Bishops Lane, Ringmer, Lewes

Balancing home comforts, luxury living and the calm of the countryside, this exceptional four-bedroom family home sits nestled into the South Downs National Park in the picturesque village of Ringmer. It has beautifully appointed, well-proportioned rooms which include two vast reception rooms leading out to a leafy garden with countryside views across green fields and undulating hillside. Newly built, this home comes with building guarantees to reassure new owners they can enjoy their home for many years to come.

Built as one of 10 luxury detached homes in Bishops Lane, these properties have an air of exclusivity, forming a secure and welcoming community of their own on a peaceful cul-de-sac. Only the finest fixtures, fittings, materials and technologies have been used in their creation, so you can move straight in with ease and start enjoying the space. This is the largest house in the development, with space for entertaining and family time, in versatile rooms which will evolve as the family grows.

Externally, these homes have been built to sit sympathetically with their countryside surroundings. Hung tiles on red brick facades, tiled porches and garage roofs feature alongside beamed gables, feeling every inch the country abode.

Stepping inside, the interior design has also been carefully considered, following current trends to create streamlined and homely spaces, ready for the modern lifestyle. High end appliances have been integrated into the kitchen while immaculate tiling and gleaming white sanitaryware can be found in the bathrooms – of which this house has three including the en suite to the principal bedroom. In addition, there is a ground floor WC – an essential in any family home. All four bedrooms are double with a fifth room on the ground floor, ideal as a study.

The garage is double, offering a vast amount of space as a workshop, for storage or for parking precious vehicles and bikes, although it could also be converted into a habitable space depending on the needs of the family.

Spanning the rear of the house, there are two exquisite reception rooms including a generous sitting room offering plenty of space for the family to come together in the evening on comfortable furnishings. This room links through to the kitchen and dining room via double doors, giving the ground floor a sense of flow when entertaining, which can spill outside to the garden via French doors to both the sitting room and dining room which is open plan to the sociable kitchen.

It is a treat for the senses in the landscaped garden, which is perfectly low maintenance, but has plenty of scope for further landscaping should you choose. South facing, it is a suntrap during summer with a lovely lawn for children to play and beyond this, Sussex countryside is waiting to be explored, abundant with wildlife and birdsong in the trees.

Returning inside, the bedrooms are carpeted underfoot with mirrored built-in wardrobes to maximise their floor space – and all rooms have tranquil, verdant views to wake up to each day. Energy efficient double glazing will also ensure a warm and restful night’s sleep.
