There is also a fantastic broad oak staircase with ornate balustrades leading to a wonderful first floor galleried landing with library with fitted bookshelves and sitting area.

The formal reception rooms flow well and are very well-proportioned. To the rear, the double aspect sitting room and the dining room both have multiple sets of French doors opening out to the rear terrace and gardens creating the perfect space for entertaining. The wonderful kitchen/breakfast room is also double aspect with French doors opening out to the gardens. The beautifully appointed kitchen includes fitted units, an Aga cooker and fabulous windows with wooden shutters.

The substantial accommodation on the first and second floors provide huge flexibility with numerous bedrooms, or additional reception space if required. There are four good sized bedrooms on the first floor as well as a beautifully appointed bathroom. On the second floor there are three further bedrooms, a bathroom and useful attic storage space.

The house is approached over a driveway leading to the house and garaging. The delightful gardens and grounds are laid to lawn and enjoy stunning views over the South Downs. Adjacent to the main house, the detached double garage has a useful annexe above comprising a living room, bathroom and bedroom.

To the rear of the house there is a large paved terrace, ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining whilst enjoying the fabulous views. The terrace leads on to the delightful lawned gardens which include a multitude of mature trees, shrubs and plants as well as a small pond. The beautiful gardens provide a high degree of privacy and in all the property extends to just under an acre.
