Storrington - Property Details REF: P0001a


Mentioned in the Domesday Book, the thriving village of Storrington is at the foot of the Downs in glorious Sussex countryside, with wonderful walks up to the South Downs. At this point there is no through traffic, with fields & farmland just along the lane. On the south side of the village, Church Street & Greyfriars Lane contain some fine period properties in mature garden surroundings, with St Mary's Church nearby as well as the local squash & tennis club. Local shops and traders in the village provide good everyday shopping, including banks, restaurants and community amenities. Local leisure activities include gliding at Parham, racing at Goodwood & Fontwell, 2 golf courses; and sailing from Chichester & Littlehampton harbours.

Surely one of the County's finest historic conversions, only 5 minutes from the village centre, and yet represents an oasis of calm between the village & the Downs. This stunning Victorian-Gothic style two storey house dates from 1930, converted & refurbished in 2002 by award-winning Michael Wilson Restorations Ltd. This has created a unique and entirely practical home, either as a main property or a retreat from the pressures of city life.

Principal rooms have carved stone fireplaces, several with tall mullioned windows looking out to the maintained gardens & fields beyond. With its 10 ft high beamed ceiling, the drawing room is outstanding, warmly oak panelled with a superb outlook through high stone mullioned windows. A bespoke magazine-style kitchen doubles as an informal dining room, leaving the beautiful oak-panelled dining room for more formal occasions. There are two beautiful bedroom suites in addition to the imposing master bedroom.

The house has its own outside terrace and a double garage nearby with loft storage & a washdown area. There is both satellite/TV and Bang & Olufsen hi-fi cabling, sophisticated lighting; and kitchen appliances by NEFF.

The property stands in 5 acres of private maintained parkland & grounds on the edge of the South Downs. Residents enjoy this exclusively, together with a private tennis court, quiet walled lily pond and elegant lawns.
