Layout: 
The accommodation is particularly generous and versatile.

A separate dining room provides an excellent space for entertaining and leads into a second conservatory, creating a natural connection between the house and its surroundings.
The kitchen enjoys a pleasant outlook across the garden and is complemented by a separate utility area, while an additional study provides an ideal home office or further reception space. A ground-floor cloakroom completes the accommodation on this level.
Upstairs are four well-proportioned bedrooms together with the family bathroom. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, benefiting from its own en-suite bathroom and a distinctive mezzanine level with an internal balcony - an unusual architectural feature which adds considerable character to the home.

Gardens & Outbuildings 

Historical Interest: 
Of particular historical interest, Blatchington Lodge House was constructed within the former orchard belonging to the original Blatchington Lodge, dating from 1912. Within the grounds remains the original powerhouse which once generated electricity for the Lodge. Now forming a charming cottage-style outbuilding, a number of original details have been carefully preserved, including its carved timber lintel, traditional eaves and tiles, pointing and an original opening leaded window - providing a fascinating link to the history of the site.
