This most impressive home is situated in a stunning riverside position on the banks of the river Arun, with fabulous views over the water and to the South Downs beyond. The stunning home was substantially extended by the current owners approximately 10 years ago to a high standard with a commitment to sustainability, including solar panels and a ground source heat pump which provides year-round comfort, a rainwater harvesting system, Grade B insulation and underfloor heating. The house is generously proportioned with plenty of space for family life, comprising more than 3500 sq ft of accommodation over four floors and a flexible layout that could be reconfigured to create an annexe space on the lower ground floor.
The main living accommodation is situated on the ground floor and includes a substantial open plan sitting/dining room and kitchen, creating the ideal space for entertaining. On the lower ground floor there is a utility room/kitchen, office, bedroom and shower room, with its own private entrance which makes it suitable for grandparents or older children to live independently. Also on this floor is direct access to the swimming pool and given the versatility of the accommodation one could feasibly the family room/bedroom 3 into a gym with the ‘Jack and Jill’ shower rooms then severing both the swimming pool and potential gym, the pool area has twin doors leading to the attractive outside sunken courtyard.
The first floor has three double bedrooms, one of which is en suite, plus a family bath/shower room, while the principal bedroom occupies the whole of the top floor and includes two walk-in wardrobes and two separate en suite bath/shower rooms. This room could easily be converted into 2 bedrooms with en suite bathrooms. There are also twin terraces from which to enjoy lovely far-reaching views.

Being situated in the South Downs National Parks, River House is the last property at the end of Church Lane, a no-through road, giving it privileged access to the river. The property is set within approximately
6.5 acres of land, including paddocks, formal gardens and river frontage, and offers fantastic potential as a smallholding. The property is fronted by a goodsize block-paved driveway which leads to a covered carport into the attached garage having direct access into the house on the lower ground floor. The gardens are beautifully landscaped with a number of paths meandering through lawns, ornamental ponds and
mature shrubs to the river bank which forms a natural boundary leading to a pontoon. There are a choice of seating areas to relax and take in the view over the river and the South Downs.
Situation
The village of Bury is situated on the west bank of the river Arun and has a variety of amenities, including a nearby farm shop, a primary school, public house and an independent day school, Dorset House. More
comprehensive shopping facilities are available at Arundel, Storrington and Pulborough, and at Pulborough there is also a mainline station as well as the station at Amberley across the river. For sport and recreation there are a number of golf courses at Pulborough (West Sussex Golf Club), West Chiltington and Cowdray Park and two at Goodwood; there is also polo at Cowdray Park and gliding at nearby Parham Park. The cathedral city of Chichester is the location of the well renowned Festival Theatre and on the South Coast there are many sailing centres namely Littlehampton, Brighton Marina and Chichester Harbour giving easy access to the Solent. There are miles of footpaths and bridleways across the South Downs to explore, with direct access to the South Downs Way approximately 500 metres along the river.
The area is well served with local schools in both the state and private sector including East Preston Junior School, The Littlehampton Academy, Lancing College and Seaford College.
