Garden House is a substantial, newly refurbished period country home set within about 4.4 acres in the South Downs National Park. Built c.1800 and extended, it combines historic character with modern upgrades including electric underfloor heating, Nest-controlled radiators and a newly refurbished zinc-roof conservatory that works year-round. The property includes a separate, high-quality guest cottage (The Bothy) and useful outbuildings, plus a double garage and gravel driveway with generous parking.
Outside, the elevated, landscaped grounds provide extensive privacy, a Grade II listed walled garden, terrace entertaining areas and a swimming pool fitted with a remote electric safety cover (installed 2020). The site has scope for letting income—owners currently operate a successful Airbnb from the house—and there is additional land and a mains-electric shepherd’s hut available by separate negotiation for buyers wanting more grazing, hobby-farm or income potential.
Important practical points are straightforward: the house sits within the curtilage of a Grade II setting and the listed wall and historic status will impose constraints and potential extra costs for alterations and maintenance. Council tax is described as quite expensive. The property is freehold, lies in a low-crime, affluent rural village with fast broadband and reasonable mobile signal, and is well placed for local primary schools, Petworth and access routes to Gatwick and London.
This home will suit a family seeking abundant space and privacy, or a buyer wanting a country house with proven short‑let potential. It will not be right for someone seeking a low‑maintenance urban property: listed-status responsibilities and the scale of the grounds require ongoing care and sensible budget planning.
