We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Occupying an elevated position on one of Chiddingly’s seven hills, Stonehill House is an exceptional Grade II* listed 15th-century country home set within approximately five acres of private, secure grounds.
Following a meticulous four-year restoration, the house combines beautifully preserved period character with modern comforts, generous ceiling heights and far-reaching views towards the South Downs.
Arranged over three floors, the principal residence offers five bedrooms and three bathrooms, alongside a panelled study, snug, drawing room and vaulted playroom/garden room.
A magnificent dining room with a historic inglenook fireplace forms the heart of the home, complemented by a bespoke kitchen, breakfast room and utility/boot room.
A substantial Grade II listed converted barn and adjoining self-contained cottage provide versatile accommodation for entertaining, guests, staff or multi-generational living, with a dramatic vaulted reception space, fitted kitchens and three further bedrooms.
The landscaped grounds feature formal garden rooms, mature trees, rose gardens, a broad York stone terrace and a sheltered courtyard.
Leisure facilities include an all-weather tennis court with pavilion and a secluded heated swimming pool, while a part-walled kitchen garden and orchard add to the setting.
Two gated entrances serve the property, with garaging, a workshop, ample parking and further outbuildings.
Existing planning consent allows for a new west wing incorporating a kitchen, open-plan dining and living space, and a full-height basement.
Situated off a quiet country lane within the High Weald National Landscape, Stonehill House is approximately 2.2 miles from Chiddingly and 1.4 miles from Horam, with more extensive amenities in Heathfield and Lewes.
The area offers a wide choice of state and independent schools, rail connections to London from Buxted, Stonegate and Lewes, and excellent opportunities for walking, cycling and riding.
Glyndebourne, Charleston, the South Downs National Park and the coast are all within reach, with Gatwick Airport approximately 33 miles away.
