Nestled in the picturesque West Sussex countryside, this characterful period farmhouse, known as 'The Mill House', dates back to approximately 1825 and offers a unique opportunity for renovation and enhancement on over 15 acres of land. Surrounded by rolling hills and woodlands, the property boasts spacious and adaptable living quarters that can be transformed into a luxurious family home.
Accessed via a private track in the tranquil hamlet of Rackham, the home features a grand drawing room showcasing an exposed brick fireplace and log burner, while the dining room highlights charming period oak flooring. A garden room captures stunning views of the natural landscape beyond.
The kitchen is equipped with a traditional Rayburn range cooker and leads to a useful utility room, alongside a staircase descending to a generously sized wine cellar. The upper levels host a principal bedroom with en suite facilities and additional bedrooms that provide flexibility for family living.
Outside, the extensive grounds include formal gardens, fruit trees, open fields, and an enchanting bluebell wood—a sanctuary for local wildlife. Numerous outbuildings enhance the property's appeal, offering traditional barns, stabling options, workshops, and storage solutions.
Special mention must be made of the historic three-storey Rackham Mill on-site—believed to have roots dating back to the Domesday Book—which holds tremendous potential for restoration. This aspect alone could turn this property into a remarkable heritage destination or unique living space.
The locale is ideal for families seeking community life with access to schools, local shops, pubs, and outdoor activities set against nature’s backdrop while maintaining good transport links to London and Gatwick Airport.
