Description

Located on the edge of the popular download village of East Dean, nestled in the heart of the South Downs, The Croft is an older style property, we believe built in the 1930's, that provides very well appointed accommodation arranged over two floors affording exceptional views over adjoining farmland and the South Downs.

The accommodation benefits from a spacious reception hall with hard wood flooring throughout and glazed double doors providing access into a generous sitting room with wood burning stove. The ground floor also boasts a spacious kitchen/breakfast room with casement doors providing access out onto a large stone entertaining terrace and rear garden. There is also a well-appointed ground floor cloak/shower room and a second reception room which could be used as a third bedroom. This room also has access out onto the rear gardens.

On the first floor, the master bedroom has an en-suite shower room. There is a second bedroom and a modern bathroom. Both the bedrooms have excellent views.

To the front of the property is an area of lawned garden as well as two separate driveways, one of which leads to a garage and the other to a further area of off-road parking to the rear. The property also benefits from a detached garden studio ideal for those who perhaps work from home, this also has a utility room.

The gardens are a particular feature of The Croft and comprise of a large stone entertaining terrace and a predominantly lawned garden with a number of well stocked flower beds and borders and a number of fruit trees. The gardens back directly onto open farmland providing magnificent views down the valley towards the South Downs.

The village of East Dean can be found approximately 8 miles to the north of Chichester, set in glorious countryside and is within easy reach of the South Downs Way. The village has its own public house and church and the nearby villages of both Charlton and Singleton also provide public houses and Singleton has a primary school.

The Goodwood Estate can be found just a short distance away and has its own private country club, golf course and hosts a number of events throughout the year including the Members Meeting and Revival at its historic motor circuit and the Festival of Speed.

Other attractions in the area include the Weald and Downland Open Air Museum at Singleton and West Dean Gardens.
