A wonderful opportunity to acquire a stunning Grade II Listed period country house, located in an enviable position, within the South Downs National Park, requiring extensive refurbishment.

Full Description

Set within a large plot in an elevated position and surrounded by beautiful countryside, a rare opportunity to purchase a period home (Grade II Listed) with genuine potential to realise a vision, and to create something truly special.

Approached off a country lane via a five-bar gate, the house immediately presents in striking fashion with brick and flint elevations beneath a clay tiled roof. Arranged over three floors the property extends to just in excess of 2400 sq ft. The current internal configuration requires almost complete reworking, with an obvious opportunity to extend the rear elevation (outline plans available to view on demand).

On the ground floor, a spacious reception hall gives way to the sitting room and study/reception room, with door currently to shower room. The kitchen/breakfast room is accessed via the sitting room and this in turn leads to the utility room and bathroom.

There are 3 bedrooms to the first floor, with a staircase off the landing leading to 2 further bedrooms on the second floor, one with partial en suite facilities.

The gardens extend to approx. 0.6 acres and there is much to discover, with expanses of lawn together with areas currently given over to wildflowers. There are two garden ponds, a variety of mature trees and shrubs and gorgeous downland views to the front and rear.

Surrounded by beautiful farmland, rolling hills and nearby woodlands the property is located off the Chilgrove road. Within the South Downs National Park there are many miles of foot and bridlepaths for walking, riding and cycling, whilst a variety of excellent country pubs, including The White Horse in Chilgrove itself, are within close proximity.

Just to the south east, the famous West Dean Estate and College can be found. West Dean has a popular primary school, village shop and cafe, a public house and the historic Saxon church of St Andrews. Goodwood, famous for its motor circuit and race course, is also close by. Other activities on the Goodwood estate include golf and flying, whilst its Country Club provides swimming, gym and spa facilities .

The cathedral city of Chichester, a few miles to the south, offers a superb selection of shops, bars and restaurants. The city is particularly renowned for the highly regarded Festival Theatre and Pallant House Gallery.

Rail links to London are well serviced with a fast line from Havant to Waterloo via Guildford (approx 1hr 20), and from Chichester to Victoria via Gatwick Airport (approx 1hr 40).
