More recently Kents Farm House has been the subject of an extensive programme of upgrading and refurbishment, sensitive to the period elegance of the building whilst at the same time providing the comforts and flare of modern design. In addition to the two elegant Georgian reception rooms, the hub of everyday living is a beautifully equipped kitchen/family room which is flooded with natural light and has two sets of double doors opening onto a broad terrace and entertaining area looking over the gardens and grounds. An attractive focal point of the room is a four oven electric Aga with matching cooker companion for the summer months flanked by glazed display cabinets. A secondary kitchen provides additional storage together with dishwasher and wine cooler. To the north a spacious internal hallway provides access to the cosy beamed sitting room and study. Beyond these a spacious recreation room is over 18 ft in length and fitted with generous storage for boots and coats. A utility room with adjacent cloakroom provides secondary access to the driveway and approach and keeps the white goods away from the main living areas. The gym is a particularly impressive room being over 24 ft in length with sash windows reaching to its dramatic high ceiling making an elegant space for entertaining. From the main entrance hall stairs lead down to the cellars.
The generous bedroom accommodation is arranged over both the first and second floors including no less than three suites with two further bedrooms served by an additional bathroom and shower room, all stylish and well appointed. A further second floor suite of rooms lies to the north and Listed building consent has been granted for the installation of a permanent staircase providing access to these and allowing the creation of further bedrooms if required.
Outside
Double gates from Brookpit Lane open onto a walled courtyard approach surrounded by an excellent range of brick and flint outbuildings including two sizeable garages, one with consent to convert into a 1 bedroom cottage, well-appointed home office and a most attractive guest cottage which is ideal for extended family members, guests or a home and income opportunity.
The surrounding gardens and grounds afford the house a rare degree of privacy. Two sets of double casement doors from the kitchen/family room open onto a south west facing terrace enclosed by a low ornamental wall and having views over a broad expanse of lawn. This is planted with many attractive plants including a well established wisteria and magnolia grandiflora. A brick pathway flanked by beech hedges leads south to double gates opening onto a large walled courtyard with swimming pool providing a wonderful area for outside entertaining. This is enclosed by attractive brick and flint walls planted with a colourful variety of roses, clematis, agapanthus and acanthus. The adjacent brick built pool house provides two changing rooms, a plant room and attractive garden room with two sets of double doors onto both the courtyard and gardens to the west. An arched gate in the southern wall leads to the paddock which is enclosed by post and rail fencing and lined with a beautiful avenue of tall poplar trees along its western boundary which adjoins neighbouring open farmland. A manageable kitchen garden has a number of raised beds and a variety of fruit trees including apple, pear and plum. A nearby gate provides a useful secondary access to the lane.
The property is set within the popular coastal village of Climping which benefits from a public house, primary school, village church, historic Bailiffscourt Hotel/Spa and the beach. The property is ideally located for coastal and countryside pursuits, including direct access across the fields to the beach.
To the north the market town of Arundel offers a wide range of shopping facilities with mainline stations providing a regular service to London Victoria and along the South Coast. Arundel sits at the foot of the beautiful South Downs National Park and provides miles of footpaths and bridlepaths for the walking, cycling and horseriding enthusiast. There are various sailing clubs on both Littlehampton and Chichester harbours, a number of nearby golf clubs and horseracing at both Fontwell and Goodwood.
