5 bedroom house

The Whitehouse is a substantial modern country house of striking design situated in a peaceful rural setting and commanding sweeping southerly views to the South Downs in the distance.

The long drive rises from the lane, between post and railed paddocks and then through electrically controlled gates which open onto an inner drive terminating in a large turning and parking area adjacent to the garaging and front entrance. The spacious and well-proportioned accommodation, which is served by under floor heating throughout, is arranged over 2 floors. At the centre of the house is the impressive galleried hall and landing with full height windows, designed to take maximum advantage of the far reaching southerly view. The expansive open plan kitchen/family room is extensively fitted to a high standard with a comprehensive range of Siemens appliances and full width part sliding windows opening on to the south facing terrace. The adaptable ground floor accommodation is ideally suited to provide a self-contained annexe, office suite or similar if required.

The ground and first floor accommodation are separated by a solid concrete floor providing excellent sound insulation. The spacious principle suite has a large dressing room, luxuriously appointed bathroom and sliding glazed doors opening onto a south facing balcony. Three further bedrooms, one with an ensuite bathroom, and a spectacular family bathroom complete the first floor.
Outside

Adjacent to the entrance forecourt is a detached triple garage with remote controlled doors.

Extensive south facing terracing adjoins the house with sweeping level lawns extending to the south and west. A gently sloping paddock lies to the south of the entrance drive.

In all the gardens and grounds extend to about 3.3 acres (1.34 ha).
