Detached house for sale in Stopham, Pulborough, West Sussex RH20

Church House is a stunning example of a property all too rare in prime West Sussex. The original part of the house is believed to be Georgian, with later Victorian additions. As one might expect from a property of this era, Church House is blessed with excellent ceiling heights throughout, and the large sash windows allow the house to be flooded with natural light throughout the day. A quintessential country house, Church House features a large, galleried hallway, well-proportioned principal rooms and many original period features.

The principal rooms of the property face south and offer wonderful far-reaching views towards the south downs, over the vineyards of the Stopham Estate.

Outside, Church House is approached via a gravel drive to a parking area in front of the house. This drive then continues to the side of the house to the rear where the barn, stables, outbuildings, swimming pool, tennis court and manège are located. The immediate gardens and grounds are mainly laid to lawn with some mature shrub borders and hedging with climbing roses and wisteria on three sides of the house, and the elevated position ensures that the property benefits from stunning views in all directions.

A beautiful building, the old stone barn with adjoining stable building and cart shed is a real asset to the property. Currently used as a party barn and for storage, this building would lend itself particularly well to conversion into a guest cottage or equally a gym, home office or studio, to suit the needs of the incoming purchaser.
