Primmers

In an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, a handsome, detached period house of quality, surrounded by colourful, landscaped gardens. Although with origins dating back to the late eighteenth century, over time there have been
various changes and additions made resulting in the property now presenting as a charming country house in the Sussex farmhouse style. Exteriors are of mellow brick with tile hanging at first floor level, under a pitched tiled roof with imposing chimneys. During the period of their
ownership, our clients have carried out a comprehensive and extensive refurbishment including a new roof and tile hanging, new windows, replumbing and rewiring as well as extending the property in a sympathetic manner,
reimagining the space and styling the interiors with
care, whilst ensuring the inclusion of twenty-first century technologies. Extending to in excess of 6,200 square feet – excluding the cellars – the wonderfully spacious accommodation is laid out over three floors and includes elegant reception rooms and a superb kitchen/breakfast/casual dining room. Polished oak floors, some exposed beams, an easy rising oak staircase and
oak fronted internal doors are complimented by Cat 6 wiring, underfloor heating in the kitchen, gas central heating, pressurised hot and cold water systems, 3 phase electricity and the wall and roof insulation has been upgraded to a high standard. There are a variety of fireplace styles with those in the drawing and sitting rooms and study having wood burning stoves. The kitchen/breakfast room is a wonderfully open and airy space, filled with natural light through floor to ceiling glazing and a
large lantern light. Furnished with handcrafted cabinets, there are granite work surfaces and integrated appliances by Miele together with a gas Aga plus companion.
Arranged off a wide landing, the first floor is given
over to five excellent bedrooms, which include the
principal suite with a fully fitted dressing room and a wonderful en-suite bath/shower room. A shower room and bathroom service the other bedrooms, whilst the second floor has two further bedrooms and a shower room. Throughout the house, there is plenty of spacious storage, from the two cellars and dedicated store room, to the loft and eaves spaces.
Outside

Approached via a pair of hardwood, automated
gates, opening on to a sweeping drive, which leads to a parking and turning area in front of the house and on to the garaging. The gardens themselves extend to approximately 1.2 acres and surround the property.
Extensive Indian sandstone terracing adjoins the house on three sides and there are large areas of well-tended lawn bordered by well-stocked, colourful herbaceous borders and a rose garden. An area of light woodland has mature trees and rhododendrons. Oak framed, heritage style garaging provides covered parking for two cars with electric car charging point and there is
a secure workshop/store room.
