An 18th-Century Historic House with an Amazing Kitchen

Surrounded by a landscaped garden stands a beautiful mid-18th-century house with historical details and a guest house in the renovated barn. The 5,000-square-foot house is in the English countryside and features light-filled spaces and seven bedrooms.

The Georgian facade of the house is made of decorative brickwork in the Flemish garden wall style. The gardens include bordered lawns, a kitchen garden, and a fenced terrace with a heated pool. The country house is located close to the South Downs National Park, so it’s a perfect country escape.

Beyond the living rooms at the front of the house, you enter the former servant’s wing, which gives access to the spacious kitchen. This room used to be a barn and has been converted into a stunning kitchen, dining, and lounge with a pitched ceiling, exposed beams, and a fireplace.

The kitchen has a steel island and a white-painted solid timber kitchen paired with green tongue-and-groove paneling. 

There are several other rooms on the ground floor, including a pantry with a stone floor and green cabinets and a large utility room.

The original Georgian kitchen is transformed into a utility room with bright yellow British Standard cabinets, a work area, a beautiful York stone floor, and a large brick fireplace with tiles.

At the front of the house are two sitting rooms. The rooms feature the original floorboards painted in a muted blue shade. This room also has a Victorian bay window, making it a lovely dining area.

The second sitting room has French doors leading to the garden.

The bathroom has light pink tongue-and-groove paneling, a freestanding bath, and floor tiles with a wood look laid in a herringbone pattern.

One corner of the former barn is turned into a guest house with a private entrance.

The house is listed for £1,950,000 at Inigo
