Lewes Road, Ditchling

A significantly enlarged chalet bungalow set in a gloriously private and sizable plot of approximately 2 acres, benefiting from 4 detached outbuildings and huge scope for further development

Ditchling, with its beautiful views of the South Downs, is a historic village playing host to a selection of local shops, cafés, a church, and two public houses including The Bull, an award-winning gastro pub. The larger village of Hassocks, with its mainline train station, is a short drive away and provides regular rail services to London and a more comprehensive array of shops. The local area benefits from a range of outstanding state and private schools for all ages.

Situated at the end of its own private lane and sitting in a plot of approximately 2 acres, this detached chalet bungalow having been substantially enlarged over the years amasses to approximately 4,708sq ft (with the inclusion of the 4 outbuildings). The ground floor is currently configured with 2 sizable reception rooms, the family/dining room being approximately 31x14ft. The kitchen/breakfast room is at the front of the property and benefits from a bespoke kitchen. There are 2 double bedrooms serviced by a ground floor bathroom and also the benefit of a useful utility room with plumbing and space for a selection of appliances. Stairs lead to the first floor where 2 further bedrooms reside with the principal bedroom benefiting from an en-suite shower room and dressing area. In the grounds there are 4 outbuildings including a detached brick built double garage, a further brick built garage, large modern barn and brick workshop store. A paved terrace and block paved patio adjoin the property with a range of well stocked shrub and plant beds surrounding the front and rear of the property. The remaining private gardens and grounds are predominantly laid to lawn and bordered by trees. A sweeping driveway at the front of the property provides ample parking.
