Believed to date from 1910, the house offers a wealth of Arts and Crafts period character - including a barrel-vaulted reception hall and a 27ft by 18ft oak panelled drawing room with inglenook fireplace.
There is also a large dining room overlooking the rear garden and a remarkably spacious kitchen/breakfast room.
A side entrance to the property with a second staircase leads to what was originally the chauffeur’s accommodation - three of the bedrooms, a kitchenette and a shower room.
Beautifully landscaped gardens are at the front and rear - with the rear garden reaching 100ft in length, plus there are fine views over Gildredge Park and the South Downs.
With a guide price of £1,800,000, Compton House is being sold by agent Rager and Roberts via Zoopla.
