Description

Aldwick Court is a substantial and imposing house that displays the proportions and presence typical of a traditional country residence, with well-balanced accommodation arranged over three principal floors. The layout is both elegant and highly practical, lending itself equally well to family living and entertaining on a larger scale.

The welcoming reception hall forms a natural focal point to the house and establishes an immediate sense of scale. The principal reception rooms are particularly well-proportioned, with the drawing room standing out as an impressive space, featuring a wide bay window that draws in excellent natural light and enjoys views over the gardens.

The dining room is ideally positioned for formal entertaining and the sitting room enjoys a double aspect. The kitchen and adjoining utility areas form the functional heart of the house, offering scope for modernisation and reconfiguration to suit contemporary living.

There is access to the extensive cellars that provide a series of large storerooms together with a wine cellar. This generous space offers considerable flexibility for a variety of uses, including further leisure accommodation, subject to the necessary consents.

The bedroom accommodation is arranged across the upper floors and provides a highly flexible arrangement. The principal suite includes a dressing room and enjoys attractive and extensive views over the grounds and surrounding countryside.

A further eight bedrooms are arranged across the first and second floors, supported by bathroom facilities, making the house well suited to larger families, multi-generational living or guest accommodation.

The lodge lies within the grounds of Lot 1 and provides attractive secondary accommodation, ideally suited for staff, guest use or ancillary occupation.

Positioned to enjoy a degree of independence from the principal house, the lodge complements the main residence and enhances the overall functionality of the estate. It offers flexibility, whether for longer-term occupation or occasional use.

Aldwick Court benefits from an extensive range of traditional outbuildings which are close to the house.

Arranged as a series of stores, stables and workshops, they provide excellent practical support to the main house and offer scope for a range of alternative uses. Subject to obtaining the requisite consents, there may be potential for conversion into further accommodation, leisure facilities or home working space.

At the bottom of the drive close to the lodge is a yard which includes a series of further outbuildings. These have been used for agricultural purposes.

The gardens and grounds form an integral part of Aldwick Court’s appeal, extending in total to approximately 54.84 acres within Lot 1.

The house sits comfortably within its land, approached via a driveway and enjoying a sense of privacy created by its surrounding gardens and paddocks.

The immediate gardens are laid predominantly to lawn, interspersed with mature trees and established planting, providing a classic and highly attractive setting. The lower terrace houses an outdoor swimming pool. There is a natural connection between the house and its outdoor spaces, with ample scope for formal terraces and areas for entertaining.
Beyond the gardens, the land extends to pasture and wooded areas, a walled garden and a folly, offering excellent amenity value and potential for equestrian or lifestyle use. The overall setting is peaceful and picturesque, with the surrounding land acting as a natural buffer to enhance privacy.
