Property description

THE PROPERTY An iconic country residence set in the picturesque area of Slindon Common, within the South Downs National Park, which is just west of the historic town of Arundel, and a short drive from the cathedral city of Chichester. This fine country house dates back to 1936 and was built by the Booker Brothers, local builders with a reputation for building to exact standards, and with the highest quality materials. Mill House has recently undergone a robust schedule of updating and remodeling including the creation of a second wing to this impressive home and comes to the market for only the second time in over half a century.



The approach is via an electrically operated gated entrance, which opens into the sweeping carriage driveway. Mill House sits almost centrally in its 2.3-acre gardens and enjoys picturesque views over adjoining agricultural farmland on all aspects.



The property boasts accommodation in excess of 5300 SQ FT, which is divided over two floors. On entering the property there is a spacious entrance hall, which is dominated by the stunning central staircase rising to the first floor landing and rear balcony. There are 6 reception rooms to the ground floor including a fabulous play room, formal dining room, study, office and a summer sitting room boasting folding doors out to a south facing patio, and a winter drawing room enjoying a large central fireplace and views out across the pretty formal gardens. As well as the generous reception rooms there is a large utility room/boot room and a sensational kitchen breakfast room which spans almost the whole of the rear of the house with folding glass doors leading out to the gardens. The kitchen is fully fitted with top of the range appliances, Central Island and aga.



The first floor landing is very impressive and has numerous storage cupboards and access to the loft. As the stairs rise to the landing they split giving access to the rear balcony, which looks out over the gardens and surrounding paddocks.



From the landing there are 6 double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The master bedroom suite with dressing room and en-suite bathroom has double doors opening onto the rear balcony. Three of the additional 5 bedrooms benefit from en-suites, of particular note is the exceptional south facing guest suite with its luxury bathroom with dressing area.







The beautiful gardens surround Mill House containing a variety of rare shrubs and trees, including an early apple tree believed to be the foundation of many of our popular apple varieties today.



An Indian stone patio runs around the majority of the southeast corner of this sensational property. Combined with well thought through landscaping this has created several intimate seating areas all of which are incredibly private and offer unique garden vistas.



There are also a number of outbuildings including a Greenhouse and two detached Garages.



Throughout this fine country house great care has been taken during its recent modernisation to create a fully updated luxury home with top of the range fittings whilst retaining the character of this handsome property.

 

THE LOCATION The village of Slindon sits in a Conservation Area and is predominantly owned by the National Trust, which has preserved much of its character and charm. Situated between Arundel and Chichester, it is in close proximity to Forestry Commission woodland and many attractive country walks and bridle paths. There is a parish church and a village shop. The nearby villages of Barnham, Eastergate and Fontwell provide a good selection of local shops, whilst Chichester and Arundel and the provincial centres of Worthing and Brighton are within easy travelling distance by car, each with a very comprehensive range of shopping facilities.
