The property has many original features with beams to the walls and ceilings and large open fireplaces. The current owners have created further accommodation on two floors with a barn style building and added a large oak garden room to form a kitchen/breakfast room. The property is timber framed with brick and tiling to the upper elevations beneath tiled roofs. The mature gardens are well landscaped and there is a useful outbuilding currently used as an office.

Ebernoe itself was described by Pevsner, as an enchanted place in the middle of the Weald with an air of never having been touched by the 20th Century. The whole area is designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with Ebernoe Wildlife Reserve close by.

The nearby town of Petworth and the village of Balls Cross, Kirdford and Northchapel provide for most everyday needs, whilst the Cathedral city of Chichester, with its renowned festival theatre, is within easy reach and provides more extensive shopping and leisure facilities.
