Description

Set discreetly along a quiet country lane within one of West Sussex’s most charming villages, this magnificent country mansion offers a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and beautifully crafted home, combining rural seclusion with excellent accessibility to London and the South Coast.

Designed and completed to the owner’s exacting specification, the property is presented to an exceptional standard throughout and sits elegantly within approximately 4.5 acres of level, mature landscaped grounds. Every element of the house has been carefully considered, resulting in a residence of outstanding quality, comfort and sophistication.

Extending to over 13,500 sq. ft. of accommodation, the principal house offers generous and versatile living spaces ideal for both formal entertaining and relaxed family life. The interiors are defined by exquisite porcelain and stone finishes, bespoke cabinetry, and high specification kitchens and bathrooms that reflect the uncompromising attention to detail evident throughout the home.

At the heart of the house is the beautifully appointed rosewood kitchen, complemented by a secondary entertaining kitchen and utility room, perfectly suited for hosting on any scale. The accommodation includes five elegant bedroom suites, two first floor sitting rooms, and a total of five impressive reception rooms, each offering its own character and outlook over the surrounding grounds. Leisure and lifestyle facilities are outstanding, with a dedicated cinema room, media room, and a fully equipped spa complex comprising an indoor swimming pool, steam cabinet, sauna, two showers and WC facilities.

In addition, there is a separate staff bungalow, providing flexible ancillary accommodation, and the property is further enhanced by two substantial three bay garages, symmetrically flanking the house and conveniently accessed from both the library and the utility room.

Gardens & Grounds
Externally, the architectural elegance of the house is perfectly complemented by its mature and beautifully landscaped gardens, creating a setting of exceptional privacy and tranquillity.

Approached via a sweeping carriage driveway, the grounds provide a striking sense of arrival while remaining discreet and entirely secluded.

The gardens have been thoughtfully designed to offer both beauty and functionality, with features including a herb garden, walled garden, ornamental water features, tennis court and summer house. Extensive exterior lighting enhances the grounds after dusk, creating a particularly atmospheric environment for evening enjoyment and entertaining.

A dedicated gardeners’ store/garage, complete with WC and kitchenette, further supports the lifestyle offered by this exceptional estate.

Despite its peaceful and rural setting, the property remains well positioned for both local amenities and national transport connections.
