Ost Worldham

An attractive unlisted period home with excellent outbuildings and beautiful views set in just over 3 acres.
The Property
There is a fantastic feel as soon as you step into the grand entrance hall, bursting with character with exposed beams and an impressive inglenook fireplace. To the left there is a large drawing room, part of a 1950s extension, which is light and bright with a bay window and door onto the garden. Beyond this there is a garden room and utility/boot room with a side door. To the right of the historic entrance hall there is a dining room with a log burning stove set into the grand fireplace, wooden beams and a bay window to make the most of the views out to the garden. The open plan kitchen/breakfast room is well fitted with a separate pantry. TFour staircases lead to the first floor where there are six bedrooms. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, set above the drawing room with fitted wardrobes, an ensuite bathroom and views over the garden and neighbouring farmland. Whilst the property requires some modernisation, it offers fantastic flexible accommodation and excellent potential to create a truly exceptional family home.
Outside
Outside the garden and grounds are particularly spectacular. A pretty terrace is encased by colourful beds and extends the width of the house before meeting a level expanse of lawn. At the bottom of the garden, there is a well-established orchard of fruit trees. To the side of the house, there is a vegetable garden, greenhouse, large outbuilding and a further shed. Beyond this there is a large paddock set into the hillside with prime views of St John’s Hill. To the front of the house, a driveway leads to a large circular parking area for several cars, whilst a separate driveway leads down to the large double garage with workshop above and further parking. In all, a fabulous set up for keen gardeners, children or animals to enjoy and a haven for wildlife.
