ABOUT THE PROPERTY

Oakleigh House represents a most unique property package surrounded by open countryside with no immediate neighbours located just 1 mile from the very sought after village of Chittlehampton. This home has underdone significant renovation & enlargement by the current vendors providing beautifully presented and extremely spacious five/six bedroomed accommodation incorporating a one bedroomed annexe, which has been successfully let in recent years providing a healthy income or may cater for dual occupancy needs.

Oakleigh House is approached from the country lane via two gated private entrance driveways enabling the option to divide the entrances between house and annexe. The main sweeping drive leads through the adjoining land to large parking areas and outbuilding comprising car ports, garaging and workshops. Adjoining the property are lawned gardens and an impressive paved patio. In all, Oakleigh House extends to just over 2 acres. The main garden extending to 0.66 of an acre and the adjoining paddock extending to 1.35 of an acre.

The accommodation which benefits from a ground source heat pump, double glazing and has been refurbished to a high standard comprises; entrance porch, hallway with cloakroom off and stairs to first floor. The hall leads through to a large open plan space with two chimneys part dividing the three areas, the kitchen/dining and most impressive living space with two sets of wide bi-folding doors and containing a double sided woodburning stove. Also leading off the hall is a sitting room with feature fireplace, a utility room and access to the adjoining office, workshop and large heated garage which contains the ground source heat pump complete with electric roller door, providing a versatile space. There is a lintel fitted between the sitting room and first workshop area which could provide scope to further enlarge the accommodation, if required.

A secret bookcase door from the dining area leads through to a snug/cinema room which could become a further ground floor bedroom. This also leads to the adjoining one bedroomed annexe with its own kitchen and en-suite shower room. The annexe benefits from a private garden and separate driveway.

On the first floor is a master bedroom suite complete with dressing room and en-suite bathroom together with three further good sized bedrooms and a smart family bathroom. The landing provides access to the large balcony enjoying views over the gardens and countryside beyond creating a superb outdoor entertaining space.

THE GARDENS & LAND

The driveway provides a significant amount of parking and turning which leads to all sides of the property. Adjoining the main parking area is a wash bay space and a exceptionally large ‘L’ shape range of timber constructed car ports, garaging and workshop rooms with the two main sections benefitting from electric roller doors. It is thought that part of these buildings could be utilised as stabling in conjunction with the land. Located in the corner of the garden area is a mobile home with residential permission under a certificate of lawful use to be sited and occupied. It is thought that this may provide potential for replacement, if required, to suit family or provide further a income opportunity.
Attractive south facing lawned gardens adjoin the dwelling with a variety of established trees as a backdrop, wrapping around a most attractive paved patio area.

The enclosed pasture land adjoins the gardens all enjoying privacy and seclusion. Contained in the top corner is a 4KW array of ground mounted solar PV panels providing an income with on demand use of electricity. In all, Oakleigh House extends to about 2.01 acres.
