The Property
Bayleaves is a substantial family house, situated on the edge of the village of Bepton and within walking distance of the town of Midhurst. The property has been in the same ownership for nearly fifty years and offers an incoming purchaser the opportunity to modernise and reconfigure, subject to the necessary consents.

A welcoming porch leads into an impressive triple aspect sitting room, where large windows provide excellent natural light and a open fire place creates a focal point. The sitting room opens directly into a conservatory, providing a further versatile reception space with views towards the garden.

There is a separate dining room, ideal for family meals and entertaining, together with a kitchen, useful utility room and cloakroom. The utility room provides direct access to the substantial double garage, which includes a car inspection pit- an unusual and valuable feature for car enthusiasts, workshop use or additional storage. There is a rear porch off the kitchen which houses a lift to the first floor.

Above the garage is a large games room / office, providing considerable flexibility. This part of the property could potentially be transformed into an annexe or independent living accommodation, subject to the required consents, making it particularly attractive for multi-generational living, guests, a home business or additional income potential. The garage also has the benefit of solar panels on the roof.

The first floor offers a generous main bedroom with its own en-suite shower room. Three further bedrooms are served by a family shower room, while a separate study provides an ideal dedicated home working environment or hobby room.

This is a property where the opportunity is as compelling as the accommodation itself. While requiring comprehensive modernisation, the house offers the space and flexibility to create a truly individual home.

Gardens and Grounds
The gardens are a particular feature of the property and are stocked with a variety of mature shrubs and specimen trees. The front and rear gardens are both a good size and provide plenty of scope for landscaping, entertaining and family use. There is a driveway for several cars. The gardens currently include two greenhouses and a garden shed, offering excellent facilities for keen gardeners, together with useful additional storage.

The Location
The village of Bepton is located in the South Downs National Park and has a country house hotel with leisure facilities and a church and is surrounded by open countryside with many footpaths and bridleways in the area for walking straight from the property.

The town of Midhurst is one mile away and provides for most everyday needs with a selection of good primary schools close by and Midhurst Rother academy within walking distance. Guildford in Surrey and the Cathedral city of Chichester, both with renowned Theatres, are within easy reach and have more extensive shopping and leisure facilities. The A3 provides fast access to London, the motorway network, Gatwick, Heathrow and Southampton airports, whilst the mainline station at Haslemere provides a fast service to London Waterloo.

Midhurst and the surrounding area have much to offer with Polo at Cowdray Park, racing at Goodwood and Fontwell, golf at Cowdray Park, Goodwood, Pulborough and Liphook, motor racing at the Goodwood circuit and sailing out of Chichester Harbour and other centres along the South Coast. There are many footpaths and bridleways in the area for walking and riding.
