Set within approximately 2.5 acres of beautifully established grounds, with far reaching views across the West Sussex countryside, ‘Coombe Cross’ is an elegant early twentieth century country house that combines period character with the scale and sophistication of modern family living. Approached via wrought iron gates and along a sweeping driveway, the house has been thoughtfully restored to create a welcoming and refined interior with generous reception accommodation and a superb open plan kitchen/dining/family room forming the heart of the home. Well appointed with an extensive range of integrated appliances, this impressive space opens directly onto the substantial rear terrace creating a natural connection between indoor and outdoor living.

Outside, the beautifully maintained gardens provide a wonderful setting for relaxation and entertaining with manicured lawns, formal knot gardens and an extensive rear terrace complemented by an outdoor kitchen and heated swimming pool. A detached insulated studio currently arranged as a gym offers excellent versatility for use as a home office, creative studio or leisure space.
