AN EIGHT-BEDROOM country home with its own seven-acre vineyard, swimming pool and vast gardens has gone on the market.
Grade II listed St Joseph's Hall in Storrington, West Sussex, features a wealth of period features.
The property in Greyfriars Lane is on the market for offers over £7 million.
Designed and built between 1908 and 1910, the house boasts 17 acres of land, including a vineyard with mostly Chardonnay grapes, which the owners sell to a local winery.
From 1965, St Joseph's Hall was home to the Roman Catholic Bishop of Arundel and Brighton for 40 years, until it was sold to the current owners.
It has more than 11,000 sq. ft of accommodation over three floors, plus two self-contained cottages and extensive outbuildings for storage, workshops and garaging.
The house features a grand entrance hall, sitting room, library, study, kitchen and breakfast room, as well as eight bedrooms and eight bathrooms.
All the principal bedrooms have views out to The South Downs.
The indoor swimming pool is designed in an L-shape to provide room for exercise lengths and a safe area for children to play – all surrounded by full height plate glass windows overlooking the gardens.
Oak floorboards, brick and tiled fireplaces and plasterwork ceiling in the main reception room are also some of the period features on show at the family home.
Alongside the vineyards is ten acres of parkland and landscaped gardens.
The properties grounds are 3.7 miles from Amberley railway station and 4.3 miles from Pulborough station, while less than a mile to Storrington Primary School.
The flint-covered outside walls of the property are almost two-feet thick, while a Horsham stone roof and oak mullioned windows are amongst other features.
