8 bedroom detached house for sale

A generously proportioned and significantly updated detached Sussex style house set in beautiful landscaped gardens and grounds of approximately 4.6 acres with a detached 2 bedroom annexe and further outbuildings

Lying at the foot of the South Downs, Keymer is a quaint village playing host to a parade of local shops and a public house and church. The private lane on which Wellhouse Farm is situated provides direct access onto a wide all-weather bridleway/footpath that to Ditchling village. The larger town of Burgess Hill, with its mainline train station is a short drive away and provides regular rail services to London. There are an array of local state and private schools for all ages.

Set along a private lane and boasting over 6000 sq ft of accommodation, Wellhouse Farm is a traditional ‘Sussex Style’ house that has been sympathetically enlarged and improved by the current vendors in the recent years. Prominently positioned within the plot, this detached family house was built in 1988 and offers balanced accommodation over 2 floors with luxury fixtures and fittings throughout including a bespoke ‘Thomas Ford’ kitchen and ‘Perrin & Rowe’ sanitary ware. Reception space is plentiful with 3 reception rooms on the ground floor including a sizable drawing room looking out over the meadow. 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms are arranged over the first floor with the principal bedroom suite benefiting from a walk in dressing room and en-suite bathroom. Set within the grounds are a variety of outbuildings including a large 2 bedroom annexe providing the perfect guest or multi-generational accommodation. A large barn provides a multitude of uses and there is the benefit of the recent addition of a detached double carport and attached garden room/office. Beautifully landscaped gardens and grounds surround the property and amass to approximately 4.6 acres. Formal lawns with well stocked beds and a sizable raised terrace can be enjoyed by both the house and the annexe with a large paddock sitting to the north.
