Pepper Hall

Pepper Hall is a charming Grade II listed Wealden Hall House, believed to date from 1625 with later additions. Characterised by beam and plasterwork and brick elevations under a part Horsham stone roof. The property presents many fine examples of classic period features such as exposed beams and whitewashed plaster walls, wood panelled latched doors and iron framed windows. The current owners have thoughtfully extended and refurbished Pepper Hall to now provide accommodation that meets modern standards of a young family. The property also adapts itself to the equestrian buyer as with such a delightful plot of 3.5 acres there is now planning permission in place for a sand school, stable block and separate driveway, REF: LW/21/1010

The property is well-presented throughout and arranged over three floors. With a downstairs bedroom and bathroom it adapts itself well to different family needs, details of the layout are found on the floorplan. The current owners have significantly and sympathetically improved the layout by extending the ground floor to create a stunning vaulted kitchen/breakfast room with granite surfaces and modern appliances including an AIMS Aga and large utility room.

The drawing room and dining room, both have original inglenook fireplaces fitted with wood burners along with lovely views across the east walled garden. To the south is a large vaulted reception room that is currently used as the family gym, adjoining here is a guest bedroom with a family bathroom located on the ground floor.

There are three bedrooms (one en suite), and a family shower room on the first floor. The attic has been converted to create a fabulous further bedroom which is an ideal area for children or teens to have fun with plenty of space a work area and built in wardrobes.

The property is well screened to the front by established trees, and bordered by trees and hedging ahead of fences. To the east is terrace leading to a walled garden; the pretty west courtyard has a reinforced glass covered well as a central feature, which pumps water to the garden. A classic tiered stone fountain is the centrepiece of the box-hedge parterre, beyond which lies a fully enclosed kitchen garden. From the kitchen, French doors open to a wooden bridge over the pond, leading to gate and the garden beyond. The remainder of the gardens are mainly laid to lawn, with an enclosed paddock with orchard and woodland to the north. There is an above ground heated swimming pool situated next to the timber machinery store; there are three further timber sheds and a greenhouse within the grounds.
