Full description

Originally constructed in the 1950s by the Church of England, The Old Vicarage is an elegant detached family home that perfectly blends period charm with contemporary comfort. Having been thoughtfully extended and beautifully maintained by the current owners, the property is presented in immaculate condition throughout and occupies a peaceful position with delightful views across the rear garden and open countryside beyond.

Upon entering, you are greeted by a spacious and welcoming entrance hall, setting the tone for the generous proportions that continue throughout the house. The heart of the home is an impressive open-plan kitchen, breakfast, and family room, designed with both style and practicality in mind. A striking feature skylight bathes the room in natural light, while double doors open seamlessly onto the rear terrace, creating an ideal space for family living and entertaining.

The bespoke kitchen is fitted with Corian worksurfaces and a comprehensive range of high-quality Miele appliances, including an oven, grill/microwave combination, warming drawer, and integrated dishwasher. The room also features a breakfast bar, perfect for informal dining, and an inviting dining area with ample space for a large table and chairs. Custom-built cabinetry provides excellent storage and display space, adding both functionality and elegance.

From the family area, double doors lead through to a magnificent dual-aspect reception room with a characterful bay window and gas-effect fireplace, creating a warm and welcoming ambiance. This is a versatile space, perfect for entertaining guests or enjoying quiet evenings with the family. Adjoining this room is a sun lounge / study, featuring fitted shelving and storage, and French doors that open directly to the garden, ideal for home working or relaxing with a book.

Upstairs, a light and airy landing leads to a beautifully proportioned principal bedroom suite, complete with a stylish ensuite shower room, generous built-in wardrobes, and far-reaching views over the rear garden and adjoining meadow. Two further spacious double bedrooms provide excellent family accommodation, complemented by a contemporary family bathroom featuring a walk-in shower and a luxurious steam room with spa-style facilities.

The property enjoys a southerly-facing rear garden, designed for both relaxation and outdoor entertaining. A large non-slip terrace provides ample room for outdoor furniture and al fresco dining, while the main garden area is laid to lawn and bordered by mature trees and shrubs, including majestic beech trees and vibrant rhododendrons, creating a tranquil and secluded backdrop.

Additional features include underfloor heating to the ground floor, a ground floor cloakroom/WC, and ample storage space throughout. The property also benefits from a large gated gravel driveway, providing extensive off-road parking, and a boarded loft with ladder access, offering excellent storage or potential for conversion, subject to the necessary consents.

Why live in Midhurst?

Midhurst lies on the River Rother, just 12 miles north of Chichester, and has the remarkable claim to fame of being the home of British polo thanks to the Cowdray Park Polo Club on the local Cowdray Estate, but there’s so much more to this pretty market town. It’s centuries old, boasting more than 100 listed buildings with a charming mix of medieval, Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian architecture that sits comfortably alongside more contemporary new homes.

The narrow lanes of Midhurst’s old town offer a fantastic variety of places to shop with an abundance of small independent boutiques all housed in ancient buildings. There are plenty of places to dine in and around the town centre, too, with options ranging from up-market restaurants specialising in local produce to high street favourites and charming tearooms where you can enjoy your favourite afternoon treat.

You’ll also find plenty to do here – when you’re not engaged in polo, fly-fishing or clay pigeon shooting on the Cowdray Estate, you could head over to the Cowdray Golf Club to enjoy some of the most scenic views in West Sussex and get involved with one of the many other clubs and societies that use it as a base. You’ll find a local camera club, the Midhurst Players, the Gardening Club and in August you could join in with the ten days of fun at the Midhurst Music, Arts and Dramatic Festival, ‘MADhurst’. There’s never a dull moment here!

As far as family life goes, we have many well-regarded schools in and around the area, all with strong Ofsted reports and excellent reputations, including Midhurst C of E Primary and Midhurst Rother College, which, between them, cater for pupils from age four to 18.
