5 bedroom character property

Ellens Court is the Eastern wing of this magnificent Grade II listed Manor House, Ellens, with attractive tile hung elevations relieved by beautiful oak windows under a Horsham stone roof. Ellens has an interesting history with the original Farmhouse dating back as early as the 16th century. In the early 20th century architect Maurice Webb, son of Sir Aston Webb (responsible for the facade of Buckingham Palace) sympathetically extended the property in its Elizabethan style.

Ellens Court itself has been stylishly and sympathetically modernised over more recent years including an extension creating a stunning open plan kitchen/dining room with family area opening onto a large patio area and glorious formal gardens. The bespoke kitchen boasts a comprehensive range of handcrafted units below honed granite work surfaces, an electric Aga, and a limestone tiled floor with underfloor heating throughout the kitchen, hallway and cloakroom. There is a wealth of handmade oak joinery throughout the property including doors, windows and beams.

The arrangement of the accommodation is flexible featuring a spacious reception hall, a drawing room with open fireplace and oak framed windows. There is a further double aspect sitting room/family room, a generous study/office to the front and a stunning kitchen/dining room with an oak and glass extension with vaulted ceiling, large oak framed picture windows and double doors leading to the patio. This has created a delightful bright and airy room with a wonderful aspect over the grounds. From the kitchen there is a further hallway with utility room and cloakroom. External stairs lead down to the cellar.

The first floor comprises five/six bedrooms and four bathrooms, two of which are en-suite. The main bedroom accommodation is accessed via the bespoke staircase where there is a principal bedroom suite with fitted wardrobes and a contemporary en-suite bathroom featuring limestone flooring with underfloor heating, a guest bedroom which features an en-suite shower room, two further bedrooms and a family bathroom. Accessed via a second staircase there are two further double bedrooms and a shower room. This arrangement of the bedrooms could provide an ideal area for a family with an au pair or independent teenagers.

The property is approached via security controlled wooden gates, beyond which a long gravel drive winds round the pond into a generous parking area to the front of a detached barn style triple carport/garage with staircase leading to a storage room above.

The gardens are a true delight consisting of areas of formal, beautifully maintained, lawns, bordered by gravelled paths surrounded by yew hedging and mature laurels. There are further lawns with established trees and shrubs including manicured hedging, substantial wisteria, roses and well stocked herbaceous borders. The tennis court lies at the top of the garden adjacent to open fields with a superb barn style outbuilding alongside currently fitted out as a gym/yoga studio with a sauna, but could also make an ideal work from home space should it be required.

We highly recommend a viewing to appreciate everything this charming family home has to offer.
