Stunning home

With elegant proportions, and set in stunning grounds, a fine Grade II Listed family home (5,814 sq ft) centrally located within this popular Sussex village of Oving.

Formally a vicarage, St Andrews House was designed by John Elliot and constructed in 1839. Today the property is presented to a very high standard throughout though still maintaining handsome Victorian features including elevations of galleted Sussex flint.

With generous proportions and high ceilings, the house offers adaptable living space including an impressive drawing room, with marble fireplace and a fine bay of floor to ceiling windows. Also is a reception hall, elegant dining room, both an informal and formal study/sitting room and kitchen family room. The first floor provides an impressive landing with the master bedroom suite leading off, with dressing room and stunning bath and shower room. Guest accommodation (en suite) is also provided on the first floor, with views towards St Andrews Church, and a further bedroom (also en suite) is located behind. The second floor currently offers four bedrooms and a bathroom (though this could be easily converted to provide a good size apartment for a family member or nanny). The lower floor has a cinema/games room and plenty of additional storage.
