WITH LAND, an historic Grade II Listed detached house believed to be of 16th C. origin and extended on two occasions within the last 68 years and now offered for sale on the open market for the first time in that period. The house needs overall sympathetic renovation along with modernisation to meet a purchaser’s own requirements. Affording good size family accommodation spread over two floors together with a playroom to the loft in the most recent addition, there is also a sizeable unconverted attic to the older part of the house that is believed to have historically been additional ‘rooms'.
The mellow external elevations of the exposed oak framing with white render panels and part brickwork are offset by leaded light windows and with the walls being adorned by an ancient wisteria climber and sitting under a steep pitched and hipped clay tiled roof. Internally there are many period features including exposed timbers to all rooms and fine inglenook fireplace to the sitting room as well as part oak panelling. The principal rooms are all of a good size and enjoy a pretty rural outlook, in particular those rooms facing South and South-East with lovely vista across the land and neighbouring countryside to the South Downs in the distance.
Forming part of a larger acreage, the adjacent brick and tile stables to the East side are being retained for potential conversion and this retained building and land area have been fenced off and will be separately accessed to the East. Holders is offered for sale with its own private drive, single garage and area of adjoining pastureland stretching to the South-East. The gently sloping and free draining field comprises good quality Grade 2 land with greensand soils. The pretty period house nestles in a charming garden with lawns surrounding the house including the largest area to the South side overlooking the fields and beyond.
