For those who enjoy the great outdoors, 1,627km2 of protected downland, a choice of golf clubs, equestrian facilities, towns and villages are on the doorstep whilst the seaside is only about 15 minutes away. Well connected, two stations at Worthing (both within 15 minutes) serve Gatwick and London, and Brighton & Hove and the airport at Gatwick are easy to reach by car, so this luxury home balances a peaceful, village life with all the best that the Sussex Coast offers.
INTRODUCTION
A private paradise in the South Downs National Park with Downland views, this luxury detached property has 4 bedrooms in the main house, a fabulous two bedroom attached annexe/additional family accommodation and an astounding 5080 sq. ft. (472.04m2) of sunlit rooms to enjoy. Nestled at the end of a quiet no through road in the exclusive Downland village of Findon, electronic gates sweep open to a double garage and ample off street parking for guests. Designed for entertaining, every room on the ground floor opens to the extensive south facing gardens with a full size heated pool, whilst at the back, a paved terrace delivers space for ball games and such like.
Inside blends a sociable layout with quiet, comfortable family rooms and, although a modern home, there is plenty of character to enjoy, with arched front doors which open to a hall with a hand crafted oak staircase beneath hand painted leaded windows, and a formal reception with huge beams and a roaring fire. Guests can relax in rare seclusion in an elegant dining room, a conservatory is full of sunshine and at the heart of the home is a stunning kitchen/dining/family room. Upstairs four double bedrooms, one ensuite, are peaceful, and the beautiful principal suite with a dressing room and ‘his and her’ bathrooms is a dream come true.
Linking the additional accommodation/annexe and main house, a home office/utility room becomes a changing room at weekends as its shower room is opposite the pool. Ideal for inter-generational living, this accommodation offers a sophisticated open plan lifestyle, both bedrooms are spacious with a bathroom between and, with its own front door, even lends itself to being an Airbnb!
ABOUT THE PROPERTY:
No expense has been spared to create a wonderful home in which to spread your wings, focused on the needs of the family and celebrating company. Dynamic landscaping delivers an impressive approach where the garden is kept private and the lit garage block is by the house. A traditional gabled porch shelters visitors and arched oak doors, reclaimed from a church, invite visitors in. Inside, a grand hallway has a handcrafted oak staircase which rises beneath hand painted leaded windows, and a discreet practical touch is the inclusion of a deep under stair cupboard, a cloakroom and boot room are also tucked away.
At 21’4 x 19’5 (6’51m x 5.91m) the formal reception is a classic beauty with beams high overhead. A joy in all seasons it opens to the conservatory and garden in summer whilst in winter, guests can relax in front of a roaring fire in complete seclusion. There is a soothing flow down into an elegant dining room, currently used as a large private office, where calm decoration keeps the attention on the leafy views and a rose arbour, French doors in the west wall lead outside.
With a vaulted glass roof, the sunny conservatory is lined with window seats to embrace the glory of the gardens and where a gentle eye can be kept on the swimming pool – which is safely in sight of all of the rooms in the main house. Doors open to the sun terrace, whilst a second set open to the heart of this home – the family room and kitchen.
Embracing family life, friendship and a
wonderful setting which can be lit at night, the stunning family/dining room and kitchen
extends for an amazing 38’6 x 15’10 (11.78m x 4.83) ideal for informal entertaining or family time where a graceful fireplace houses a flame effect gas fire and broad doors open to the south sun terrace for a seamless, al fresco lifestyle.
Safely tucked away from the social flow behind a central island, the kitchen is a gourmet’s dream with sturdy units providing so much storage that the space remains fuss free whilst stylish
surfaces provide plenty of pretty indestructible
working space. Party perfect, the Leisure Gas Rangemaster 110 could stay, and a fridge freezer and dishwasher are integrated for you, although there is designated space for a second fridge freezer if you also like to cater for large
celebrations!
A stable door connects to the bright home office/utility room which has access to the back terrace. With built in shelves for files and storage for fresh towels, there is a shower room which opens to the pool, so this area transforms into a changing room during pool parties.
Outside, the garden is a private oasis which is child and pet secure. At the back, a large, paved area is ideal for teens with space for tables and chairs as well as for ball games. At the front, stone terraces scented by roses run along the whole of the south face of the property creating sociable, lit areas for seating or dining, and all look across the heated, full sized swimming pool which has a strong safety cover. Broad steps take you down to a large lawn for play, and surrounded by plants and trees chosen for all year interest, it is easy to forget that you are just 10 minutes away from a thriving coastal town when all you can hear is birdsong!
Upstairs, all four family bedrooms are orientated towards the garden, so they are all sunny, quiet and not directly overlooked. Each have their own character, tasteful decoration and fitted wardrobes, so they are ready for the move, and all good sizes.
Private and blissfully quiet, the principal suite is a secret sanctuary, extending from front to back with 21’4 x 19’5 (6.50m x 5.92m) to play with - just in the bedroom! Custom made wardrobes provide all the storage you could dream of – although there are more to follow- and the large West window frames an open view towards Church Hill. Two fabulous bathrooms at each end are his and her’s in style, and the first, which also opens to the hallway, will restore you to your former glory with a shower above the bath, high end Heritage fittings including a warming rail, and a deep double wardrobe. At the other end, the second bathroom has hand-painted murals, a corner bath with a seat, separate shower cubicle and opens to a bright dressing room, lined with organised storage.
At the back of the house, the door to the additional family accommodation/annexe opens to an inner lobby with a cloakroom and access to the boiler/pool house which has lapsed permission to convert into a 2 storey building with one room on each level (think gym and media room!). Opening to a terrace, which could be made private, the ground floor flows around a central staircase with a modern kitchen on one side with an integrated gas hob and oven, and plumbing for both a washing machine and a drier. The living dining area is bright and cheerful and upstairs the stylish bathroom is large enough for a bath and separate shower, and the two double bedrooms do not share a wall.
