5 bedroom detached house for sale

Watergrove is a beautiful period country property which has been well cared for and much loved over the years; an exceptional family home in one of the most sought-after locations in the south of England. The property benefits from extensive accommodation over two floors which, with its large windows and elevated position, allows the property to be flooded with natural light throughout the day. A real highlight of the property is the kitchen/breakfast room with French doors leading out onto the sun terraces and gardens beyond, and a four-oven Aga making this space a homely heart to the house. Another real highlight is the principal bedroom suite. The space here is double aspect and provides wonderful views over the immediate grounds and the surrounding West Sussex countryside. Outside, Watergrove can boast one of the most beautiful and tranquil approaches that one may see to any country house. Entered via a five-bar gate, the property is accessed via a sweeping gravel driveway with a post and rail fenced paddock to the left and formal gardens to the right as you approach the turning area leading up towards the main house, around which lie the garage and stable. The grounds surrounding the property are mainly laid to lawn with some established shrub borders and beautiful mature specimen trees. The land falls away towards Cook's Pond, a notable landmark in the Milland Valley, with the entire property being bounded by a mature green screen affording excellent privacy. A field with a field shelter is bounded by post and rail fencing and is currently used for the grazing of sheep. Further to this, the grounds feature a greenhouse and tennis court which complete the land holding.
