Bineham Farmhouse Situated in an elevated position, surrounded by its own grounds and with wonderful views over the gently undulating landscape to the South Downs beyond, Bineham Farmhouse is a very attractive period farmhouse listed Grade II of special architectural or historic importance. The oldest part of the property dates from 1683; the farmhouse was substantially extended in the mid-1800s and is understood to have once served as the laundry house to the adjacent manor house (no longer standing). A further two-storey extension, in keeping with the original house, was added in the 1990s. The result is a substantial yet comfortable family home, exuding character and period charm while offering nearly 4,400 square feet of well-proportioned, light and bright accommodation with good ceiling heights for a property of its age. The house is surrounded by beautifully maintained formal gardens. The floor plan gives a comprehensive overview of the full extent of the house, though there are several features worthy of further note: The drawing and dining rooms lie either side of the entrance hall and are situated in the oldest part of the house, both rooms having handsome inglenook fireplaces and benefitting from a delightful outlook over the pond to the view beyond. A hatch in the dining room opens to steps descending to a cellar, ideal for use as a wine store. The kitchen and breakfast room is fitted with a range of bespoke wooden cabinetry with Corian worktops, a central island and two-oven Aga. The kitchen is served by a large utility room and is part open to an elegant morning room with marble fireplace and inset woodburner. There are four bedrooms on the first floor, including a charming master suite comprising a bedroom, dressing room/nursery and en suite bathroom, and a guest bedroom with en suite bathroom. s three and four are served by a family bathroom; there are two further bedrooms that are on the second floor, one currently used as a study. Formal Gardens and Grounds Bineham Farmhouse is approached via a long sweeping driveway, which continues past the house and pond to a parking area and detached double garage beyond. The formal gardens surround the house and are beautifully maintained, largely laid to well-tended lawn dotted with shrubs, flower borders and young trees. The charming sunken swimming pool with stone surround and pool house lies to the north west of the house, well enclosed by hedging and wrought iron gates. Outbuildings The L-shaped stable block lies to the north east of the house and comprises three loose boxes and a store room around an area of hardstanding; beyond the stables is a brick and timber open period barn.
