The principal reception rooms – the drawing room, sitting room and library – are located on the south elevation and all have access immediately on to the sun terraces beyond and look south over the surrounding countryside.
The property benefits from some beautiful period features including stone mullioned windows, original flooring, the staircase, stone and timber flooring as well as many original fireplaces.
Gorehill House offers wonderful flexibility of accommodation with the bedrooms, bathrooms, and kitchenette to the top floor providing an excellent self-contained suite if required.
The property offers an incoming purchaser a wonderful opportunity to extend or reconfigure subject to the usual consents. We understand that the property benefited from a planning consent, now expired, to extend on the eastern elevation, adding large kitchen and a spa facility featuring a sauna and indoor swimming pool. Another previous consent allowed for the coach house to be converted into a two-bedroom guest cottage.
Outside, the property is accessed via old wrought iron gates with a formal driveway winding through the grounds to a turning area providing parking for several cars and leading in turn to the front door, kitchen courtyard, walled garden, triple garage and paddock land beyond. The grounds immediately surrounding the house are primarily laid to lawn with some established shrub borders and wonderful sun terraces lead off the southern elevation, taking advantage of the elevated position with exceptional views south over the surrounding West Sussex countryside. The property also features a flat area of lawn, once home to a Victorian lawn tennis court, which is a perfect children's play area or croquet lawn. Further to this are the orchard, a belt of woodland and three paddocks with stables.
Of interest, the courtyard to the rear of the property provides wonderful entertaining space during the summer months and is sheltered by the coach house and walled garden. This building is currently used as machinery and garden storage but would provide an excellent building suitable for use as a guest cottage subject to the usual consents.

Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on February 2, 2022
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
