Holmcroft is a substantial Grade II listed Georgian village house offered to the market for the first time in nearly 50 years. The house sits on a large plot within the South Downs National Park and benefits from extensive, well-established cottage gardens and a pheasantry that create a private, country feel close to the village centre. Generous reception rooms, high ceilings and original sash windows deliver light-filled living with period charm.
The layout includes a dual-aspect drawing room with feature fireplace and shutters, a cosy sitting/snug with a second fireplace, a dining room opening directly to the garden, and a kitchen with Rangemaster and cellar access. Upstairs are four large bedrooms, a family bathroom, separate toilet and a ground-floor shower room — ample space for family life, home working or flexible use.
Practical advantages include two single adjoining garages, two driveway parking areas and chain-free possession. The property sits in an affluent, low-crime village with excellent mobile and broadband connectivity and several well-regarded schools nearby, making it well suited to families wanting a rural yet connected lifestyle.
Buyers should note the Grade II listed status: repairs, alterations or extensions will be subject to planning and listed-building consents and may complicate renovation. Council tax is described as expensive. The house is presented beautifully but, given its age and listing, ongoing maintenance and specialist repair costs are likely. This is a rare chance to own a large, characterful home in a desirable village setting, best suited to purchasers who value period detail and are comfortable with listed-property responsibilities.
