Briar House is an attractive property built of brick elevations under a pitched clay tile roof providing spacious accommodation over three floors, and now in need of some updating.
Features worth nothing include an open fireplace with a pretty surround in the drawing room, together with a large south-facing bay window. The veranda is original and fits around the south east corner of the house. Far-reaching views out and over the Downs beyond from the upper storeys are impressive and there are many period details including panelled doors and picture rails.
