A stunning Edwardian home in glorious surroundings with 3 bed Coach House
Description
The main house is a beautifully presented Edwardian Manor dating back to 1902. The manor has been extensively restored and refurbished to bring it up to modern day standards whilst retaining classical architecture including ornate cornicing, elaborate plasterwork, open fireplaces, and large spacious rooms, expected from this era.
The property is approached via electric entrance gates and winds up a sweeping driveway to a large parking area. The accommodation offers well-appointed rooms with an impressive 34’ drawing room complete with a grand Jacobean fireplace. Of particular note is the impressive kitchen and breakfast room, which occupies the site of the former ballroom, and leads out onto the formal gardens. Complementing these rooms is a dining room which comfortably seats twelve, a snug/playroom, a study with fitted oak furniture, a utility room and a useful dog’s room with direct access into an enclosed courtyard.
On the first floor there are five well-proportioned bedrooms, all of which have en suite bathrooms and enjoy views of the surrounding countryside and vineyards. The large principal suite includes a large dressing room and bathroom with roll top bath, double shower, two separate W/C’s and twin basins. Bedrooms two and three also include walk in dressing rooms. Completing the rooms upstairs is a large laundry room/bedroom six.
The coach house is a light and spacious two storey dwelling offering stunning panoramic views of the surrounding countryside and vineyards. On the ground floor there are three bedrooms, one of which has an en suite bathroom and walk in dressing room. There is also a separate family bathroom. The first floor is a stunning vaulted open plan living space with a kitchen and dining area, sitting room and separate utility room and W/C. One of the main features of the first floor is a three-sided glass garden room which opens out on to a large sun terrace, looking down on to the surrounded fields and across to the vineyards and beautiful countryside.
A courtyard links the manor and the Coach House and includes a workshop, gym, storeroom, boiler room and boot room.
Gardens and grounds
Voakes Manor is set in approximately five acres with beautifully stocked formal gardens, two paddocks with three stables, woodland, a sun terrace and secret garden. A large, gravelled patio runs along the length of the house with steps leading down to a lawn area interspersed with parterres. From this level a path leads down through a yew tree tunnel to a set of large wrought iron gates flanked by tall stone pillars and onto the woodland area. In addition, there is an orchard area, a secret garden dedicated to azaleas, rhododendrons and specimen trees, a charming sun terrace with sunken plunge pool and kitchen garden with raised vegetable planters and an area for outside cooking.
Location
West Chiltington has a village store and Post Office for daily needs, whilst a wider range of shopping may be found at Storrington which provides a very good range of local shopping including a Waitrose supermarket, cafes, restaurants, pubs and a selection of speciality shops and services.
Pulborough is approximately 3 miles away, where there is a main line station offering a regular service to London Victoria, with journey time from 72 minutes, and also direct rail links to Gatwick. More extensive shopping, leisure and cultural amenities may be found at Chichester and Horsham. The A29 and A24 provide the north-south links for London and the M25.
There is a choice of good schools within reach including Windlesham House, Dorset House, Great Ballard, Seaford College and Slindon College among others. Recreational opportunities include golf at a number of clubs within easy reach including West Sussex, polo at Cowdray Park, racing and flying at Goodwood, gliding at Storrington and sailing at Chichester.
In addition, the RSPB centre at Pulborough Wild Brooks is a superb venue for birdwatching or simply walking the woods and wetlands. The area benefits from a network of footpaths and bridleways linking you into the nearby South Downs National Park.
