No. 4 The Engine House, King Edward VII Estate, Midhurst, West Sussex GU29

No. 4, The Engine House is the epitome of both tradition and modernity. With its high ceilings and industrial chic aesthetic, it strikes an enticing contrast and balance between ‘London-style loft’ and ‘country cottage’ living.

A great home for entertaining, this stylish three double bedroom home is arranged on two floors and offers private terraces and a 5,600 sq ft garden, further enhanced by lovely woodland views.

The spacious living area is flooded with natural daylight from its vast skylight which sits above original, restored iron roof trusses. 

With views of the surrounding gardens, the beautiful master bedroom is bright and spacious with an elegant en suite, large fitted wardrobes and a useful study or dressing space. 

Doors lead onto a private terrace, the perfect place to enjoy a morning coffee.

A flexible second bedroom has its own direct outside access and en suite, making it ideal for use as a guest suite or home office. 

The third bedroom benefits from generous storage and an adjacent luxurious bathroom.

Interiors reflect the period exterior of The Engine House and include a luxurious hand-made Ladbury kitchen in a dark grey finish with timber, in-frame doors which have a Victorian, hand-crafted feel.

Radiators, of cast iron, are traditional in style and large, lantern-style lighting complements the high ceilings.
