Description

***** SOLD OFF-MARKET *****
A truly outstanding detached house of impressive Sussex style period character within landscaped gardens adjacent to scenic downland countryside.


Constructed to an impressive bespoke specification and substantially and tastefully improved particularly within recent years this magnificent house is enhanced by fine original features including high quality oak joinery throughout most of the accommodation including handsome oak floors and oak beamed ceilings. The accommodation is flooded with natural daylight from oak framed and double glazed windows. The large detached double garage with its cavity wall construction and roof height offers potential for conversion to provide a granny annexe if other accommodation is required. Only an internal inspection will convey the outstanding merit of this fine property.

Rest Harrow is delightfully tucked away on the edge of the South Downs National Park within the exclusive private Ratton Estate, which was the home of Lord Willingdon, Viceroy of India. Willingdon Golf Course is nearby and Eastbourne town centre is only about 3 miles distant with its new Beacon shopping centre, theatres and mainline rail services to London Victoria and to Gatwick. Sporting facilities in the area include one of the largest sailing marinas on the south coast and the adjacent downland offers wonderful recreational opportunity. There is world class opera at nearby Glyndebourne and there are Channel ferries from Newhaven.

About us

Regardless of good or bad market conditions Rager & Roberts have been at the forefront of the local market in Eastbourne and the nearby villages for almost three decades and, according to Rightmove's own independent survey, we consistently agree more sales above £300,000 than any other local agent.  The prominent town centre offices in Cornfield Road, together with the Old Town office in Green Street, provide efficient marketing as well as an extremely high standard of service to vendors and purchasers alike.  Our high profile marketing presence in Alfriston enhances coverage of the Downland Villages and our computer networked offices enable the staff to operate efficiently and as a team.

Recommendations from our clients and the local professional community guarantees a wide ranging and ever changing selection of properties which attract buyers from all over the country and abroad.  Over the years we have avoided the distraction of commercial property sales, lettings and the sale of mortgages.  The latter might be remunerative but we have not, and will not,  accept an introduction fee from a mortgage provider and this guarantees that the advice we give to our clients is totally in their best interest and not prejudiced by the prospect of an additional fee.
