Full description
Coast & Country by Henry Adams are proud to offer Quags Corner to the market - a privately commissioned residence of quite exceptional quality, built around a hand-crafted English oak timber frame and set in a commanding but quietly secluded position within the South Downs National Park.
From the moment of arrival — through a bespoke oak door beneath a carved stone Gothic arch flanked by leaded stained-glass panels — the standard of finish is unmistakable. Stone fireplaces, bespoke cabinetry crafted by a local carpenter, wide-plank oak flooring and a vaulted first floor galleried landing of real architectural drama all speak to a house conceived without compromise.
The kitchen is a particular highlight: a sweeping arrangement of hand-painted units with granite worktops set within the oak frame, centred on an Aga range beneath antique-finish pendant lighting. Upstairs, the principal bedroom suite offers a generous dressing room and en suite, with three further bedrooms, all en suite — served by the same vaulted landing that remains one of the most striking internal spaces in the area.
The lower ground floor sets the property apart entirely at this price level. A complete private leisure facility comprises a mosaic-tiled jacuzzi and sauna spa suite, a fully equipped gymnasium, a tiered cinema room with leather reclining seating, and a bar — all served by the internal passenger lift.
Outside, the landscaped gardens open to long, uninterrupted views across National Park countryside, with a pergola terrace, sweeping lawn and a detached outbuilding providing a double garage and additional room above.
Location

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.
