Having been extensively refurbished, redecorated, and modernised to an impeccable standard, this property offers a bright and airy home with versatile living spaces across two floors.

The current owners have meticulously and recently transformed this charming home, particularly redesigning the ground floor to create a stunning, light-filled, double-aspect open-plan kitchen and dining room. This space, perfect for both family life and entertaining, features a central island, extensive storage, elegant Quartz worktops, Quooker tap and a beautifully tiled porcelain floor. French doors open onto an external terrace, blending indoor and outdoor living. A separate utility room complete with new boiler adds convenience, while double doors lead seamlessly into a spacious sitting room, where oak floorboards and a cosy log-burning stove create an inviting atmosphere. The large hallway provides access to a well-appointed study and a cloakroom, ensuring that the needs of a modern family are met.

A significant asset to the property is the self-contained annexe, complete with an ensuite shower room, kitchenette with integrated refrigerator and microwave, a private entrance and its own access to the rear garden. This space offers flexibility, whether used as independent accommodation or as ground-floor living for family and friends.

Upstairs, the property benefits from new carpeting throughout. The main bedroom features built-in wardrobes and the potential to add a bespoke ensuite bathroom. Two additional double bedrooms, both with built-in wardrobes enjoy views over the cricket pitch towards the South Downs, while a further double bedroom and a family bathroom with a walk-in shower and bath complete the accommodation.

The garden, which wraps around the house, offers a peaceful retreat with mature plants and shrubs. A large garden shed, bicycle and storage shed, and a carport to the side of the property, provide ample storage and covered parking.

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.
