THE PROPERTY

The Glebe is an impressive and handsome detached country house built about 12 years ago, located in the heart of a highly desirable village within easy reach of Bosham sailing village and close to the South Downs. The house is set well within its own grounds peacefully tucked away, near the village centre and within a short walk to open countryside. The accommodation is particularly spacious and versatile with plenty of natural light throughout. Upon entering the house there is a most welcoming reception hall with a galleried landing above, creating a comfortable atmosphere with an immediate feeling of space. A door leads to the large kitchen/dining room, which has an excellent range of wall and base units with a large central island with polished granite works tops and quality built in appliances. From the reception hall, double doors open into the triple aspect sitting room, which features a fireplace and leads into a delightful triple aspect conservatory facing south with lovely views over the beautifully kept gardens and grounds. From the sitting room a door leads to the study, which has another door leading into the kitchen/dining room with a double aspect and plenty of natural light and doors to the garden. Double doors from the kitchen lead to a delightful garden room, which has an attractive atrium skylight and doors to the garden and there is a large utility/laundry room and an internal hallway connecting to the house to the garage. The spacious galleried landing has a large window overlooking the grounds to the front aspect and the landing leads to four double bedrooms, two of which have large en-suite shower rooms and there is a dressing room and family bathroom. A further staircase leads to the second floor galleried landing, a further bathroom and two large double bedrooms, both with double aspects, one of which has been used as a Media room. All bedrooms are bright with plenty of natural light. There is underfloor heating to the ground floor accommodation and bathrooms. The house has a built in GIRA smart home remote control lighting/heating system, controlled using a smartphone, tablet or PC. The design and layout of the accommodation is ideal for a large family or retirees and perfect for entertaining.



GARDENS & GROUNDS

The Glebe is approached via a small country lane, through a brick pillared entrance, serving two properties located beyond an impressive hand-crafted flint wall and hedge, over a long gravelled driveway. The gardens and grounds are beautifully kept with an expanse of level lawned areas which surround the house on all sides. The rear garden has a paved patio area with an east and southerly aspect accessed from the delightful Garden Room, Kitchen/Dining Room, Sitting Room and Conservatory. The large front garden is located to the west of the house, mainly laid to an expanse of level lawn with a number of trees and a gravelled driveway with parking space for at least 6 vehicles in front of the house and double garage. The well established gardens are beautifully designed and maintained and surrounded by open-weave fencing, climbing planting and neat hedges. A pretty ‘Finn Forest’ style timber Summer House, with lighting and power, is situated in a corner of the rear with its own small “sun trap” patio. The garden is enclosed by well kept and established hedging and panelled fencing partly concealed by an attractive Holly hedge. External lighting, power points and water taps are located at the front and rear of the house. In all, set in about 0.5 acres
