Brighton Road, Shermanbury

A magnificent ground floor apartment originally built in around 2001 by Bewley Homes as part of the award winning rural development of the former country mansion. The property is finished to an extremely high specification and set in attractive formal gardens and communal grounds totalling 56 acres with its own picturesque lake and having wonderful far-reaching panoramic views over open countryside to the South Downs beyond. This lovely apartment is considered ideal for downsizers and those requiring a second home, yet has spacious and flexible accommodation of 1266 square feet that includes two bedrooms, both with ensuites, a fitted kitchen/breakfast room, separate utility, a second reception room/study/third bedroom, plus a stunning double aspect sitting room with double doors opening to a private patio. Outside, in addition to the lovely communal grounds, is a courtyard with parking and a garage with electronically-operated up and over door. The apartment is decorated in neutral tones, there are double glazed windows throughout, with some rooms having plantation blinds, whilst the bathrooms have been refitted in recent years with high quality contemporary units. Heating is by way of an electric central heating system. There is no onward chain and an internal viewing is highly recommended.
