5 bedroom semi-detached house

Pinewood House comprises a substantial portion of this imposing country house, built in the 1840's for James Clarke Hook a leading Victorian artist. In the late 19th Century, the property was owned by the 1st Viscount Knutsford. The house was skilfully converted into separate dwellings in the 1950s.

Purchased by our clients in 2007 the property underwent significant refurbishment, including new roofs and tile hanging; heating system and plumbing, and partial rewiring. Partial reconfiguration of the ground floor created a larger kitchen with hand built and painted units.

The house offers light and bright accommodation over three floors with the principal rooms enjoying incredible views over the Sussex Weald towards Blackdown and the South Downs.

Upon entering the property, you are greeted by an impressive reception hall and a mahogany carved staircase leading up to a galleried first floor landing. On the left you have a large double aspect dining room and separate drawing room both with original Victorian features, including ornate ceiling cornices and roses. The bespoke kitchen includes an orangery and a fully fitted galley that extends to the back of the house. The galley includes a second oven to compliment the AGA.

On the first floor there are two large bedrooms, an office, bathroom and separate cloakroom. The principal bedroom has a luxury en suite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe.

The second floor includes a further three spacious bedrooms and bathroom. On the same level you walk through to the artist studio, a double aspect room with a barrel-vaulted ceiling from where a stairway leads down to the kitchen.

Approached from Brook Road down a long driveway (owned by Pinewood House) to gates which open into a gravelled driveway with parking for numerous cars by the barn style garage. The gardens have been beautifully laid out with terracing, flat lawned areas, banks of lavender and a platform for a hot tub. Further down the garden is a smart Alitex greenhouse and a less formal area, perfect for a football pitch.

In all the grounds extend to approximately 1.3 acres.

Pinewood House is situated on the edge of Wormley close to the hamlet of Sandhills, within an Area of Outstanding Natural beauty. A lot of the area is made up of National Trust land with an array of attractive cottages and houses as well as the renowned King Edward's School and Barrow Hills.
