A superb barn conversion extending to approximately 2,692 sq. Ft.

The property is set in gardens and grounds of approximately 0.39 of an acre and is being offered for sale for the first time in approximately 30 years.
Believed to have been built between 1750-1770 Compass Barn originally formed part of the Colnor Farm Estate. The barn, which is understood to have been converted to residential in 1977, now offers well-presented and versatile living accommodation and would benefit from some modernisation and updating.
Ground floor:
From the entrance porch a door leads to the large reception hall with open tread staircase to the first floor and doors to two good sized bedrooms, both with built in wardrobes, the family bathroom and a useful ground floor cloakroom, all in the west wing of the property. A pair of low level doors lead to a large low-level store/boat store-room which can also be accessed from the garden. The east wing, which is accessed from a staircase from the 1st floor sitting room, comprises a well equipped utility room with warming cupboard and a large study with access to the garden.
First floor:
The first floor can be accessed from the reception hall or the ground floor study and all the rooms benefit from wonderful far reaching views either over Cutmill Creek towards Bosham and Chidham or up to the Downs. From the landing doors lead to the master bedroom with fitted wardrobes, a smaller bedroom and a large family bathroom.
The dual aspect sitting room has a log burning stove, large picture window with water views, stairs to the ground floor study and steps up to a galleried dining area with large louvred door store cupboard.

A door leads to an external staircase providing access to the garden.

The driveway leads to the house and to a detached double garage with electric up and over door, electric car charging point, door to the garden and to a large, useful workshop. Attached to the southern side of the workshop is a UPVC conservatory/garden room with double doors onto the walled south and east facing walled patio and seating area.
To the south of the barn is a small lawned garden. The main lawned part of the garden lies to the north of the house with a small orchard of apple, plum and pear trees and a greenhouse and a greenhouse and there is a small potting shed attached to the eastern elevation of the main house.

In 2014, the conservatory roof was replaced with low emission glass.

In 2022, a Wallbox 7kW ev charging point installed in the garage.
