established borders, and a variety of mature trees — from fruit-bearing pear and apple to a graceful

gym, workshop, or conversion into further accommodation (STPP). Additional outbuildings and
storage areas make the property as practical as it is beautiful.

an award-winning restaurant, and access to outstanding walks across the South Downs are all close at hand. With swift rail links to London and Gatwick,
