Elegant modernised Victorian house near Rusper.

Description

Having been the subject of a major refurbishment and remodelling exercise in recent years, Old Park now represents a stunning period home with the benefits of a thorough modernisation programme throughout. We understand the original house dates from 1850 and the property is rendered with a hipped-slate roof. Today, the property is reminiscent of a house from the Georgian era with its distinct front elevation and portico, sash windows and noticeably generous ceiling heights.

The entrance portico leads to a generous open reception hall with a large study adjacent with its double doors onto the garden. Ahead is substantial family room of some 28 feet in length which in turn leads to a contemporary, double aspect kitchen, with an adjoining utility room, featuring Miele appliances with views across the garden and open farmland beyond. The ground floor accommodation is complimented by a fabulous 25 foot long drawing room with a marble fireplace and floor to ceiling, south-facing sash windows overlooking the garden. Access to a cellar is beneath the staircase which in itself rises to a generous landing on the first floor. There are five generous double bedrooms all with ensuite bathrooms. Of particular note is the superb principle suite which is of a significant scale and occupies the southerly view over the garden complete with a walk-in wardrobe.

Externally, the property is accessed via an electric timber gate to a gravelled drive that leads to a beautiful turning circle around a glorious, mature oak tree and to the front of the house. Beyond is an independent double garage. The grounds are mainly laid to lawn and lead beyond the perimeter to open farmland and far-reaching views. There is a hard tennis court neatly surrounded by laurel hedging as well as a charming vegetable garden immediately adjacent to the rear of the house.

Location
