Description
A very well presented three bedroom, two bathroom semi detached character home spanning over 2,150 sq ft in total, located in the desirable village of Newick. The house comprises of; three bedrooms, two bath and shower rooms (1 en-suite), double aspect living room, fully fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, dining / family room, dining room / family room / playroom / games room, downstairs cloakroom, private off road parking for five vehicles, private lawned garden, very large outbuilding with use as a studio, games room, home office, gym, or even a potential annexe (subject to necessary planning).
The House
The house is entered through a solid oak door and into an inner hallway with window to the side and space for coats and shoes. To the left is the downstairs cloakroom with a WC, wash hand basin and window to the side. Through a glass panelled door leads into the main hallway of the house where to the left is the kitchen and to the right is the living room. The hallway has underfloor heating and space for casual furniture. The kitchen has a window to the front and is a well presented German kitchen which consists of; electric underfloor heating, cream floor tiles, granite black work surfaces, white high gloss wall and base units, pantry cupboard, stainless steel two bowl sink unit with mixer tap, electric induction range cooker with five ring hob (less than a year old) with extractor above, deep pan drawers, fridge/freezer and integrated dishwasher.
From the kitchen leads you into the dining room / family room which measures 19ft x 9ft and is large enough to accommodate a generously proportioned dining room table and chairs and additional dining room furniture if desired. It could also be used as a family room with relaxed seating and a coffee table for example if desired. The stairs rise to the first floor from this room and there is a storage area under the stairs. The room also has an opening at window height (with door hatches) and two doors leading into the next door dining room/family room/playroom/games room. These doors can be left open or shut off depending on the chosen configuration.
The dining room/family room/playroom/games room is a very versatile and multi-functional space which has underfloor heating, glass vaulted ceiling with blinds and large bi-fold doors which open the entire width of the room onto the rear terrace. The room measures 18ft x 9ft and can therefore fit a variety of different furniture and accommodate a variety of different uses.
This room leads into the main living room with double doors which can be shut if desired. The living room also has underfloor heating, and is double aspect with a window facing the front and a huge picture window overlooking the rear garden, parking and outbuilding beyond. From the living rom leads back into the hallway meaning that the entire ground floor can be accessed in a circular motion. This completes the ground floor accommodation.
The first floor is accessed from the dining / family room where three bedrooms, an en-suite shower room and family bathroom can be found. The master bedroom is a unique room with large vaulted ceiling and juliette balcony which offers wonderful views over fields and the South Downs. The en-suite shower room is currently open to the bedroom (but could easily be partitioned off if desired) and consists of; WC, wash hand basin with storage cupboard under, a glass screened shower cubicle and a heated towel rail. The room can easily accommodate a variety of bedroom furniture.
Bedroom 2 is a double bedroom measuring 14ft x 9ft and has triple wardrobes along one side of the room and a small storage alcove with hanging rail. The two windows in this room overlook the dining room/family room/playroom/games room but the windows are double glazed so protect from a sound proofing point of view. Bedroom 3 measures 8ft x 8ft and has triple wardrobes on one side of the room and double wardrobes on the other. It could therefore easily be used as a dressing room if not needed as a bedroom.
The landing has a loft hatch which opens into a good sized loft which has a light, and is insulated and boarded.
The family bathroom faces the front of the house and consists of; tiled flooring, WC, circular sink with storage cupboard under, panelled bath with mixer taps and extendable shower hose, and a large amount of cupboard storage. This completes the first floor accommodation.
Outside
The front garden is an extremely secluded and private area with mature trees and shrubs shrouding the street at the front. It is accessed via a large sliding wooden gate which when shut encloses the front garden entirely from view. There is a shingle driveway providing parking for one vehicle at the front section of the garden. At the back section of the front garden is a wooden planked walkway positioned over an ornamental pond which leads directly to the front door of the house. The pond has a water feature and landscaped water plants which thrive in the summer months including a large Gunnera plant. There is a wood store to the right hand side of the house, and a pedestrian side gate which leads out onto the side.
The rear garden orientates due south and is therefore a wonderful sun trap all year round. There is a large Indian sandstone terrace which can accommodate a variety of outside furniture making this a perfect space for entertaining and al-fresco dining. There is a small fish pond with water feature at the edge of the terrace.
Steps down from the terrace lead to a good sized flat lawned garden with flower and shrub borders either side. The garden is perfect to relax in and can also can easily accommodate a football goal and trampoline if desired.
From the lawned area towards the back of the garden is hardstanding parking for four vehicles. Adjacent to this parking is a large remoted controlled gate which slides all the way back to allow a vehicle complete access to and from this parking area. Once the gate is closed, there is no way to open it other than the remote controlled fob. This, combined with the lockable sliding gate to the front garden make this an incredibly secure and private property the level of which is rarely found.
The Outbuilding
The outbuilding is one of the unique selling points of this property as it measures a huge 31ft x 19ft. It is extremely versatile in its use and could be used as a studio, games room, home office, gym, playroom or even potentially an annexe (subject to necessary planning). It could even easily be partitioned in two to create two different uses. It has full power and light and a woodburner which heats the room. There is a cold water feed into the room and there is a sink and draining board and plumbing and space for a washing machine and space for a dryer. My client therefore uses one side of the room as a utility room.
There is a large glass sliding door, another large window and eight other windows at the top front of the building which all allow a large amount of natural daylight to flood through the room. There is another sliding wooden door (much like the two gates) which slides along the entire front of the building thereby shrouding the doors and window from view which is a perfect security feature if you wanted to leave the outbuilding unoccupied for a period of time. The building also has two garage doors on one side of the building so it very possible that with relative ease, this could be adapted to become an enormous garage – perfect for a classic car perhaps.
Behind the building is a tap, three storage units, large log store and a washing line.
Agents note
There are various solar panels on the roof of the large outbuilding, and as my client locked in on the original government scheme earnt over £2,400 last year in revenue.
The Area
From the house, the high street of Newick is a short walk and the village school is only a few hundred yards away. Newick is a wonderful quintessential Sussex village.

The village Cottage Bakery serves fantastic freshly cooked bread in their historic original bread oven on site, and savoury and sweet treats. The Pantry coffee shop offers great coffee and lovely lunches including homemade cakes and savoury bites. The Pantry is a great place to meet friends and family in the day. The village also has two well stocked stores selling most items that you would need. One of these shops doubles up as the village post office.

The residents of Newick are a fantastic mix of ages with the village school and pre-school (both rated Outstanding by Ofstead) bringing in young families through to the retired. Even though the village may be small in its number of residents, it packs a huge punch with the amount of clubs and societies that are on offer for all ages. The village hall plays host to many of those clubs and societies meets and social events. The village’s own amateur dramatic society (NADS) also put on its productions at the village hall. The annual Newick Bonfire night is extremely well regarded and thousands of people from all around Sussex flock to this event year on year. The village has strong rugby and cricket teams and as such sport runs through the veins of the village. The sports playing field with its cricket, rugby and football pitches, pavillion and licenced bar and adjacent childrens playgorund is a hive of activity throughout the year as it plays host to many a sporting activity or social event, particularly on a summers Friday evening when the children have cricket lessons and the parents meet to picnic and sip prosecco.
The village is surrounded by incredible countryside and within minutes you are able to walk through this countryside on a variety of different public footpaths. Although it may seem as if Newick is quite remote, it is only 10 -15 minutes drive to the towns of Haywards Heath and Uckfield and 20 minutes to Burgess Hill and Lewes, all of which have mainline train links to London and Brighton each with an array of different shops, restaurants and nightlife.
