Description

An exceptional farmhouse set in a stunning, private location, with breath taking views of the South Downs and surrounding countryside.

Upperton House is a beautiful Grade II listed farmhouse with many period features and oozes character throughout. Located in the Hill Ash Farm Estate the property offers fabulous rural views and is available immediately for long term rental. The historic property has spacious, versatile and well-presented accommodation throughout.
The entrance hall, leading to the drawing room, is a beautiful light and airy room, with an open fireplace and overlooks the manicured garden. The study is a versatile room and could serve many purposes. The dining room is an attractive room with exposed beams, a stone slab floor and a stunning inglenook fireplace, incorporating a wood burning stove, and is accessible via the study or a passage way from the drawing room. This leads into the farmhouse style kitchen/breakfast room which also benefits from many of the features on display in the dining room, as well as a range of hand built wooden cabinetry. The kitchen boasts a 4 oven electric Aga, an electric oven with a 2 ring ceramic hob above, American style fridge/freezer and space for a dishwasher. A door leads through to a spacious laundry room, with a second staircase and a door to the sitting room, which could serve as a TV room, office or play room. The downstairs accommodation is completed with a WC and utility room boasting fitted hand-built cabinetry and a ceramic Butler’s sink. There are multiple doors to access the beautiful grounds of the property and a hatch in the kitchen leads to the large and useful cellar.

The first floor can be accessed via two staircases. From the entrance hall the staircase rises to the principal bedroom, offering a dressing room and bathroom with two toilets, bath and a shower cubicle. The other side of the stairs leads into bedroom 5, with an en suite bathroom and a connecting door opening into bedroom 3. The second staircase leads up to a landing which gives access to bedroom 2 with an en suite bathroom and particularly stunning views of the South Downs. The landing also connects to the family shower room and to bedroom 3 and 4. The whole of the first floor is accessible via either stair case.

Outside, the gravel entrance drive at the front of the property provides ample parking. There is also a secondary drive which leads up to a further area for parking, with a double garage to one side. A gate from the drive leads into the main area of the garden with a guest cottage to one side. This enchanting garden is partly walled and the rest enclosed by mature yew hedges and includes areas of lawn on various levels, brick paths and raised beds planted with a variety of plants and shrubs. Beyond the garden is a further area of lawn and a small paddock, from which there are far reaching views.
