Viewing is essential of this imposing former rectory that enjoys a tucked away setting adjacent to a 13th Century Church within the downland village of Chalvington. The property sits amidst park-like grounds that extend to approximately 1.4 acres (tbv) with a driveway that splits and leads around to the front of the house. The main house enjoys accommodation set out over three floors, approached over an impressive reception hall with an original staircase rising to the first floor, three reception rooms and an oak framed conservatory that takes full advantage of the gardens. At the heart of the house is a large kitchen/breakfast room with four oven AGA that opens into a utility with original brick paved floor. There are seven bedrooms set out over the first and second floors, some taking in views towards the South Downs and opposite the courtyard is an attached small one bedroom two storey annexe. The property retains a great deal of character and charm with bright and spacious rooms that incorporate period fireplaces, panelled doors and sash windows with shutters. There is also a small wine cellar. Outside the property is approached over a driveway that provides extensive parking. The parklike gardens wrap around the house, lying level and mainly laid to lawn, interspersed with a number of established trees taking in views over a neighbouring pond. There is a tennis court and a large detached period outbuilding that provides garage and storage, considered to offer potential, subject to any necessary consent.
Note: The property has private drainage and private water supply, although we understand a water connection to the mains is available.
