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

Minsted is a small and peaceful hamlet on the northern fringe of the South Downs National Park, approximately two miles from the historic market town of Midhurst, with its independent shops, restaurants and the world-renowned Cowdray polo ground. Chichester lies around twelve miles to the south, and Haslemere station — with mainline services to London Waterloo in approximately one hour — is some eleven miles north. The West Sussex coast is within comfortable reach.

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.
