Description
Tucked away within the historic grounds of the Grade II listed St Joseph' Abbey, this charming two-bedroom mews house offers a rare opportunity to enjoy a unique blend of heritage, tranquillity and modern living, all set at the foot of the magnificent South Downs and within easy reach of the thriving village of Storrington.
Steeped in local history, St Joseph's Abbey is one of the area's most distinctive and admired buildings. Constructed in Gothic style between 1871 and 1872, the Abbey was built using materials from an earlier rectory dating back to 1621, lending the structure an even deeper sense of historical significance.
In 1953, the building became home to a Dominican convent and boarding school, remaining in use until its closure in 1999. In the early 2000s, the property was thoughtfully and sympathetically restored by the highly regarded Michael Wilson Restorations, who carefully converted the Abbey into a collection of distinctive residential homes while preserving its architectural character and heritage.
Today, the result is a wonderfully unique setting that combines period charm, beautiful grounds and a strong sense of community.
