Believed to have been constructed in the 1930's, Acklam has been considerably updated and renovated in recent years, including bespoke kitchen and bathrooms with underfloor heating. The property is approached through a five-bar electric gate off Glebefield Road and provides a gravel driveway with plenty of off-street parking. The main house offers spacious living accommodation throughout including a large entrance hall off which are the principal reception rooms. On the ground floor, to the front, is a good-sized south and west-facing drawing room which leads through to a spacious sitting room/play room. To the side is a kitchen/dining room and to the rear is a utility/cloakroom. Also on the ground floor is a formal study. The first floor provides four bedrooms (two en suite bathrooms and one en suite dressing room) and a separate family bathroom. The main bedroom enjoys superb westerly views over farmland. The loft has been converted to provide a fifth bedroom and snug ideal for a nanny or relative.

A particular feature is that there is approved planning consent to extend the ground floor accommodation and form a sun/garden room. Drawings are available upon request (Chichester planning ref.17/02796/DOM).
