Description

Situated towards the end of a country lane, The Knoll House occupies a superb position with glorious views over adjoining farmland of the South Downs. Built, we understand, in 1898, the property has been significantly upgraded by the current owners, with recent additions such as a new kitchen as part of a comprehensive programme of refurbishment and redecoration.

Upon entering the property an inner hallway provides access to the principal reception rooms, all of which enjoy the very special vista towards the South Downs. These rooms include a sitting room, dining room, study and drawing room, all with elegant proportions, good ceiling heights throughout and fine detailing such as bespoke cabinetry, feature fireplaces and solid wood floors. A conservatory off the drawing room provides a very bright and useful space, again with delightful views. The kitchen has been recently fitted and has a range of bespoke units with space for range cooker and a walk in pantry. Double doors from the kitchen open out on to a charming sun terrace. The ground floor accommodation is completed by a utility room, storage cupboard and downstairs w/c.

To the first floor are four generous bedrooms, two of which are en-suite, along with a further family bathroom. All the bathrooms have been refurbished to a high specification by the current owners.

Externally, the grounds are delightful with a range of well stocked beds and borders along with numerous fruit and specimen trees, an ornamental pond and ample space for al-fresco entertaining. In addition there is an elevated “secret garden” to the rear with a large pergola and a gate leading onto woodland at the rear. As well as a garage there is ample parking along with a charging point for electric vehicles.
