DESCRIPTION Occupying this outstanding rural location, Grinstead House Farm is an elegant Victorian country house, approached by a long private driveway off a quiet country lane midway between the villages of Cowfold and Patridge Green, providing comprehensive access to the A23/M23 and mainline rail services to London/Victoria. Set in 14.5 acres, the property incorporates equestrian facilities, stable block and agricultural barn, together with a secondary three bedroom cottage. Internal accommodation on the main house extends to 4586sqft with the four main principal rooms facing south with views over the gardens and field with sweeping views of the South Downs beyond. There are six bedrooms with the main having an en-suite, and a family bathroom, together with a superb open plan kitchen/breakfast room. Outside, there is extensive driveway parking and garaging. An expansive steel framed barn, currently in the early stages of a Class Q planning application, presents a fantastic opportunity for conversion into residential dwellings and thereafter potential New Build Homes for Grinstead House Farm.
