Nestled in a secluded and sought-after semi-rural location, this attractive 15th-century grade II listed character home is truly a rare find. Believed to have origins dating back to 1480, the home rests on approximately 2.6 acres of beautifully manicured gardens and grounds and offers extensive outbuildings, garaging and workshops.

The property is thought to have started life as a modest farmhouse, originally owned by the Bishops of Chichester. Over the years there have been various extensions; most notably in the 1970's and later by the current owners in 2016. The result has substantially increased the living space which now extends to over 3,000 sqft, and all of which is beautifully appointed whilst remaining sympathetic to its origins.

The accommodation is split neatly between the old and new with the original part of the home offering an attractive drawing room with open fireplace, a morning room/study/snug, and stairs to three of the first floor bedrooms and a family bathroom. Moving through the property, there is a large and spacious kitchen/dining room with a homely Aga, and onto the fabulous modern rear sitting room with vaulted ceiling and bifold doors opening onto the rear courtyard/swimming pool. Another staircase at this end of the property leads to the principal bedroom, complete with en-suite and walk-in wardrobe.

Outside, along with the extensive private lawn, grounds and tennis court there is a stunning central courtyard area complete with swimming pool and covered bar/entertaining area. To the front and side of the grounds, there are a multitude of outbuildings, garaging and workshops in addition to the large, gated drive/parking area for multiple vehicles and a car barn for 4 vehicles. Furthermore, there is a fully refurbished detached studio/home office which provides annexe potential (STPP).

This enchanting family home offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of history and enjoy the idyllic charm of countryside living.
