6 bedroom house

St Andrews Farmhouse is a substantial modern country house situated in a peaceful rural setting and commanding sweeping views to the south and west towards the South Downs in the distance. The design of the property draws on the styles and features of both Sir Edwin Lutyens’ work and the Arts and Crafts movement which creates a truly exceptional home of traditional style and construction.

A private drive rises from the lane, between post and railed paddocks and then through electrically controlled gates which open onto an expansive forecourt. The spacious and well proportioned accommodation, which is served by under floor heating throughout, is arranged over 2 floors with all principal rooms on the ground floor opening from the impressive reception hall. The ground and first floor accommodation are separated by a solid concrete floor providing excellent sound insulation and fire separation. The quality of the fittings and finish throughout is exceptional and all rooms benefit from fine rural views.

From the reception hall a staircase lit by a full height window rises to the first floor landing. The principal suite comprises a bedroom with a south facing balcony, dressing room and a luxuriously appointed bathroom. 2 further suites, one with a dressing room, 3 bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the first floor accommodation.
Outside

Adjacent to the forecourt is the detached garage with double remote controlled doors. A separate entrance door gives access to a lobby with a shower room and staircase to a 37’ loft room above.

The property is set well within its grounds with sweeping lawns extending beyond the terracing to the west and the pillared loggia on the southern elevation. A gently sloping paddock lies to the south of the gardens and to the west the property adjoins open countryside.

In all the gardens and grounds extend to about 4.3 acres (1.74 ha).
