Welcome to The Walled Garden — a breathtaking countryside retreat tucked at the foot of the South Downs. Once part of the historic Danny Estate, this spacious four-bedroom home offers sweeping views, five inviting reception rooms, and beautifully landscaped grounds that invite you to slow down, reconnect, and breathe.
The space
Wake up to birdsong, wander through vibrant gardens, enjoy sunrise coffee on one of several patios, and end your evenings dining al fresco beneath wide Sussex skies. With its mix of heritage charm and modern comfort, this is country living at its most magical.

Dating back centuries and lovingly maintained, the home exudes warmth and character — think generous rooms, original fireplaces, and countryside views from almost every window. It's an ideal escape for families, couples, and small groups seeking comfort, privacy, and effortless relaxation.


Kitchen and Living areas

The heart of the home is the sunny, well-equipped kitchen overlooking the walled garden. Cook with ease thanks to the induction hob, oven, dishwasher, microwave, and full set of cookware and tableware. Share memorable meals in the spacious dining rooms, where a central log burner adds cosy ambience. French doors open directly to the garden — perfect for long, laughter-filled dinners and leisurely weekend brunches.

Enjoyn beautifully furnished reception rooms, offering space to gather or time to yourself:

- The Drawing Room — bright, elegant, with bay windows framing uninterrupted countryside views.

The Snug — vaulted ceilings, a large table, and French doors leading to a sunny patio.

- And additional rooms for reading, home-working, quiet contemplation, or spreading out in comfort.

Whether you're curling up by the fire or enjoying a glass of wine with friends, every corner invites you to relax.
