Guillards Oak, Midhurst, West Sussex, GU29

An elegant period property with a beautifully maintained south-facing garden, ideally situated within walking distance of Midhurst

Garden House forms part of a substantial Victorian residence that was divided into three separate dwellings between 1969 and 1970. This elegant home enjoys a desirable southerly aspect and retains a wealth of period features, including generous proportions, high ceilings, ornate cornicing, and traditional sash windows.

All reception rooms are well-sized and benefit from large windows that provide delightful views over the garden. The drawing room features a charming fireplace and two sets of glazed doors opening onto the south-facing terrace. A spacious and light-filled garden room with tiled flooring, underfloor heating, and access to the terrace provides an ideal space for relaxing or entertaining. The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units, along with an integrated electric oven and gas hob. Leading off the kitchen is a generously proportioned dining room—currently used as a playroom—which also opens directly onto the terrace via glazed doors. On the ground floor, there is a shower room which could also serve as a utility space.

Stairs rise from the hallway, which includes built-in bookcases, to a spacious landing with a study area. The main bedroom enjoys views over the garden through large sash windows and features built-in wardrobes. The guest bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room and fitted storage, while a third single bedroom and a family bathroom complete the upper floor. There is potential to convert the loft, subject to the usual planning consents.

To the front, the property offers off-street parking for two vehicles and a single garage. The façade is beautifully adorned with climbing rose and jasmine, and the mature garden is well-stocked with an array of established plants, shrubs, and flower beds.

Location

Garden House is located on the edge of Midhurst, yet remains within walking distance of the town centre. Midhurst offers a comprehensive range of amenities, including two supermarkets, a hotel, The Grange leisure centre, a primary school, and Midhurst Rother College.

Further afield, the town of Guildford and the cathedral city of Chichester—both home to renowned theatres—provide a broader selection of shopping, cultural, and leisure facilities. The nearby A3 offers convenient access to London, the national motorway network, and major airports including Gatwick, Heathrow, and Southampton. The area boasts excellent recreational opportunities, with polo at Cowdray Park, horse racing at Goodwood and Fontwell, golf courses in Cowdray Park, Pulborough, and Liphook, and sailing from Chichester Harbour and other South Coast locations. There are also extensive walking and riding routes via local footpaths, bridleways, and the nearby South Downs.
