Description

This Grade II listed farmhouse presents an exciting opportunity for those looking to invest in a character property with substantial potential. Nestled within approximately 3 acres of picturesque gardens, paddocks, and woodlands in the South Downs, the property is ripe for renovation. The entrance porch welcomes you into a spacious reception hall, leading to multiple living areas including a cozy sitting room and a family room, which could benefit from modern updates. The two conservatories offer stunning views but may require some refurbishment to maximize their potential. The kitchen and breakfast area are ideally suited for family gatherings but could be transformed into a contemporary culinary space with reconfiguration and modern fixtures. The four bedrooms, two with en suite facilities, provide ample accommodation but may also need modernization to meet today’s expectations. The separate annexe adds versatility as a guest suite or home office but will require attention to make it fully functional. Outside, the lovingly maintained gardens and additional features such as stables and planning consent for a studio above the garage enhance the property's appeal. However, all areas will benefit from thoughtful updates and maintenance to truly shine. With its proximity to Rowlands Castle village amenities and transport links, this farmhouse offers a unique blend of rural charm and investment prospects for discerning buyers ready to bring their vision to life.
