Stokewood Park House is a commanding Georgian-style country residence set within approximately 38.76 acres in the South Downs National Park. The main house, built in 1995/96, offers grand reception rooms, high ceilings and large windows that capture far-reaching rural views. Detached outbuildings include a flint barn with garages, stables, and additional storage, creating versatile space for vehicles, equestrian uses or conversion subject to consent.
The estate includes multiple ancillary dwellings: a two-bedroom Gate Lodge, two semi-detached cottages (in need of modernisation), a well-presented three-bedroom bungalow, and a three-bedroom Lodge. These provide immediate flexible accommodation for family, staff or rental income but several of the secondary buildings will require refurbishment and updating.
Grounds are a principal strength: mature lawns, herbaceous borders, specimen trees, an all-weather tennis court and a swimming pool sit alongside arable, grassland and woodland parcels. The site benefits from excellent rural communications — A3 access and rail links to London — and proximity to highly regarded schools and country pursuits.
Important practical notes: the property is freehold and extremely large (approx. 11,550 sq ft main house plus outbuildings), but it requires renovation in parts and will attract very high council tax and ongoing maintenance costs. Prospective buyers should factor refurbishment budgets and listed/conservation constraints associated with properties in the National Park before committing.
