House For Sale £1,475,000
Westacre represents the principal portion of a substantial Victorian country house, occupying the entire southern elevation of the property and benefitting from stunning views south over the surrounding West Sussex countryside towards the Downs.
As one would expect from a property of this era, the property benefits from generous ceiling heights of about 12 feet high throughout the ground floor, with wonderful square rooms and floor to ceiling sash windows. The property is presented in excellent order and benefits from a recently updated kitchen as well as the three bathrooms to the first floor.
The abundance of windows throughout the property together with the principally southerly aspect allow the property to be flooded with natural light throughout the day and lend a light, homely feel. The property benefits from a wealth of period features including original cornicing, windows and shutters to some rooms.
Outside, the property is entered via timbered electric gates and a gravel driveway leading to a turning area providing parking for numerous cars. Here can be found the machinery and wood stores as well as the detached double garage.
The main formal gardens lie to the south of the property and are composed of some wonderful sun terraces, formal lawns and a large ornamental pond. The gardens have been thoughtfully landscaped and provide a riot of colour throughout the spring, summer and autumn with the gardens benefitting from the planting of thousands of bulbs.
The property also features a stunning kitchen garden surrounded by a beautiful old clipped Yew hedge and a substantial greenhouse by Hartley Botanic, a must for any budding botanist. The property further benefits from a chicken run, dovecote and several sheds as well as a swimming pool, old pool house and surrounding terracing.
