THE EXISTING PROPERTY Enjoying a commanding and elevated situation, boasting stunning distant rural views across the neighbouring deer park, towards the countryside and hills beyond. Sky House offers a unique opportunity to either reinstate and upgrade the existing house or create a substantial country house in line with the planning permission already granted. Located in the highly regarded village of West Harting, Sky House really is quite special, given its spectacular outlook and position, with its own gardens, woodland and paddocks sloping away from the house maximising the views over its own land and the rural scene beyond.

Sky House in its current form offers something of a blank canvas to reinstate, redesign and perhaps reconfigure the existing layout of the family house which is arranged over three levels.

There are extensive footpaths and bridleways in the surrounding area including the South Downs Way, Hangers Way and Sussex Border Path.  

OUTSIDE Sky House offers a private, level, off road parking area for several vehicles adjacent to the property, situated directly off Collins Lane with a path leading to the front door of the house. In addition, a private gated access with sweeping drive, accessed from the lane below the house, rising up between the gardens and paddocks of the property leading to a separate parking area adjacent to the outbuilding also offers easy level access to the front door. The gardens to Sky House, whilst falling away from the property itself include an extensive raised patio, formal gardens, paddocks and light woodland amid its attractive, undulating landscape. The gardens and paddock boundaries are clearly defined by mature hedging and post and rail fencing and the grounds also house a large chicken coop, an enclosed, detached timber outbuilding with tiled roof offering two open fronted bays with metal field gates in front and a side store, and woodland which offers delightful walking amid snowdrops and bluebells. In all the attractive gardens, paddocks and woodland extend to approximately 4 acres (1.61 ha).
