The Property
The Old Manor is a Grade II Listed detached property which has hardly been altered in over 60 years and so offers great potential to an incoming purchaser. The property is stone built under a clay tiled roof and has largely brick floors to the ground floor.
There are interesting areas to enhance, namely the cellar and large vaulted second floor which is accessible via a compact staircase. A large conservatory with a southern aspect running along the rear of the house provides further accommodation and a great outlook over the garden.
Outside is a studio annexe built in the 20th century which forms part of a large garage and even more interestingly a fascinating round house that could be an amazing entertaining space, art studio or study subject to the necessary consents.
The gardens have been largely laid to lawn interspersed with a variety of specimen and self-seeded trees. There are delightful open views over incredible downland countryside. There is an orchard to the front of the house and plenty of scope for parking a number of cars. There is a lovely terrace area which is orientated to the West.
Situated at the end of a rustic track on the fringes of the popular village of Sutton, its situation and outlook is as beguiling as its interior.
The Location
The Old Manor is located in the middle of the village of Sutton, a much sought after village within the South Downs National Park which has a back drop of the South Downs and offers beautiful countryside for walking and riding. The village has a Church, reputable public house, village hall and bowling green and has a vibrant active community.
The towns of Petworth and Pulborough are close by and provide for most everyday needs, whilst Guildford in Surrey and the Cathedral city of Chichester, both with renowned Theatres, are within easy reach and have more extensive shopping and leisure facilities.
The A3 provides fast access to London, the motorway network, Gatwick, Heathrow and Southampton airports, whilst the mainline station at Haslemere provides a fast service to London Waterloo and the station at Pulborough provides a service to Gatwick Airport and London Victoria.
There are excellent recreational facilities in the area with Polo at Cowdray Park, racing at Goodwood and Fontwell, golf at Cowdray Park, Goodwood, Pulborough and Liphook, motor racing at the Goodwood circuit and sailing out of Chichester Harbour and other centres along the South Coast. There are many footpaths and bridleways in the area for walking and riding.
