    About this property

    • Previously known as Wellshurst, Holmbush House is a striking example of a detached Grade II listed property sitting on about 2.5 acres of very well maintained gardens with spectacular views over the Cuckmere Valley.

      The property is accessed through a set of impressive wrought iron gates via the entrance to Wellshurst Golf Club, with period features in abundance and many hallmarks typical of the era; with suitable refurbishment this would create one of the finest homes in the area.

      The generous hallway gives way to the dining room complete with an open fire. The ground floor also includes a well equipped kitchen with a Range oven and gas hobs, a very generous drawing room, together with a good sized reception room to the rear boasting French doors opening onto the glorious south west facing garden.

      There is no shortage of space in this beautiful property, the first floor alone boasting four spacious bedrooms, each with ensuite and the second floor has an additional two bedrooms and a bathroom. The principal bedroom en suite also benefits from underfloor heating, whilst the en suite to the second bedroom boasts an original 1920's art deco finish. The property also benefits from an internal lift which could be reinstated by the new owners, an integral self-contained annexe with separate entrance, and a quadruple garage

      There is a generous terrace to the rear spanning the width of the property and providing wonderful far-reaching views. Steps lower to the garden and grounds, which are mainly laid to lawn and wrap around three sides of the property, with mature herbaceous borders providing a wealth of colour throughout the year.
