South Street, Ditchling

A modern detached family house set within an exclusive and select development benefiting from a gloriously landscaped south facing garden, off street parking for several vehicles with double car port, situated in a central village location

Ditchling, with its beautiful views of the South Downs, is a historic village playing host to a selection of local shops, cafés, a church, and two public houses including The Bull, an award-winning gastro pub. The larger village of Hassocks, with its mainline train station, is a short drive away and provides regular rail services to London and a more comprehensive array of shops. The local area benefits from a range of outstanding state and private schools for all ages.

One of only a select few newly built homes within the exclusive and highly sought after ‘Walled Garden’ development, this exceptional residence enjoys a prime position in the heart of the village while offering an impressive sense of privacy and space. Completed approximately seven years ago, the property has been thoughtfully designed with timeless architectural detailing that blends effortlessly with its surroundings yet offers all the comforts and layout of contemporary living. At the heart of the home lies a stunning open plan kitchen/dining/family room perfectly configured for modern life. Bi-fold doors open seamlessly onto the rear terrace, inviting the outside in and creating a wonderful space for entertaining. The kitchen is beautifully appointed with luxury integrated appliances, granite work surfaces and a breakfast bar, complemented by a separate utility room with additional appliance space and integrated storage. To the front of the property, a generously proportioned sitting room exudes warmth and character, featuring engineered oak flooring, underfloor heating throughout the ground floor and a striking inglenook fireplace with a wood burning stove at its centre. Four well appointed bedrooms and modern family bathroom are arranged over the first floor, including a principal suite with a stylish en suite shower room. The beautifully landscaped south facing garden offers a wonderfully private space, laid mainly to manicured lawn with a generous paved terrace and framed by well stocked flower beds, part flint walling, elegant Venetian fencing and mature trees. A private gate leads directly into ‘The Paddock’, a resident owned meadow reserved exclusively for the members of the ‘Walled Garden’ community (five homes). To the front, a cobbled driveway provides parking for several vehicles and provides access to the recently constructed double carport.
