South Downs National Park, Myrtle Grove, Patching

Green Pastures is a fine downland home with stunning views and occupying a very desirable, private yet not totally isolated, rural position within 6.5 miles of Worthing and 17 miles of Brighton. The property is very well presented and practically set out with separate drives to the house and the stable yard and with the free draining chalk downland paddocks wrapping around the house with neatly cut hedge borders and fencing and extending overall to approximately 4.66 acres.

Well positioned on the outer edge of Myrtle Grove Farm, the property is perfectly placed for immediate access to the miles of off-road hacking on the surrounding Downs linking to the Angmering Park Estate and South Downs Way; indeed a horse lover’s dream and with the benefit of a five-box stable yard with ancillary stores and sand school at the end.

The extended and improved family house offers bright and airy accommodation with many rooms being double aspect and enjoying a fine outlook to the South Downs, in particular to the South-West. The external mellow elevations of the house include brickwork with part tile hanging under a tiled roof and with double-glazed windows throughout plus LPG central heating. The accommodation is entered from an enclosed entrance porch to a part galleried landing with cloakroom off and thence leading to sitting room with fireplace and a good size double aspect living room with fireplace and wood burning stove, fine outlook and French doors to the garden plus internal doors to the dining room also with French doors to the garden.

The well-equipped farmhouse kitchen/breakfast room includes a range of limed-oak fitted units with Aga, integrated dishwasher, sink and fridge and thence leading through to a useful utility room with second cloakroom off, rear porch with external access to the front and rear and also internal door to the double garage.

To the first floor there are four bedrooms with the principal bedroom including en-suite bathroom and fine double aspect views to the Downs as well as family bathroom and fitted cupboards to each bedroom.

Outside, the house sits in very attractive mature garden with a wealth of mixed colourful herbaceous shrubs and plants with lawned areas and steps to the upper secluded pool garden with mature hedging around and swimming pool building to one end. The pasture land wraps around the house with drive to the lower stable yard including five boxes, tack room and store and gate to the sand school. Gates then lead to the paddocks either side of the house and also with gated access off the lane. The free draining chalk grassland provides all year-round turnout as well as fine downland views from the upper parts.
