Full description

A wing of a manor house situated in the hidden gem of a private estate, Hawkhurst court. East House forms part of a manor house and is located on the Hawkhurst Court estate in the heart of the Sussex Weald. Hawkhurst Court itself has had a varied past, including being the headquarters of troops during the Second World War. Later, Hawkhurst Court became an independent school and after its closure it was converted to private residential homes. The house and gardens have been lovingly looked after over the years and provides versatile space for a new buyer to put their mark on it. The high ceilings, large windows and view over the gardens are part of the characterful charm this house has to offer. The private driveway leads you to the front of the house with ample parking and a double car port with storage. The main reception room is a good size with patio doors leading outside and a large brick fireplace. The dining room is off the kitchen which provides ample space for a large dining room table and has potential to create a more open plan kitchen/diner if required. The study houses the 2nd staircase and another set of doors leading to a walled garden.From the main staircase there are three bedrooms, the main is on the first floor which has walk-through wardrobes and an en-suite shower room. On the second floor are two further bedrooms plus a bathroom. The staircase from the study leads to the final bedroom which is double aspect and looks over the gardens and has an en-suite shower room.Outside the garden has been well maintained, with plenty of shrubs and trees. The main part of the garden is to the front of the house, which is mainly laid to lawn with a large, paved terrace. At the bottom of the garden there is a useful workshop and greenhouse. From the study patio doors there is a further walled garden with a patio area and another walled garden to the side of the house which is mainly laid to lawn.

Why live in Storrington?

This picture-perfect village lies at the foot of the South Downs National Park, halfway along the South Downs Way. Properties here include bungalows, family homes and the famous Wells cottages that were individually designed by the architect Reginald Fairfax Wells in the 1920s to look and feel like 17th century buildings with thatched roofs, small windows and whitewashed exteriors.

Many of the homes in Storrington have wonderful views across rolling countryside and a conservation area just off the bustling high street ensures Storrington will remain as beautiful as it is today for generations to come.

There are lots of specialist shops in the town and convenient amenities such as the large recreational ground with its football and cricket pitches, the Chanctonbury Leisure Centre and an abundance of community groups offering classes in all sorts of interesting activities from ballroom dancing to photography. For a spot of culture, visit the Parham House and Gardens or the local Storrington and District Museum and for outdoor pursuits, take time to explore the natural beauty of the South Downs on foot, bike or horseback or, for a truly spectacular experience, take to the air in a glider.

Our local schools belong to a cluster group called STARS (Storrington Area Rural Schools) and, between them, offer a choice of paths from Reception through to Year 13. Steyning Grammar School is included in the list of STARS and is a popular choice as it’s non-selective and has its own Sixth Form.

Storrington is well connected too; the nearest train station is in the neighbouring village of Pulborough. The five-mile journey only takes 10 minutes by car or you can take a bus; the bus timetable is synced with the train timetable to make life even easier for local commuters.
