Pook Hill, Chiddingfold, GU8

Langhurst Manor dates from 1908 with the West wing being a major portion of this significant country house estate. There are many fine original Edwardian features, and the main sitting and dining room is understood to be the original drawing room from the manor with original oak flooring beneath the carpet. Throughout, the notable high ceilings and large sash windows offer elegant living rooms, flooded with natural light.
All the ground floor rooms are accessed from a spacious central entrance hall. An intriguing and surprisingly large store room is formed from the original Whitfields Safe & Door Company safe.
The double aspect sitting and dining room measures 26'5 x 16'7 and has a superb bay window at one end, a door to the garden, and a splendid open fire place.
The comprehensively fitted kitchen/breakfast room has plenty of space for a family kitchen table, and there is a back door out to the garden and the drive. A roomy study with extensive built-in and under stairs storage completes the ground floor.
There is a huge airing cupboard and linen store accessed from the expansive first floor landing, and three bedrooms. The principal bedroom features another fine fireplace, a further magnificent bay window and extensive built-in wardrobes. The ensuite bathroom has a free-standing bath and a separate shower. There are then two further bedrooms and a family shower room. The staircase continues to the second floor where two further bedrooms, taking the total to five, lie either side of a very well-proportioned family sitting room, and there is a further family bathroom.
