunities.

The historic building is believed to be largely of Georgian origin with earlier roots and later additions and alterations including in Victorian and later periods. Within recent years, the property has been renovated and improved by the current owners as a wonderful home and boutique guest house and having been run by previous owners as a mixture of tea rooms, guest house and a small hotel, as well as a private house.

The extensive accommodation includes rooms of character and good proportions spread over three floors as shown on the appended floor plans and amounting overall to in excess of 5,700sqft. This includes well-proportioned ground floor reception space, with the first floor including six-bedroom suites each with modern bath or shower rooms and with bedroom six being separately accessed via its own external staircase and entrance providing good letting options. The second floor accommodation offers scope for occupation as a potential self-contained three ensuite bedroom apartment with sitting room and potential kitchen.

Lying to the edge of the High Street, with off-street parking for several vehicles to one side of the building, there is a small area of open front garden.

To the rear of the historic building is a lovely private garden with terracing leading to steps and paths winding through to the largely hidden and principally South facing and part walled garden which includes different compartments planted with an abundance of mature specimen trees, colourful shrubs, herbaceous plants and climbers and with areas of terracing, decking (including table tennis area) and lawn. To one side is a swimming pool and a separate summer house, greenhouse and garden outhouses.

Rateable value as B&B/Guesthouse £11,750 (as at 1/4/23 and with Small Business Rates Relief as at 1/4/25) and Council Tax Band ‘B’ to part.
