This distinguished Grade II listed country house, dating back to the 16th century, is nestled within the serene landscape of the South Downs National Park, offering a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. Known as Holters Green, this expansive property boasts a rich history and substantial character, with approved planning and listed building consents in place for sensitive enhancements that will elevate its historical charm while accommodating modern living needs. Situated on the outskirts of Cooksbridge village, it provides an ideal blend of rural tranquility and accessibility to local amenities and transport links. The house retains numerous original features including timber framing and red brick elevations but requires refurbishment to update its interiors according to contemporary standards.

The grounds extend over 1.9 acres and include mature gardens, outbuildings, a swimming pool with an accompanying pool house, and even a tennis court that currently needs attention – all of which provide exciting avenues for improvement or recreational use. The extensive planning permissions allow for meaningful alterations; these could include enlargements and reconfigurations to create additional living space or formal entrances that would significantly increase the property’s appeal. Overall, Holters Green stands as a remarkable canvas for those looking to invest in a property with both historical significance and potential for modern luxury in an idyllic setting.
