Lower Street, Fittleworth, West Sussex, RH20

Upon entering the main house, one is taken by the wonderful feeling of space and light in the entrance and dining hall with its vaulted ceiling, the scene of many a celebration over the years. What is also apparent is the excellent flow of accommodation from here, the drawing room beyond, into the kitchen/breakfast room with its adjoining family room, and the sitting room beyond. All reception rooms benefit from doors directly onto the surrounding terraces/grounds which, given Street Farm's elevation enjoy the full sun from east to west throughout the year.

Across the principal house there are five bedrooms in all, the majority of which are well-proportioned and include plentiful storage space. The principal bedroom is a light and bright room above the gallery of the barn, and benefits from a walk-in wardrobe and separate WC from its bathroom en suite. Of note, Street Farm is well-equipped functionally for a family, providing an abundance of storage space and versatile accommodation.

The property benefits from a significant number of outbuildings, which include The Coach House, with two bedroom suites, a reception room (and a rear terrace with the gardens beyond directly accessible), and kitchen, together with adjoining stores and a garage. Further is The Cottage, with gym, games room, shower and utility; this building is a well-located amenity in being adjacent to the tennis court and swimming pool areas. There is also a large stable block as described and an office just off the sitting room in the main house.

The property is entered directly from Lower Street via electric gates whereupon the drive splits, either winding up to the house with plentiful parking outside the main house, or eastwards up to the equestrian facilities. The grounds are teaming with interest, from the wonderfully flat lawns, mature borders and hedging with wisteria on the south side of the house, to the paddocks, an astro-turf tennis court, swimming pool, numerous sun terraces, extensive vegetable garden with fruit, and plentiful outbuildings make Street Farm in all an outstanding family home.
