IF YOU have ever fancied owning your own vineyard and a piece of Sussex history, now is your chance.
This Edwardian era hall, once home to the Roman Catholic Bishop of Arundel and Brighton for four decades, is up for sale - and it has its own vineyard and orchard.
The slight hitch could be the price tag of £5.95 million.
St Joseph's Hall, in the rural village of Storrington, has eight bedrooms and seven reception rooms and an indoor swimming pool.
Designed and built between 1908 and 1901 in the Vernacular Revival style of E S Prior, the building has flint covered outside walls almost two feet thick, a Horsham stone roof and oak windows looking out over the South Downs.
The hall’s new owners will be greeted with oak floorboards and brick and tiled fireplaces in the main reception room. The ground floor also has direct access into the swimming pool complex, with full height windows overlooking the gardens.
As well as this, the property has two self-contained cottages, situated within a courtyard of outbuildings for storage, workshops and garages.
In the hall’s expansive gardens, there are two restored Victorian greenhouses, an orchard, formal lawns and a wild meadow.
The property sits at the foot of the South Downs, with views of adjoining vineyards and agricultural pastures. Its tranquil location is a few minutes walk from the village of Storrington, and a nearby footpath provides access to country walks.
It is being sold by estate agent Hamptons on 01403 290219.
