A double-fronted period property, with attractive period features including a turret, leaded casement glazing and exposed beams to provide an elegant and practical living and entertaining environment. Set in a private lane near to local village and town centre amenities.

Millmead is an attractive wisteria-clad double-fronted property offering almost 2,600 sq ft of light-filled flexible accommodation arranged over two floors.
The accommodation flows from a welcoming reception hall featuring an exposed brick open fireplace, a useful walk-in storage cupboard, and a cloakroom along with access to the rear terrace. From here, a door leads into the drawing room, which offers an exposed brick chimney breast with an open fireplace, flanked on either side by bespoke shelving. This space opens into a generous family/sitting room with additional fitted shelving and a door to the dining room. The dining room provides access to a triple-aspect conservatory with a vaulted glazed roof and French doors opening to the garden. A further door from the family/sitting room leads into the kitchen/breakfast room, which features flagstone flooring, a range of bespoke Clive Christian wall and base units, complementary work surfaces and splashbacks, a Belfast sink, cast iron cooker, modern integrated appliances, and space for a generous table. French doors open onto the terrace, while a neighbouring fitted utility room includes a Belfast sink, a striking exposed brick corner turret, and a stable door leading to the barbecue area.
The first floor provides four double bedrooms, three with front aspect glazing affording views towards the River Arun and another currently configured as a study with fitted shelving and storage, together with a family bathroom. A turreted spiral staircase rises from the utility room to the principal bedroom suite, also accessible from the main landing, providing an L-shaped dual aspect bedroom with fitted storage and a spacious dedicated bathroom with freestanding rolltop bath and separate shower.

The property is approached over a driveway and block-paved forecourt providing private parking and giving access to a detached garage, a further detached garage being accessible directly from the lane, a neighbouring five-bar gate giving access to the end of the garden. The well-maintained formal garden surrounding the house, a particular feature of this property, is laid mainly to lawn bordered by well-stocked flower and shrub beds and features numerous seating areas, a swimming pool with paved surround, a summer house, garden store, covered barbecue area neighbouring the turret, vegetable garden with raised beds and a spacious stone terrace with a feature planted well. The whole, screened by mature hedging and trees, is ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining.
