Property description
This superb unique listed country residence (architect the famous E.M. Barry) dates back to the 1870's, and stands in the mature grounds, with delightful views of the South Downs.
Having undergone a substantial programme of improvement under the watchful eye of the current owners, the property now offers high specification accommodation over two floors, within a beautiful semi-rural location. The landscaped gardens are a particular feature, providing year-round colour, also with the addition of a large pond and orchard. If you need an office or a gym space then there is the perfect outbuilding for it. The large barn could easily be transformed into a workshop or stable with plenty of space for a paddock. The property is fully enclosed with stock proof fencing. The kitchen complements the two reception rooms and is an ideal space to entertain from, with under floor heating throughout the ground floor. The outstanding feature is the beautiful spiral staircase within a circular tower with exposed brick work and conical tiled roof. All three bedrooms are generous in size and are double rooms. The spacious family bathroom not only has a large bath, but also has a separate shower cubicle.
With the locally renowned Bolney Stage pub just down the road ideal for a bite to eat in the Summer evenings. There are a number of good nearby private and public schools. Hayward’s Heath is close by with restaurants shops and the main line train station with fast trains to London.
What the Owner says:
We moved here about eight years ago. We took one look at the house from the bottom of the driveway and knew it was the home for us.
We set about refurbishing the property and have enjoyed making the most of all the period features, as well transforming the gardens.
Friends and family love coming to visit - the stunning view mesmerises them and changes all the time. The large gardens provide plenty of space for barbeques and for kids and adults alike to play games in, on a summers day.
Being not that far from Haywards Heath mainline railway station makes for easy commutes into London and Gatwick.
