Inholmes Farm House was built in 1897. Later additions by current owners over the last 37 years have created this fantastically spacious and versatile family home, in an elevated position overlooking the Village and South Downs, with fabulous and distant views. The whole is attractively presented in an elegant and traditional style, enhanced with open fireplaces, two wood burners, high ceilings, double glazed sash windows, exposed beams in the Annexe, all complementing the history of this desirable residence. The house and its mature grounds offer delightful views to Ditchling Beacon, the highest point on the South Downs. The barn has scope for development, subject to consent.

This lovely farmhouse has been tastefully extended to create a sizeable living area with proportioned rooms and large windows, which create a wonderful feeling of space, enhanced by three sets of French Doors framing far-reaching views of the Downs, stretching for miles on all sides. This much-loved family home has been in the same family ownership for 37 years, serving four generations. The farmhouse-style kitchen, with its Aga and generous informal dining/seating area and French doors onto the brick-paved sun terrace, is light and airy, with long views over the Downs and adjacent farmland. As you ascend the house, the views just get better and better. Downstairs, the three well-proportioned reception rooms offer great entertaining space, with internal access into the Annexe – ideal for multi-generational living or for income generation.

Inholmes Farm House sits on an L-shaped plot of circa 1.76 acres which includes lawns, well maintained beds and herbaceous borders, three majestic, ancient oaks, uplit from ground level, a former pond, now a wildflower patch, orchard, fruit cage, vegetable patch, chicken house, a summerhouse plus two store sheds.

There is a large gravel driveway, gated at both ends, with parking for several vehicles. The south-facing brick terrace is ideal for alfresco dining and entertaining, with glazed double doors onto the terrace from both the drawing room and the kitchen/breakfast room. There is a large barn, currently used to store cars and has an attached log store, glazed potting shed and tool shed. There is an electric charger in the barn and an 18-panel, 3.3kwp solar array on the roof.
