Description

Being beautifully positioned at the foot of the South Downs whilst only a short distance to the High Street and all the amenities of Storrington village, this stunning courtyard development offers over 4,000 sq.ft of accommodation, which has been finished to exacting standards. It boasts some of the finest views locally towards the South Downs National Park. This historical property, which is adjacent to the former St Josephs Convent and grounds, is believed to have been converted originally around 1979 by the previous owners. The current incumbents have retained some of the features that were so carefully planned in the original conversion to enhance and create a sizeable modern home, with all the luxuries you would expect for modern day living. The property is arranged over two floors and offers fantastic potential with the left-wing lending itself to be a self-contained annexe.

Measuring over 34 ft in total the kitchen shares the space with the living area with tiled flooring, and has incredible views to the rear through sliding patio doors which give access into the garden. Double doors lead into the dual apsect dining room and the family room can be accessed from here, which would make a fabulous annexe with plumbing and facilities for a kitchen as well as a WC and shower room.
