A comprehensive range of wall and base units are complemented by a central work island with granite worktops and a separate pantry.

The flexible ground floor accommodation benefits from three further reception rooms which are currently being used as a reception hall, study and T.V/family room. The ground floor is complete with a utility and boot room with a guest cloakroom. The first floor continues to impress with four double bedrooms. The principal bedroom is located to the rear and enjoys sensational views towards The South Downs National Park with a contemporary en-suite shower room and a range of built-in storage. The three additional bedrooms are served by a stylish family bathroom. Externally the rear garden is a very good size, with a high degree of privacy and mainly laid to lawn with a large paved patio terrace, enclosed by post and rail fencing allowing for impressive views of the adjacent countryside. A cleverly designed studio in the garden, built-in 2016 with full building regulations and planning, creates the perfect environment to work from home, with electricity, full underfloor heating, a shower room and French doors opening to the patio terrace to appreciate the glorious views.
