Exceptional renovation opportunity: period house on the southern outskirts of a popular village, set in generous grounds of about 4.15 acres
A handsome and substantial detached period house with former coach house and various outbuildings, set on the rural southern edge of the village in a generous plot of approximately 4.15 acres. The property now requires modernisation, but offers a prime opportunity for a buyer who is interested in significantly refurbishing and renovating to create a bespoke home.
With over 6,203 sq ft of accommodation in the main house, arranged over three floors, and additional outbuildings, Cowfold Lodge has the benefit of an extensive footprint and elegant proportions.
In its current configuration, which can be seen in full on the accompanying floorplan, the house offers four reception rooms, an open plan farmhouse kitchen/breakfast room with a pantry, a second kitchen, a utility room, two WCs and an attached greenhouse/conservatory on the ground floor; on the first floor are five bedrooms (four with basins, one with a dressing room), a bathroom and a WC, with four further bedrooms offering options for either accommodation or storage on the second floor.
Outside, the charming former coach house has a wealth of period detail, and further outbuildings include a double garage/machinery store, a brick and timber building with power connected offering two workshops, garden stores and a vinehouse. There is a timber summer house and a former home office.
The extensive gardens and grounds are level, and have previously been landscaped into distinct sections including a treelined walkway, a rose garden, a formal garden, a productive orchard, and a wild meadow. The property is approached via an in and put driveway, and there is space for parking multiple vehicles to the front of the house with a further large courtyard to the side. About 4.15 acres.

This property truly stands out to me because of its impressive size, elegant period features, and the wealth of versatile outbuildings, all set in just over 4 acres of grounds. Although it requires significant modernisation, I see it as a fantastic opportunity to create a bespoke family home offering plenty of space for outdoor activities and hobbies.
