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.
