Description

This charming and beautifully redesigned home, surrounded by the South Downs National Park, has been meticulously updated by its current owners, creating a warm and welcoming haven perfect for family living. The spacious ground floor boasts a thoughtfully laid-out kitchen, featuring a large range oven and delightful views over the garden, along with a separate pantry and utility area for added convenience. Adjacent to the kitchen is a cosy snug area with space for a desk, ideal for household admin. The dining room, with ample space for a large dining table, is perfect for hosting gatherings and family occasions. The expansive triple-aspect drawing room is a stunning feature, flooded with natural light and showcasing a beautiful wood burner, and French doors that open out to the garden – a bright and inviting space that enjoys sunshine all day long and offers lovely views. A handy cloakroom is conveniently located just off the hallway.

The ground floor also offers the potential to create a completely independent annexe. While currently integrated into the main living space, it could easily be reinstated to be self-contained. This versatile area includes a spacious bedroom, a generous sitting room, a study or second bedroom, a fully fitted kitchen, and a bathroom – an ideal setup for extended family, guests, or a live-in nanny.

Upstairs, the principal suite is a peaceful sanctuary, offering views over the garden and rolling fields beyond. A dressing area leads to a luxurious en suite, complete with a relaxing bath, large walk-in shower, and double basins. The second bedroom also features an en suite with a walk-in shower, while two further bedrooms share a generously proportioned family bathroom with a walk-in shower, making this home as practical as it is beautiful.

Approached through electric gates, the house is set back with a sweeping circular driveway providing plenty of parking space. The drive continues around the property, leading to the annexe entrance and space for further parking. Set within over two acres of picturesque gardens, the property also boasts several outbuildings, including a substantial stable currently set up as kennels. A small, secluded paddock is tucked away behind the stables, along with a garage and additional storage sheds. The entire plot is beautifully surrounded by open fields, offering both privacy and stunning countryside views.
