5 bed detached house for sale

Greatham Lane, Greatham RH20

Quell Farm House is a truly outstanding property. The house has been the subject of considerable restoration, including extension and remodeling, to provide an extremely comfortable and charming home. The accommodation is full of character and is presented in very good order throughout. In the older original part of the house, the charming double aspect sitting room has an open fireplace with log burner, and the dining room, also double aspect, has French doors out to the surrounding terrace.
There is a wide welcoming entrance hall and the extended kitchen is a notable bright and spacious room. The kitchen features bespoke cabinetry and storage, a large kitchen island and breakfast bar, and an Aga. It is open-plan to a magnificent orangery, currently furnished for informal dining, but could equally be another family sitting room area. The views from here are spectacular, overlooking the gardens, the river, and to The South Downs. Two sets of French doors give access directly out to the south and west facing terraces.
Upstairs, the main bedroom suite is luxuriously appointed with a spacious dressing room and separate walk-in wardrobe, and a beautiful ensuite shower room. There are three further bedrooms and two bath/shower rooms (1 ensuite), with the fifth bedroom being on the lower ground floor, with French doors opening to the swimming pool terrace.
Throughout, evident attention to high end design and interior detail results in a wonderfully comfortable home with a welcoming atmosphere of well-appointed informality.

Outside

The house is approached via a private drive towards the end of a quiet farm driveway and there is plenty of parking on a wide turning circle in front of the double garage. The garage is a modern building with 2 sets of double doors, a separate secure machine store, and an excellent storage loft above.
The gardens surround the house, with a substantial paved terrace wrapping around to take advantage of the various sun-trap areas for out door dining and to enjoy the different views. There is a large level lawn to the south west. From the kitchen, the terrace overlooks the swimming pool area. Steps lead down to where the pool is sheltered by stone walls, with a gate out to the garden beyond. The views over the river from the terrace above are exceptional.
The grounds descend someway to a large expanse of foreshore riverbank. In all there are about 7.7 acres.
