Listed home with exceptional downland views

Mallowes Farm is a stunning Grade II listed property with formal gardens and a meadow is nestled in the midst of the South Downs in Upwaltham.

The property, in Drake Lane, has been significantly improved by the current owners since they bought it in 2002 and has potential for equestrian use.

Believed to have been two cottages at one stage, the house retains some original features such as the bread ovens, but it has been sympathetically modernised with a high quality and stylish finish throughout.

The ground floor has an entrance hall and vestibule, two generous reception rooms and a study.

The kitchen/diner has a vaulted ceiling, large AGA, solid wood units and a mixture of Miele and NEFF appliances.

In addition there is a dining area with benches modelled from old church pews.

The utility room, with a range of Miele fridges and freezers, leads off the kitchen and into the conservatory which doubles up as a useful boot room.

The master bedroom has built-in wardrobes and a stylish Lefroy Brooks en-suite bathroom with a claw bath and a shower cubicle.

There is a guest bedroom with en-suite and a further first floor bedroom with a Jack and Jill bathroom.

The second floor has two good size bedrooms and a shower room.

There is also a useful studio with a shower room, kitchenette and heating which is currently used as an art room but could double up as further accommodation.

The range of outbuildings includes a former garage which is used as a play room, and three large sheds.

The property is located within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the South Downs National Park.

Nearby Goodwood is famous for its many event days including the world renowned Festival of Speed and Goodwood Revival and a season of horse racing.

The cathedral city of Chichester is approximately eight miles away and offers excellent high street shopping, many fashionable restaurants, cafes and bars, the Festival Theatre and a mainline station to London Victoria.

The area is a paradise for wildlife enthusiasts, with beautiful walks and cycle tracks over the South Downs and numerous bridleways.

Guide Price £1,350,000.
