This impressive five-bedroom Georgian residence, originally constructed around 1750 and expanded with Victorian elements, offers significant renovation and investment potential. Spanning over 3,600 sq ft, the home is nestled within a tranquil village setting surrounded by private gardens and extensive grounds. The property features three natural ponds teeming with wildlife, contributing to its serene atmosphere. While the house has been thoughtfully updated by the current owners to blend historic charm with contemporary comforts, there remains ample opportunity for further enhancement. An intriguing aspect of its history includes its past life as a working farm and informal inn along the historic Pedlars Way.
Entering through oak gates into a welcoming gravel driveway capable of accommodating several vehicles, one is greeted by a solid oak porch leading into a spacious hallway adorned with Cathedral limestone tiles. Generous living spaces include an expansive sitting room warmed by a wood-burning stove and a kitchen featuring premium Carrara marble worktops and an iconic Aga. Additionally, the house boasts a sunlit orangery that serves as both an artistic studio and exhibition space.
Upstairs accommodates five well-proportioned bedrooms; however, the shared bathroom could benefit from modern updates to enhance functionality. Outside, the extensive gardens feature diverse flora including olive trees and grapevines alongside natural ponds that attract local wildlife. Planning permission has already been secured for constructing a two-storey studio space that mirrors the aesthetic of the house itself, highlighting additional investment possibilities.
Located at the foot of South Downs within Hurstpierpoint village, residents enjoy proximity to local amenities and eateries while maintaining easy access to Brighton and London for further cultural engagement.
