Property description
Dating back to 1900, the property is the major portion of a country estate house, built for Col Robert Helm, a wealthy landowner and barrister. The property is not listed.
Offering over 4,500 sq ft of living accommodation set over three floors, the main house feels surprisingly light and airy, with several rooms featuring stunning views across farmland to the South Downs.
Superb carvings detail the oak staircase and imposing central fireplace of the dining hall, with immense charm and character evident throughout this splendid residence.
Updated by the current owners, there is scope for further remodelling in order to comfortably provide space for multi-generational living. Two of the three bathrooms have been recently modernised and great care has been taken to maintain the beautiful stone mullion windows, wide oak panelled doors and attractive Victorian fireplaces.
Standing in large mature grounds, the property provides plenty of space for children to play and scope for adults relax or entertain, all within a few minutes' drive of Pulborough and Billinghurst mainline railway stations.
A range of independent and specialist shops, plus pubs, cafes, restaurants and a primary school are also to be found in Pulborough village, including two supermarkets.
What the Owner says:
We moved here from Surrey fifteen years ago and knew this would be our home the moment we saw it.
We love the rural location at the end of the private lane, surrounded by beautiful countryside and the far reaching views to three sides are simply stunning.
The ground floor rooms offer wonderful opportunities to entertain - we have sometimes dined with more than thirty of our family and friends in the grand hall - and they flow nicely out to the enclosed and private rear gardens.
