EVER wanted to get into winemaking?
This £6.75 million East Grinstead property with vineyards and fully-equipped winery is now on the market... and the vines have already been planted.
The 152-acre Kingscote Estate boasts fishing lakes, forest, and farmland alongside its 60 acres of vines.
The famous Bluebell Railway runs through the grounds.
A five-bedroom 16th-century farmhouse on the estate provides the perfect setting to survey your kingdom.
And yes, it does have a wine cellar, not to mention a conservatory, five living rooms, and a three-car garage.
The magnificently-restored 15th-century Tithe Barn can be used for events, fitted with a bar, kitchen, and stage.
Another large barn in the grounds contains space for a produce shop, office, and storage.
Meanwhile the cosy two-bedroom Coach House can be used as a holiday let.
About 60 acres of vines have been planted in the grounds, including Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir.
A two-acre apple orchard east of the farmstead can be used to produce cider.
When harvest time comes, the onsite winery is fully-equipped to tackle the entire winemaking process.
Chris Spofforth of Savills estate agent said: “Kingscote is a well-established commercial vineyard with all the facilities on site to undertake wine production from the vine to the shop.
“The current owners have more than doubled the number of vines on the estate over the last couple of years and worked hard to build up the brand, resulting in a significant trading opportunity.”
