Barnham Court

Posted on Sun, 9 Jun 2024 by KiM

Built in the first half of the 17th Century it was likely commissioned by a rich merchant… The interior has many unique architectural features extending to some 6,400 sq ft and has been the subject of a roof-to-cellar award winning program of restoration, creating a home of authentic, historical character complemented with 21st Century modern comforts. It has 5 reception rooms, 5 bedroom suites, a guest cottage, courtyard buildings and a pool. Anglo-Dutch parterre gardens have golden sand pathways leading through symmetrical lawns and avenues of buxus topiary designs against a backdrop of handsome evergreen oaks and other ornamental trees.
This West Sussex stunner would require some saving up to purchase (£3,750,000 eeekkkk) but WOW this is a majestic home that needs no work (except maybe a bit in the kitchen). For sale via Jackson-Stops.

There is a former mill, caretaker’s cottage, a chapel, a park, several bridges, a moat and an old garden kitchen.
This one is gorgeous inside and out. A bit on the large size but for €1,696,545 it’s a steal! For sale via Le Nail.
