Marwell Farmhouse, an exquisite property nestled near the village of Owslebury, is now on the market for £3.95 million.
Located on the edge of the South Downs National Park, the farmhouse offers breathtaking views and ample space with 12.24 acres of land, including paddocks and a separate three-bedroom detached cottage.
A Grand Family Home
The property, fully renovated by the current owners, is accessed via electric wooden gates that lead to a long gravel driveway. The farmhouse itself offers eight spacious bedrooms, making it perfect for large families or those who enjoy hosting guests.
Upon entering the large reception hall, visitors are greeted by an impressive drawing room with oak beams and an inglenook fireplace that overlooks the rear gardens. The home also features a separate dining room and a study, adding to the charm of the property.
The kitchen is a standout feature, with exposed brickwork and vaulted ceilings, adding character and warmth to the space. The kitchen is fitted with a range of bespoke units and a large Aga, perfect for cooking family meals.
It opens into a cozy sitting room and a large breakfast room. Adjacent to the kitchen are a utility room and a boot room.
On the first floor, the home boasts a large principal suite, three further bedrooms, and a family bathroom. Additionally, a fifth bedroom is situated off the landing, accessible via a small staircase.
