5 bedroom detached house for sale

Character family home in idyllic semirural setting, 4.7 acres, lovely south facing south downs views, generous accommodation with separate barns, garage and workshop.

Description

Fallowfield is positioned in a delightful, semi rural position on the edge of the village and boasts exceptional countryside views across its grounds and beyond towards the South Downs. This character home has been in the same family ownership for nearly 45 years and is being offered to the market with no onward chain. Now requiring sympathetic modernisation, the property is in fair order throughout with the main house offering accommodation extending to approximately 3,000 sq ft.

Upon entering is the central, welcoming entrance hall and a cloakroom. The kitchen / dining room is presented in a traditional, country style with fitted cabinetry and a range cooker. Off the kitchen is the adjoining utility room with convenient access outside.

The triple aspect drawing room enjoys generous proportions, bay windows and French doors opening on to the garden. There is a sitting room with a log burning stove as well as a useful study with built-in storage.

On the first floor are five bedrooms which all enjoy a delightful outlook across the grounds and countryside beyond. On the second floor is generous loft space with further potential for addition bedroom accommodation.

Outside, the garden has been beautifully maintained by the current owners with an exceptionally well kept lawn and a collection of fine specimen trees. Fallowfield is set in approximately 4.7 acres which includes the generous sized paddock.

There are a number of outbuildings including two large barns both currently used for storage located at the far end of the driveway with a gate that leads directly to the paddock.

Of note is the separate stable block with an attached workshop, garage and carport. Planning permission has been granted for the refurbishment and extension of this outbuilding to allow for use as ancillary habitable accommodation. Further information can be found on the Local Authority website using the Ref: 24/P/00399.
