A beautifully presented Grade II Listed detached period property in a charming seaside hamlet, featuring a detached annexe and expansive grounds adjacent to open farmland all within half a mile of Climping beach.
Full Description
This charming period home is located in a picturesque hamlet, adjacent to open farmland and just under half a mile from Climping beach. Dating back to the 16th century and designated Grade II, this lovely family home offers quintessential country living.
The versatile accommodation spans two floors and features a welcoming entrance hall, a spacious 'L'-shaped Sitting Room with a fireplace and double doors leading to the rear gardens, a formal dining room, and a kitchen/breakfast room with Aga and utility room. Notable is the ground floor east wing (Barons Hall) which includes an inner hall, a cloak/shower room, and a superb large bedroom suite complete with an inglenook fireplace and direct access to the walled, lawned gardens. On the first floor, there are three additional bedrooms and a family bathroom.
A further particular feature is the recent addition of a detached ancillary annexe. Comprising a ground floor open plan kitchen/sitting room, cloakroom and first floor double bedroom (with en suite shower room), this superb addition in our opinion is ideal for use as a bed and breakfast investment opportunity or accommodation for an au pair or relative.
The gardens are thoughtfully designed, featuring a charming enclosed courtyard next to the kitchen and rear of the property, complete with a covered well. From this courtyard, you can access both the paddock/wildflower meadow and a lovely walled garden through a wrought iron gate. The walled garden boasts raised herbaceous borders on one side and is home to a variety of mature shrubs, bushes, and well-established trees.
The paddock/meadow is surrounded by post and rail fencing and includes a gate leading to the lane. There are also stables with two loose boxes that can also serve as a workshop. Off street parking is provided to the side and designated area off Climping Street. In all approx. 1.3 acres.
The Well House is located in the Climping Strategic Gap, one of the final undeveloped beach stretches between Brighton and Bognor Regis on the Sussex coast. The West Beach Sand Dunes are designated as an area of Special Scientific Interest. Climping Street is a no-through road that provides access solely to the beach (about half a mile away) and the famous Bailiffscourt Hotel and Spa. Nearby, you can find The Black Horse, a traditional Grade II listed public house
