Welcome to a luxurious and contemporary country retreat nested in the heart of the South Downs at the delightful King Edward VII Estate near Midhurst West Sussex.

This superb five-bedroom detached house offers an impressive 3,578 sq ft of outstanding accommodation divided over three floors, with thoughtfully designed sleek interiors blending modern living with the timeless woodland surrounds.

Approaching the property by a generous driveway with parking for up to five cars,  the front gardens are mainly laid to lawn with attractive shrubs and small trees.

Entering into a spacious hallway, you immediately note the superior finish and size of the ground floor accommodation, with two superb reception rooms to the front of the property both with elegant bay windows, a separate formal dining room and a grand family sitting room.

From the hallway your eyes are drawn through to the superb kitchen, dining, family room with two sets of French doors leading out onto the extensive and recently landscaped raised terracing for dining and entertaining.  The black aluminium french doors open out onto the  wonderful terraced area and their design is such that the kitchen/dining space space is flooded with natural light and seamlessly blends the outdoors with the property interior.

There is a useful utility room just off the kitchen with sink and space for washer, dryer, and clothes hanging rails/storage shelving.

The kitchen boasts a superb central island with additional storage and wonderful breakfast bar.

There are views to the superbly landscaped and meticulous gardens and the verdant woodland trees beyond.

To the first floor there are two generously sized double bedrooms one with access to a rear balcony and these share a luxurious tiled family bathroom with bath, shower and tall, heated chrome towel rail, generous mirror and deep window shelf.

The sumptuous principal bedroom is stylishly comfortable with luxury ensuite and dressing room with his and her wardrobes. There are french doors leading onto a balcony which spans the length of the property and is a wonderful spot to enjoy a morning tea and read the papers or perhaps a glass of wine in the evening, with views to the woodlands beyond.

Furthermore to the second floor there are two spacious double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes and sharing a stylish tiled shower room, perfect for guests or visiting family to enjoy privacy.

The garden has been meticulously landscaped with thoughtful planting and seated areas. The patio weaves round towards the studio and once entering inside you can either go through to the double garage or up to the wonderful studio above. This space is useful as a gym/office or art studio or indeed as a separate guest bedroom from the main house. There is real flexibility in how the space can be used.

An additional feature of this garage annexe is a downstairs canine wetroom ideal for muddy paws coming in from the woodland walks that surround the property. This was installed by the current owner and is a wonderful benefit for dog owners!
