An outstanding country house full of charm and character set perfectly in the centre of its own 78 acres including paddocks, woodland and lake, at the end of a long driveway.

The property dates from the early twentieth century with parts of the first and second floor believed to date from Elizabethan times meaning it has an abundance of character with many classic features including, exposed timbers, drop latch doors and inglenook fireplaces, all beneath a Horsham stone roof.

The property has been considerately updated and was extended in 2006 creating a feature room central to modern living, on the west side of the property overlooking the gardens.

The galleried reception hall sets the tone for the house, with wood panelling, stone flagging, and a sweeping central staircase. The study, one of two adjoining the hall, has a range of oak shelves with a built in desk and cupboards.

The kitchen/breakfast room is well equipped with granite surfaces, a four oven Aga set in a tiled recess and excellent range of wall hung and under counter bespoke cupboards. To the east of the kitchen are the utility room, boot room, laundry, office and a cloakroom.
