Bidlington, Steyning
This elegant Georgian house retains its distinctive character but also boasts some impressive modern additions to fall in love with including a stained-glass window, a master bedroom with jacuzzi bath ensuite and dressing room – and even a heated double garage.
Inside
Nestled behind a flint and brick wall and a set of double gates at the southern end of the high street in the pretty West Sussex village of Steyning is this rather grand five-bedroom house. Large enough for a family and for entertaining, it has two reception rooms, utility room, a large kitchen diner that leads onto the garden, a galleried landing and a large ensuite bedroom on the ground floor for guests.
Outside
There is a professionally landscaped walled garden to the front of the house which offers a secluded retreat with its various terraces, bordered by mature trees and shrubs. The heated double garage has automatic doors and there is further parking for three more vehicles. The village, just north of the South Downs, is surrounded by countryside for picturesque walks and plenty of fresh air.
