In the heart of the South Downs
Inside the 7-bed West Sussex house with its own woodland and paddock
This exceptional country house is set in the heart of the South Downs National Park in East Marden. Hill Barn is believed to date back to the early 1900s, but extended significantly in 1936 adding a further wing, with the property being further extended and completely renovated by the current owners. The property is of brick and flint construction under a handmade clay tile roof.
Of particular note is the stunning kitchen/breakfast room which leads into the conservatory. This space features a beautiful fitted kitchen by Guild Anderson with an island and a three-oven Aga with companion module. All of the works to the property have been completed to exacting standards with high quality of fixtures and fittings throughout.
The beautiful drawing room with its substantial fireplace and wood burner at its heart is perfect for entertaining year-round and is double aspect. There is also a large triple aspect formal dining room with its original floor.
Ceiling heights are generous throughout as one might expect from a property of this era and the general layout of accommodation has been exceptionally well considered to meet the needs of the modern family.
Outside, Hill Barn is entered through a mature beech hedge archway into a large gravel turning circle providing parking for several cars. The property also benefits from a secondary access leading to the barn style garage and working area of the house. The property sits well in a little over six acres of private gardens and grounds incorporating sun terraces, formal lawns, woodland and paddock. The grounds are well bounded by post and rail fencing which is presented in exceptional order. The property also benefits from a substantial kitchen garden and is being sold with the benefit of an existing planning consent for a stable block to the east of the main house.
Hill Barn, in East Marden, is on the market for £3,500,000 with Knight Frank on Zoopla.
