Coast & Country by Henry Adams present 'Chantry Mill', a beautifully renovated and presented Grade II listed farmhouse with a separate mill house situated on the very fringe of the South Downs National Park, having formal gardens, woodland and lake in all approximately four acres.
With origins likely to date back to the 16th Century and earlier the property has seen later Georgian and Victorian additions and was formally a water mill with a well-documented history. Today, the property is a beautifully renovated home with all the functionality of the 21st century. Numerous features of its history remain including polished brick flooring and the working inglenook fireplace in the sitting room as well as exposed timbers throughout. With over 3,700 sqft of internal floorspace the Georgian influence can be seen in well-proportioned rooms, particularly those to the front, on both levels. The kitchen has bespoke fitted units with separate dining and breakfast rooms leading off, both with external double opening doors to outside terrace areas. A large utility / boot room with a cloakroom leads into a studio. Double opening barn doors then open to an extensive terrace which leads through to the impressive pool area. On the first floor there are four bedrooms served by two stylishly fitted bathrooms, one being en suite and both very much in keeping with the nature of the house. Two cellars complete the main house along with an entrance cloakroom. Connected at ground level with its own access as well as an internal one from the main house, this separate dwelling provides an extensive amount of interesting and varied accommodation in its own right. With 1,950 sqft of floorspace over three floors there are two bedrooms and two bathrooms along with a sizeable kitchen / breakfast room and impressive sitting room on the middle floor. A further top floor sitting room has a timbered vaulted ceiling, wood burning stove and an external door allowing views and direct access to the lake. Distinctly different in appearance with a mellowed stone and flint front elevation the property displays its own character and charm with exposed wood flooring and an abundance of timbers. Heated by a separate gas boiler the property also has two integral ground floor store rooms with a cloakroom, accessed from the courtyard, and provides the opportunity for further accommodation if required.
