    “The property is unique and beautiful, in a very quiet location in the heart of the South Downs National Park.”

    The beds are comfy, there's plenty of space in the living room and dining room .There are plenty of walks from the door, a short walk to the Roman Villa in Bignor. Everything you could want is in the property. There is Wifi, but due to the thickness of the walls it works best in the living room. Telephone reception on Vodafone isn't brilliant but there is a signal in the garden.

    The beds are comfy, there's plenty of space in the living room and dining room .There are plenty of walks from the door, a short walk to the Roman Villa in Bignor. Everything you could want is in the property. There is Wifi, but due to the thickness of the walls it works best in the living room. Telephone reception on Vodafone isn't brilliant but there is a signal in the garden. The gardens are relaxing and there is lots of space to enjoy warm summer evenings.The roads to the property are single track with passing places but are not busy. This is common in this part of the world. The property is close to all the major road links to all the exciting places you can visit in the area. We didn't drive more than 40 minutes to visit any of the attractions. Portsmouth and Brighton are both about an hour away. Overall a wonderful place to kick back, relax and de-stress whilst contemplating the centuries of people who have sat where you are sitting.

The property

Probably the best preserved building of its type remaining in England, The Yeoman's House, listed Grade II, circa 1400, is a stunning example of a medieval hall house.

Set in about an acre of garden, the present owners have lavished much care and attention on refurbishing the spacious accommodation and have hit on a great balance between preserving the original features and the addition of more contemporary details.

You'll be delighted at the fine timberwork, vaulted ceilings upstairs and some charmingly uneven floors.

The huge chimney breast in the double bedroom is particularly spectacular.

In contrast, the kitchen is completely up-to-date with striking red worktops and stainless steel units with all the modern appliances you'd expect.We think you'll be impressed by the garden which has been beautifully designed by the owner.

There are an abundance of flowers and shrubs, giving interest all year round.

The only choice you'll have to make is whether you sit out on the paved terrace or under a shady tree, both lovely for al fresco dining on a warm summer's day.

This really is an exceptional place to spend some time getting away from it all. The owners have a small two storey cottage within the grounds, located behind a tall Yew Hedge in its own very separate garden.

The owners may be in residence on occasion but are out of sight and will be discreet.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.
