A delightful detached home occupying a lovely plot with far-reaching views across the South Downs National Park.
The house and land straddle The Monarchs Way long distance path, so named as the escape route of Charles II following the defeat by Cromwell at the Battle of Worcester in 1651. It is rumoured that the King rested at The George & Dragon which is close by.
The origins of the house are probably early Georgian, with later extensions culminating in an octagonal sitting room and master bedroom, taking great advantage of the views.
The house has really interesting grounds with inspirational views, different levels, and an additional 1.5 acres of land on a long peppercorn lease from The Duke of Norfolk, with 64 years remaining. On that land is the remains of a former lime workers cottage, greenhouse and plenty of trees.
The property is situated within the South Downs National Park, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, enjoying breathtaking views of some of the most beautiful countryside in West Sussex. Houghton has one of the oldest pubs in Sussex, The George and Dragon as well as the 13th Century church. Its location makes it popular for walking, horse riding and mountain biking on the South Downs Way, fishing, bird watching and other outdoor country pursuits. Goodwood with its famous sporting events and world renowned Revival and Festival of Speed is within easy reach. The nearby village of Amberley is home to Amberley Castle which is a Grade 1 Listed Country House Hotel, a junior school, village shop and Post Office, pubs, a tea room as well as a riverside restaurant. Amberley also benefits from a mainline station with half-hourly direct trains from London Victoria and Gatwick Airport. There are a number of popular schools locally including Dorset House and Westbourne House. The village of Storrington has more comprehensive shopping, banking and recreational facilities including a Waitrose supermarket and Chanctonbury Leisure Centre.
