Country mansion with pool

Dating back to 1913, the house retains much of its fine Arts and Crafts architectural integrity, with many original features, including carved oak joinery, oak floors and wall panelling, and some magnificent fireplaces. This newly renovated house boasts high ceilings and an abundance of character and charm throughout. Each room has been meticulously updated to the highest standards, ensuring both elegance and comfort. The principal reception rooms and bedrooms face due south at the rear of the house, with distant views to the South Downs. At the heart of the home lies a beautifully appointed kitchen, complemented by a spacious dining room, and ten generously sized bedrooms. The lower ground floor features an impressive entertainment suite, complete with a pool table, bar, cinema room, wine cellar, and a dedicated art studio, providing multiple shoot options throughout. Set within approximately nine acres of meticulously landscaped gardens, it is approached via a long drive that sweeps to a large turning circle. The house is surrounded on all sides by established landscaped gardens with many beautiful trees. To the west, a stone wall featuring an arched, rose-clad, wrought iron gated entrance, encloses an impressive paved sunken Rose garden. The property also includes a swimming pool and pool house, which features a fully equipped kitchen, an open-plan living and dining area, and a self-contained flat above. Conveniently located just eight minutes from Haywards Heath station, this property offers direct train services to London in approximately 35 minutes and is under an hour's drive from London. There is parking for multiple vehicles available on the drive.
