Guide Price £695,000

A substantial and beautifully presented wing of a country mansion situated in lovely setting on the edge of the pretty village of Warninglid. Hollingbury Court was once the country residence of a successful Brighton jeweller and was built on their instructions in 1881. The property we are offering here was part of a radical extension to the property in 1923. We believe it may have been requisitioned by the Canadian army during the second world war but it is probably best remembered for being a boys preparatory school until its closure and eventual conversion into several stunning individual residences in the late 1970's and early 1980's. Much of the style, character and features remain, particularly in Little Hollingbury. The property offers 4 excellent double bedrooms and 2 large bathrooms with a generous main drawing room with fireplace and high ceilings. The kitchen dining room is fitted in hand made cream painted units under luxurious granite work tops with an oak floor. A door leads to a lovely conservatory overlooking the garden. Stone mullions are another feature together with the leaded lights which give the building a real feel of the stately home. Outside is a pretty garden enclosed on all sides with a raised brick patio and a wonderful Scots pine. The property has full oil fired central heating to radiators. There is a parking space outside and further allocated parking in a nearby car park. The twin parking bays may have potential to build a double garage, subject to any required consents.
Situated a few hundred meters from the village crossroads and popular Half Moon pub restaurant, the village is renown for its beauty, both architecturally and the surrounding countryside. The A23 linking Brighton, Gatwick airport, Crawley and the M25 is a couple of minutes drive to the east. A wide range of shopping and mainline railway stations can be found in the county towns of Horsham and Haywards Heath both about 6 miles. A small monthly payment of £15 is paid by each of the 10 houses towards any roadway maintenance of the driveway.
"Fun fact" Hollingbury Court was once used in an episode of Only Fools and Horses and prime minister William Gladstone stayed at the house.
