Garden tranquillity

The property extends beyond the confines of the main dwelling, revealing a garden room on the side-a flexible, versatile space currently used as a garden office, equipped with power and heating. This additional space enhances the property's adaptability, offering an ideal setting for remote work, creative pursuits, or simply enjoying the serenity of the surroundings.

Stepping into the garden, a vast expanse unfolds, providing ample opportunities for green thumbs to let their imagination run wild. A meticulously maintained lawn encircles the home, while perimeter fencing ensures privacy and security for both family and pets.

The strategically positioned patio invites you to soak up the sunshine as it traverses from east to west, north to south throughout the day with the added charm of buzzing bees in the native shrubs and trees. Carefully arranged seating areas, including a garden composite decking and a sheltered spot beneath the Breeze house, offer options for al fresco meals and leisurely moments with family and friends.

OWNER'S SON QUOTE: " I loved growing up here; there's so much space for trampolines, playing in the garden and in the garden room for gaming and studying. A wonderful childhood, I feel so lucky".

Ventures beyond

The village of South Chailey unfolds as a welcoming backdrop, characterised by a friendly community and a rich literary heritage. The November 5th bonfire parade, local cafes, restaurants, and the village pub, The Five Bells, contribute to the vibrant community spirit.

Just over 2.5 miles away is Cooksbridge Station which has frequent direct trains to Gatwick Airport and London with respective journey times of 30 and 65 minutes.

The area's literary significance is underscored by the belief that the Trumpton stories find their inspiration in the villages of Plumpton Green (Trumpton), Wivelesfield Green (Camberwick Green), and Chailey (Chigley).

Beyond the village, explore the culinary offerings of Haywards Heath and Lewes, featuring numerous cafes and restaurants. The Five Bells, a gastro pub in the village, and the village shop with Post Office facilities provide convenient options for dining and shopping.

A little over five miles away, indulge in the eclectic offerings of The Elephant Cafe, with evenings of tasty food, entertainment, and live music at Trading Boundaries. For a laid-back experience, brunch at Nutmeg Tree café in Ditchling, a favourite spot of the late Vera Lynn, offers a unique culinary experience.

Wine enthusiasts are well catered to, with award-winning wines from nearby Plumpton Estates and Bluebell Vineyard just north of Sheffield Park. For those seeking a day at the races, Plumpton Green offers an exciting venue, while the South Downs National Park beckons with its scenic walks and the restorative pleasures of the countryside, all less than five miles away.

Venturing further afield, the vibrant sea air of Brighton is a mere 20 miles away, accessible via Lewes and the A27. Nearby attractions such as Sheffield Park National Trust Garden and the Bluebell Steam Railway, both within a five-mile radius, add to the area's allure.

Enchanting moments await at Pooh Bridge, associated with the beloved Winnie the Pooh, in nearby Ashdown Forest. The forest, along with numerous woodland walks around the village, provides ample opportunities for exploration, including a nearby farm housing a pair of camels-a delightful surprise for the adventurous.

Families in the area benefit from excellent local schooling options, including the Ofsted-rated 'Good' Chailey Secondary School and several primary schools such as Chailey St Peters, Hamsey, Plumpton Green, Wivelsfield Green, and Newick.

Healthcare needs are met with a GP surgery less than a mile away in the village, while a dentist in North Chailey offers services approximately 2 ½ miles away.
