Believed to have been constructed in the 18th century and subsequently converted in the late 1970's, this imposing wing is steeped in history including use as a former school and as accommodation for recuperating soldiers during the war. Today, the accommodation is arranged over three floors and has an abundance of period features including ceiling roses, ornate cornicing and large sashed windows. Further features include high ceilings and stunning outlook towards the south downs, village roof tops and Amberley Wild Brooks.



On the ground floor you enter a good sized entrance hall which feeds through to a dining room and access to the kitchen. To the rear there is a utility room and access to a storage room with feature curved ceiling. Subject to the usual consents the ground floor could be re-configured to form a large family space. A large shower room completes the ground floor. On the first floor there is a large south-facing drawing room with floor to ceiling windows and French windows opening to a conservatory and an ornate exterior staircase to the garden. To the front there is a good sized double aspect study and to the side, accessed from a half landing, a bedroom.
