DESCRIPTION
The East Wing of Lodsworth House is a stunning country home just on the edge of the popular village of Lodsworth with some spectacular views offering one of the most beautiful and highly desirable residences in West Sussex. In recent years the owners have gone to extraordinary lengths to refurbish this elegant property, a wing of one of the finest houses in the area with the most impressive external elevations. The accommodation boasts room sizes and ceiling heights rarely found in West Sussex and the attention to detail in fitting out the property has created a fine period home with many modern comforts.

There are many outstanding features which include a magnificent drawing room with high ceilings and far reaching rural views and which opens into the stunning orangery, overlooking the garden. The kitchen/breakfast room has been designed with simple lines and for ease of use opens into the dining/family room. The first floor includes a superb master bedroom with en suite bath/shower room. There are 2 further bedrooms and a bathroom on this floor and on the second floor there are 2 more bedrooms and a bathroom. The cellars are quite unusual as each has been named and are all capable of being used for storage, wine and perhaps a games room. In addition, the modern features include a hard wired network connecting the whole house and under floor heating in the bathrooms, kitchen, boot room and the Orangery.

The property is approached over its own private entrance drive which leads through a wooded area to the house. The gardens, which are maintained by the owner, offer privacy and seclusion, as well as having the most spectacular views over the neighbouring Sussex countryside and the South Downs beyond. There is a stable block with timber outbuildings and paddocks which are available, if required.
