Description
Description
Built in 1984 and thoughtfully extended in 2009-10, 86 East End Lane is an attractive and well-appointed contemporary home, set within beautifully enclosed and private gardens in the heart of the sought-after downland village of Ditchling. Blending modern design with elements of the local vernacular, the property features brick elevations that are part weatherboarded and part hung with handmade clay tiles, creating a timeless yet distinctive character.
Internally, the house is immaculately presented. It offers a wealth of timber detailing, with wooden flooring throughout much of the property, enhancing both warmth and natural light. Many rooms benefit from dual aspects, and some feature vaulted ceilings, contributing to the light and airy atmosphere.
A solid wood front door opens into a welcoming entrance porch, leading to a spacious hallway. From here, there is access to a study, a cloakroom, and an inner hall with ample built-in storage, which also provides internal access to the integral garage.
The sitting room is a wonderfully bright and inviting space, featuring an exposed brick chimney breast with open fireplace and full-height bi-fold doors wrapping around two sides, offering seamless access to the garden. The kitchen/dining room is equally impressive, with French doors to the outside and a comprehensive range of beech units, quartz worktops, and high-quality appliances including an ATAG combi oven/microwave, Samsung oven, Neff four-ring induction hob with discreet extractor, and an integrated fridge. A well-equipped utility room adjoins the kitchen, with washing machine and access to a walk-in larder
Upstairs, the bedroom accommodation is arranged in two wings, connected by a striking vaulted hallway with skylights. There are five generously proportioned bedrooms, all with built-in storage. Three benefit from stylish en suite bath or shower rooms. The principal bedroom is a vaulted room with French doors leading to a wraparound balcony on the south and west elevations, and its own en suite shower room. Bedroom two is equally well-suited as a principal suite, with balcony access and a large en suite bathroom. Bedrooms four and five are served by a modern family bathroom.
Outside
The property’s garden is of particular note - private, mature, and beautifully maintained. A lush lawn is surrounded by colourful flower and shrub beds, with mature trees and evergreens offering seclusion throughout the year. A part-paved, part-brick terrace runs along the southern and western side of the house, featuring a tranquil waterfall and offering an ideal setting for outdoor dining and relaxation.
There is gated access on both sides of the house leading to the front, where a part-brick, part-gravel driveway provides ample parking in front of the integral garage.
Location
East End Lane is close to the heart of the picturesque and popular village of Ditchling, which falls within the South Downs National Park and is well-known for its artistic community and many historic listed houses.
