Dating from the 16th and 19th centuries, the property combines fabulous historic character and charm with modern conveniences and luxurious additions. Period features include inglenook fireplaces, a number of exposed timbers, two priest holes, a flagstone floor in the reception hall and beautiful oak panelling in the sitting room. The house offers generous family accommodation, with particularly large room sizes and unusually high ceiling heights and natural light for a house of this age.
Springlands is a versatile home that combines cosy and comfortable family life with a capacity to host entertaining on a grand scale. There is also excellent potential (subject to all consents) to convert two of the four large attics into a further en-suite bathroom and a sixth bedroom or childrens den. The floorplan gives a comprehensive overview of the full extent of the accommodation and its layout, but there are a number of points worthy of particular note.
The studded oak front door opens to an impressive part-panelled reception hall with a working inglenook fireplace. There are a further three characterful reception rooms including panelled sitting room with parquet floor and a second working inglenook fireplace as its focal point, a separate cosy family room and a versatile gym.
The superbly appointed kitchen, dining and family room forms the hub of the home and is fitted with a range of bespoke cabinetry and a central island, with granite worktops, integrated appliances and a Rangemaster oven. There is ample space for a large dining table and sofas, and a square bay set with French doors at the Southern end of the room perfectly frames the views of the gardens and lakes to the South Downs in the distance. A cloakroom, boot room, utility room and laundry room complete the ground floor. Back to listing

Hidden from the road, the house is approached through a pair of wrought iron gates mounted on brick pillars which open to a long driveway leading up to the house and passing the land.Dating from the 16th and 19th centuries, the property combines fabulous historic character and charm with modern conveniences and luxurious additions.
