LOCATION

GARDEN & GROUNDS
Terraced lawns lie on the east side of the house with apple and cherry trees and steps down from the top lawn to a large flagstone terrace, flanked by raised flower beds, and sitting outside offering distant views to the South Downs. A child’s wendy house lies in one corner and there are also the remnants of the old air raid shelter.
ADAPTABLE OUTBUILDINGS
There is workshop/garaging with extensive parking to the front offering enormous potential, subject to planning, together with a shed and a summer house/cabin.
Beyond the garden, passing a bank of hydrangeas, lies a separate paddock area – the whole extending to 1.24 acres (0.5 hectares).
