5 bedroom house

Occupying an outstanding elevated position with superb southerly views of The South Downs, The Old Vineyard is a beautifully presented family house with bright accommodation of excellent proportions. There is a clear sense of design, with the orientation of the house taking full advantage of the setting with large comfortable rooms and an overall atmosphere of well-appointed informality.
The vaulted drawing room is a wonderful bright room with a mezzanine gallery and doors directly out to the garden. The kitchen has a central island breakfast bar and is a sociable open-plan space opening to a dining area which in turn opens to a triple aspect sitting/family room, again with direct access out to the garden. A large entrance hall, study, and guest bedroom suite complete the ground floor. Upstairs there are 4 further bedrooms and 2 further bathrooms. Again, the views to The Downs are spectacular, particularly from the main bedroom suite.

Outside

The house is approached over a long drive which
culminates with plenty of parking close to the house. There is a double garage with a room above accessed by an internal staircase. The landscaped gardens lie predominantly to the south west. A stunning terrace with a wonderful water feature, stone paving, and a wooden deck is sheltered by the rear elevation of the house.
From here, there is a delightful outlook over attractive and established planted flower beds and borders, the extensive lawns, and the pond. Beyond the hedged garden boundaries lie two paddocks to the south west and south east. There is a useful barn with planning consent to replace with a new garden equipment store with a home office above. To the north, lies a further paddock with sand-school, another significant outbuilding with 6 stables, and there is a substantial woodland of about 6 acres. In all the gardens and grounds extend to about 18.3 acres.

Situation

The Old Vineyard lies within the South Downs
National Park within close proximity of the charming Downland village of Fulking, with its popular country inn, The Shepherd and Dog. The village of Henfield which provides an excellent variety of shops and facilities is about 4 miles. The larger centres of Horsham and Haywards Heath are about 16 miles and 12 miles respectively.
