The house is believed to date from 1863 and was formerly part of the Stansted Estate.
The house is now offered for sale in need of some need of renovation and refurbishment, and presents a wonderful opportunity to create a grand and spacious Victorian country home. The main drawing room and study both retain their original window shutters and other features of the period include a grand staircase and spacious landing with original glazed capolar, flooding the landing with light. The kitchen would benefit from relocating to the current dining room which would then provide a lovely family room with doors onto the garden.
On the first floor there are 5 very good size bedrooms with a walk-in dressing room and smaller 6th bedroom, both of which a prospective purchaser may wish to look into converting into en-suite bathrooms.
The annexe was formerly used as nursing home accommodation, housing 7 bedrooms, a large office, shower room, cloakroom and kitchenette.
This is a much sought after rural setting with access to many acres of beautiful walking countryside including the long distant paths of Monarch's Way and the Sussex Border Path. Nearby Stansted House hosts a variety of events during the year and is the home of Ivan Hicks Garden in Mind. The hamlet of Forestside has a village hall and church. The nearby village of Rowlands Castle, with its own railway station, can be found approximately 1.7 miles away. The surrounding areas are now part of the South Downs National Park and designated as an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Emsworth town centre can be found within 4 miles and has a superb range of local shops, pubs and restaurants and also a mainline railway station. The cathedral city of Chichester lies some 7 miles to the south east and provides a comprehensive range of shopping facilities arranged within its partly pedestrianised centre, together with a wide choice of bars and restaurants. The arts are well catered for with the internationally renowned Festival Theatre and Pallant House Gallery.
