Description
Tortington House is a substantial and versatile period family home, set within approximately 1.64 acres of gardens and grounds in a rural position on the outskirts of Tortington. The property combines generous proportions and period character with well-appointed family accommodation, including five reception rooms, five bedrooms and five bathrooms.

The house is approached through a welcoming reception hall, which provides access to the principal rooms and leads through to the impressive central family kitchen. Finished in a classic cream palette, the kitchen is the natural hub of the house, with a range of integrated appliances, a breakfast island and extensive glazing overlooking the gardens. A utility room and useful ground-floor bathroom lie adjacent.

The principal reception spaces are particularly well suited to family life and entertaining. The expansive family room features a contemporary fireplace and ample space for both seating and dining, with bi-folding doors opening directly onto the rear garden and creating a strong connection between the house and outside space. A further sitting room benefits from a wood-burning stove, while a good-sized study and separate dining room provide additional flexibility.

On the first floor, the principal bedroom forms an impressive suite, with a private balcony overlooking the gardens. The adjoining dressing room provides an excellent range of fitted storage and leads to a well-equipped bathroom with bath, wet-room style shower and twin basins. There are four further bedrooms, together with three additional bathrooms, making the house particularly well suited to modern family living.

The gardens and grounds extend to approximately 1.64 acres and provide a combination of lawns, mature trees, borders and areas of paved terrace. To the front of the property are two garages, while a substantial timber-framed outbuilding to the rear provides two further garages, a carport and a vaulted room above. The latter offers considerable versatility and could provide an ideal gym, home office or additional recreational space, subject to any necessary consents.

Situated in a rural setting with neighbouring properties nearby, Tortington House offers an appealing combination of substantial accommodation, generous grounds and excellent ancillary space, while remaining well placed for access to the surrounding West Sussex countryside and nearby towns.
