House For Sale £2,500,000
Millstones House is a substantial Edwardian house occupying a prime, private position in the heart of the village of Slindon. The property is accessed via a gravel driveway leading in turn to a parking area for number cars and giving a wonderful approach to the house. Millstones House offers exceptional family accommodation over two floors, all centred around the vaulted reception hall with large Edwardian windows allowing this space to be flooded with natural light throughout the day. The property benefits from a good number of reception rooms which include the vaulted receptionroom, sitting room and conservatory.
The property has been in the family for many years and parts are unmodernised. However, the property has wonderful potential with ideas
such as, replacing the conservatory with an orangery whilst combining it with the sitting room and creating a very large open plan kitchen/breakfast
room. Garaging with a form of annexe and the possibility of a swimming pool at the back of the property. All are subject to the usual planning permissions.
To the north of the property is the gravel parking area while to the west are beautiful lawned areas, mature specimen trees and also where an old grass
tennis court used to sit. The real highlight to the property is the garden immediately to the south elevation, with a flat sun terrace and croquet
lawn providing a real sun trap at any time of day throughout the year. The surrounding grounds are bounded by some beautiful, mature trees as well
as rhododendrons, both affording some lovely woodland walks and great privacy.
The village of Slindon is predominantly owned by the National Trust, which has preserved much of its character and charm. Lying between Chichester and Arundel within the newly created South Downs National Park, it is in close proximity to forestry commission woodland and many attractive country walks and bridlepaths. The Forge village shop and café is hugely
popular and heavily supported by the local residents of the village.
The nearby villages of Barnham, Eastergate and Fontwell provide a good selection of local shops whilst Chichester and Arundel are within an easy
travelling distance by car and provide more comprehensive shopping facilities. There is also a good choice of rail links along the coast from either Barnham, Arundel or Amberley.
Numerous sporting and recreational activities in the area include horse racing at Goodwood and Fontwell, Polo at Cowdray Park, several golf
courses, a private country club at Goodwood with modern gym and indoor swimming pool and sailing at Littlehampton and Chichester harbours. The surrounding National Park countryside provides many opportunities for walking, riding or mountain biking.
