Thought to date from the 1930's, this exceptional country house is very well placed and nicely set-up for family living, with a tucked-away position within its own land and offering a natural swimming pool, a tennis court and stabling with paddocks.

In addition, this five bedroom house has been skilfully updated by the sellers since their purchase in around 2007, maximising the appeal of this wonderful location. The presentation is very stylish throughout.

There is also a very impressive self-contained studio apartment as ancillary accommodation in the stable block, as well as a glazed gym building by the pool, and a converted English Heritage 'Cart Barn' style garage building, currently used as a home/work studio.

Features of note include:
The reception hall, sitting room and family room are all attractive, character rooms, with the sitting room enjoying a fine arched window and door, out onto the rear, west facing terrace, with its stunning panoramic view. The family room has an inglenook style fireplace and a wood burning stove, with double aspect over the garden and the open-plan reception hall also has an attractive garden aspect to the side. All these areas are oak floored and feature attractive period style fireplaces, as well as period style radiators,quality light stitches and door furniture, with this level of detail generally continuing throughout the house.

The kitchen/dining room is another highlight, featuring a central fireplace for the traditional four oven Aga and one wall of windows and doors onto the terracing and view. This whole room is very attractively fitted out in oak, slate and granite, designed and installed using Alistair Fleming Kitchens in Lewes.

The stairs lead up to a generous landing, serving all five bedrooms, with the principal bedroom enjoying the views, and with a fitted dressing room with bespoke cupboards and a quality designed, en suite shower room. The four further double bedrooms are served by a smart, attractively tiled family bathroom.

Other features include a kitchen garden and orchard, solar panels, and water to the three paddocks, one with a field shelter and a ha-ha to the landscaped terrace, with mature hedging and planting.

The gardens are designed to limit maintenance, offering ‘park like' gardens and grounds edged by mature trees and a distinctive line of Scots Pine defining the border between lawn and meadow.
