THE PROPERTY

A beautifully presented Grade II Listed period home occupying a lovely 0.45 acre elevated plot providing lovely views across the South Downs National Park. The original house is believed to date from the early Elizabethan period with extensions providing a spacious open plan living/kitchen with additional bedrooms on the first floor. The welcoming sitting room has an inglenook fireplace and a wealth of oak ceiling and wall beams, and there is a study at the western end. There is a part-galleried first floor landing leading to five bedrooms, some with glorious views and two separate bathrooms. The house sits in a plot approaching half an acre and has been completely redesigned by the current owner to take advantage of the passage of the sun, creating hard landscaped seating areas, hideaways and views. There is a double garage with studio room above at the front of the property and single garage to the rear. Warningcamp is an idyllic hamlet on the fringes of Arundel in an area of outstanding natural beauty, within the beautiful South Downs National Park. It is surrounded by some of the most beautiful countryside in West Sussex making it popular for walking, cycling, horse riding, bird watching and other country pursuits. There is a wide choice of sporting and recreational activities locally including horse racing at both Goodwood and Fontwell Park, numerous golf courses, sailing at Littlehampton and Chichester Harbour. The charming historic market town of Arundel is lined with antique shops, boutique shops, cafes, restaurants and an historic castle, priory and cathedral. The mainline railway station provides regular service to Gatwick Airport and London Victoria, whilst there are excellent road links between Worthing, Brighton and Chichester.
