Shoreham House is a delightful country house, believed to date back to 1910, built by the Guinness family, and has been in the same ownership for the last 40 years. The property is surrounded by circa 19.27 acres and enjoys beautiful views, towards the village of Ewhurst Green and countryside beyond.

This Edwardian house exhibits features that you would expect from a property of this era; high ceilings, good room proportions, bay windows, open fireplaces and windows at every turn allowing natural light to flood the space. Shoreham House has been beautifully maintained over the years, and retains the feel and grandeur of a true rural country property with many traditional fixtures and fittings.

The accommodation is set across two floors. To the ground floor is a drawing room, formal dining room, home office, kitchen/breakfast room with adjacent utility, morning room, shower room and rear boot room lobby. On the first floor is a master bedroom with en suite bathroom, a guest bedroom suite with dressing area and en suite bathroom, additional double bedroom with en suite facilities, further double bedroom and a family bathroom.

Shoreham House is accompanied by extensive modern equestrian facilities, offering stabling for 14 horses, a vermin resistant feed room, tack room with additional strong boxes, an Atcost barn which is currently part used for sheep, and an outdoor school with rubber surface.

Outside the property is surrounded by acres of paddocks and a small area of woodland, ideal for horses, sheep grazing and for chickens to roam free. The immediate gardens are well maintained and are well stocked with seasonal shrubs and perennials, a rose garden, fruit trees and majestic, some ancient, trees. There is also a heated swimming pool with manual cover and a fully fenced tennis court.
