The Property
Wellingham House is an impressive Georgian Manor House, nestled on a small country lane with uninterrupted views of the South Downs.

Wellingham is accessed at the front via a sweeping front drive with separate entrances. The approach from Wellingham Lane is most impressive, there is a pillared, front entrance with an impressive magnolia grandiflora arching over the doorway. The front elevation also boasts two large wings that were added to the property in 1960 by Raymond Erith in a 19th century style.
On the ground floor, the front door leads you past the two large wings hosting two receptions rooms, a study and a drawing room, guiding you through to the central staircase serving the first and second floors. Beyond the staircase, there is a large kitchen/diner that provides immediate access into the mature, private gardens.
On the first floor, the master bedroom is the centrepiece offering a large dressing room and ensuite bathroom. There are a further two, large double, bedrooms with ensuites. There is also a music room.
On the second floor, there are three large double bedrooms and a family bathroom.
