There are many highly regarded state and independent schools in the area, including Brambletye, Ardingly College and Cumnor House prep school in Danehill. History & Description Chapel Wood Manor is a delightful country estate situated in an enviable elevated position, commanding exceptional southerly views to the South Downs. The centrepiece of the estate is a superb six bedroom Arts & Crafts house, designed by architect Andrew Noble Prentice for Thomas Brassey, 1st Earl Brassey, once Lord-in- Waiting to Queen Victoria and also Governor of Victoria, Australia from Chapel Wood Manor (also known as Chapelwood Manor) was built in 1904; it was subsequently used as an auxiliary hospital for officers during World War I until 1918, when the estate was sold on Lord Brassey s death. Apart from a brief period when the property was requisitioned by the Canadian army during World War II, the estate has been in private hands, and most recently has been the subject of sympathetic and extensive renovations by the current owners. Today, Chapel Wood Manor offers a beautifully appointed residence with a stunning blend of contemporary style and historic elegance; clean lines, beautiful natural materials, wood burning stoves, and high quality fittings come together to create a stylish yet comfortable home. There are many excellent features throughout the property, including but not limited to the mullioned windows framing the southerly views in the drawing room, an exceptional bespoke elm staircase rising to the first floor and tadelakt waterproof decorative plasterwork in the kitchen and some bathrooms. The open plan kitchen/ dining room is of particular note; an extensive range of Gaggenau appliances are complemented by granite surfaces and painted wood cabinets. Four bedroom suites are situated on the first floor; on the second floor is a games room/cinema with a bar, and two further bedrooms served by a shower room. Two recently renovated properties offer beautifully presented ancillary accommodation. The Coach House is a detached three bedroom property lying adjacent to Chapel Wood Manor; the Cottage is a detached three bedroom house situated beyond the Coach House. The floorplans give an excellent overview of the full accommodation, please refer to them for the full extent of each of the properties.

10 Outbuildings, Garden & Grounds Chapel Wood Manor is approached via a pair of electronically operated gates, opening to a long driveway leading through the grounds to the courtyard ahead of the main house and the Coach House. The property offers year-round leisure facilities, with a heated indoor pool and Jacuzzi, an all-weather tennis court, and stable yard with four stables situated within the grounds. The beautifully landscaped gardens were originally designed by Thomas Hayton Mawson, as a series of garden rooms. His planting and design concepts can still be seen, in particular the superb brick paved terrace which spans the southern elevation of the house, and leads to an elegant circular fountain. This creates a stunning space for entertaining against the backdrop of the surrounding countryside. The garden gently stretches away to the paddocks and woodland; to the east, beyond the Cottage, is a further pond; on the northern boundary, adjacent to the secondary driveway, is a well-stocked walled garden and a greenhouse. A three bay garage offers machinery storage; there is secure garaging under the Coach House. In all, about 41.1 acres.
