Quarry House was designed by renowned architect H. Inigo Triggs during the interwar period (1914-1918).
Diligently maintained to a high standard by our clients and enhanced during their ownership, the property presents as a rare opportunity to acquire an exceptional family home in a superb location within the South Downs National Park. Recent improvements include replacing most of the windows throughout, adding a tennis court and car barn, renewing the private drainage system (2024), and remodelling the gardens with a garden designer (2023).
The house features plentiful reception rooms, with engineered oak flooring in several, and include a large drawing room with an open fireplace under a wonderful circular window (an architectural feature of Triggs during the Arts and Crafts movement), an attractive kitchen with an oil-fired AGA at its heart, window seat, and a breakfast/dining room in a semi-open plan arrangement which is surrounded by windows and flooded with light throughout the day. Adjoining the kitchen is a walk-in pantry, utility room, and a back door leading to the garden. Further to the ground floor are a snug with a log burner, a study, and a rear hall/boot room.
Upstairs there are five double bedrooms, one en suite, a family bathroom with underfloor heating, and an office. All the rooms enjoy wonderful views around the property, good ceiling heights, and the majority benefit from built-in wardrobes or cupboards.
To the outside, the property sits in a plot of about an acre of formal gardens and grounds. Various terraces are strategically dotted around the house and grounds making the most of the sun throughout the day. The tennis court, constructed in 2010 is located at the rear of the garden and flanked on three sides by mature trees and hedging. Further to the outside are cutting and vegetable gardens, Rhododendron, Magnolia, acers, azaleas, a perennial flower meadow, mixed borders. Practically speaking the gardens further benefit from two stores in addition to the storage provided by the car barn. Notably, the barn is ready fitted with a power supply should an electric car charger be required.
