The swimming pool is neatly tucked away and surrounded by terracing and with a pool house, it's the perfect sun trap. The tennis court is perfectly positioned close to the house yet out of sight and is in excellent condition, a real asset.THE COTTAGE The cottage was later converted in 2011. It boasts a kitchen/dining room on the ground floor, a shower room, a double bedroom and a superb vaulted sitting room on the first floor. It has a slightly contemporary feel throughout, complementing the quality of the main house.OUTBUILDINGS There is a large agricultural style barn used for livestock and storage. In addition, there are two stables and a good-sized workshop. LOCATIONGreat Hunts Place is situated at the heart of the South Downs National Park within the popular village of Owslebury.
