House For Sale £3,500,000
Stable House is an exceptional home, situated in an elevated position which benefits from expansive views of the parkland and the beautiful South Downs National Park.
Description
Created just six years ago, Stable House is the result of an imaginative conversion of a former farm building that was achieved by both extension on the same level and under-building to create a magnificent lower ground leisure space and additional sun terrace.
On inspection the property speaks for itself regarding the innovation, planning and attention to detail that went into its creation. However, a number of features are worthy of highlighting.
Stable House is superbly arranged for entertaining; both on a grand scale and for less formal occasions. From the forecourt with ample parking for guests, an impressively modern reception hall benefits from a long skylight to create a superb sensation of space and light. This leads directly through to a particularly generous principal reception room with a large stone feature fireplace and modern gas-log fire. As an entertaining space this room is perfect, being generously proportioned and benefitting from wide glass doors to a sheltered patio to the north and to a south facing terrace with distant views to the South Downs some eight miles away. It would be hard to imagine a more idyllic spot in which to share time with friends or family.
The house’s flexibility continues. For less formal occasions the unusually spacious kitchen/family dining room also benefits from the same views and terrace access, so providing free circulation to all areas. However, from here steps lead down to a further generous space with lantern skylight roof and full width bifold and patio doors to a further sun terrace. Electrically operated blinds control the light as desired. Whilst currently arranged as a combined formal dining room and family TV room it offers great flexibility of use dependent only on individual needs.
Bedroom accommodation is both generous and very well appointed and comprises a magnificent master suite with dressing room and access to both north and south facing terraces. There are three further spacious en suite rooms, all with outside access, and a fifth bedroom that is currently arranged as a home office.
A number of improvements have been carried out recently by the current owner. The double garage has been converted to provide a home gymnasium and a boot/dog room. These could be reinstated as garage space if so required. It is suggested that this area together with the adjoining utility room and laundry could easily be adapted to provided self-contained internal accommodation for staff or a dependent relative if so required.
New flooring has been installed in a number of areas; central heating boilers have been replaced; the lower terrace has been repaved in slate and a planning application for a swimming pool is in progress.
The accommodation of Stable House is well laid out and is illustrated on the floor plans included in this brochure.
