The White House
The Grade II Listed White House enjoys that perfect rural and tranquil setting. Located above Steyning in West Sussex, it enjoys a glorious private garden with fabulous downland views towards Devil’s Dyke and Ditchling Beacon. Offering either a gentle stroll into the pretty and historic market town of Steyning, with its independent shops, bars and restaurants, or a short sharp climb to the joys of being on top of the Downs on the South Downs Way above the Roundhill.
The White House dates back to the early 19th century, and its ogee-shaped casement windows and front door set off its appeal just beautifully. This cottage for up to eight adults has been superbly renovated and is presented to an exceptional standard. It benefits from an enclosed garden, a private and sheltered patio and some of the finest views along the line of the South Downs. There are two separate living areas; a cosy room in the traditional heart of the cottage around a wood burner and a sitting room with a large sofa and double doors that open on to the private patio. The cottage has four bedrooms; one on the ground floor and three on the first floor. The White House is very appealing to those guests who enjoy properties in perfect rural settings.
Historic Steyning, nestling against the inspiring landscape of the South Downs, is well known as one of the most picturesque towns in Sussex, dating from early Saxon times. The old core of Steyning has a large number of historic buildings including many from the medieval and Tudor period. This market town offers the visitor a fantastic selection of interesting shops with many independent retailers and a monthly farmer’s market. There are also restaurants, pubs and tea rooms offering delicious food and drink.
Next to Steyning is the small village of Bramber which has remained largely unchanged over the centuries. It is overlooked by the remains of the castle built after the Norman Conquest and now overseen by English Heritage. St Mary’s House, just a short distance further, is a magnificent late medieval house where King Charles II hid on his escape to France and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle chose the house as a setting for one of the Sherlock Holmes stories.
Rightfully known as a great destination for walkers, the South Downs Way just above The White House allows you to walk or cycle east towards Devil’s Dyke and Ditchling Beacon. There are also excellent local routes to Chanctonbury Ring, a picturesque ring of trees atop the Downs and beyond to the Iron Age hill fort at Cissbury Ring. Beach 6¾ miles.
