Description
Nestled in an elevated position on Arundel’s most sought-after street, Sun House is a distinguished townhouse dating back to the late 18th century, around 1780. Steeped in history, this home once welcomed famed artist John Constable, who painted local scenes like Arundel Castle and the Mill Stream during his stay. He also mentored his friend, George Constable, an Arundel brewer, in the art of painting within these very walls.
Offering accommodation over four floors, the property combines historical elegance with modern luxury, including a state-of-the-art German kitchen featuring a Lancanche Range. The home is rich in period details such as Georgian fireplaces, a stunning curved staircase, an expansive wine cellar with an antique majolica-tiled floor, sanded wood floorboards, intricate picture rails, decorative cornicing, custom door frames, and vintage burnished radiators.
On the ground floor, the accommodation includes a generous kitchen adjacent to a spacious laundry room. There is a cosy living room to one side of the home and a formal living room to the other. A beautiful ornate staircase leads to the first floor which features three bedrooms, one of which is the principal bedroom, as well as a spacious dressing room. Moving up to the second floor, are four further bedrooms and a family bathroom completes the accommodation on this floor.
There are also several outbuildings and additional spaces, including a cellar, a detached garage with a greenhouse attached, a separate larger garage, and storage spaces of various sizes, not shown in the main floor plan orientation.
The outdoor space is a highlight, featuring a beautifully landscaped walled garden with a raised terrace, lush greenery, and raised vegetable beds. Artisan mosaic pathways meander through to a secluded secondary garden and a bespoke Victorian summerhouse crafted by Alitex. The garden also includes convenient rear access and is complemented by two double garages, providing both charm and functionality to this remarkable historic residence.
