Description
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.
