Description

Versatile modern family home with gated driveway and lovely gardens, tucked away in the heart of Ditchling.

Description

Bramleys is an attractive detached family house, built in 2000 by Hillreed Homes and owned by the same family since new. It occupies a tucked away position at the end of a private close of just four other houses, all individually designed in a traditional Sussex vernacular. Bramleys is styled in a yeoman’s fashion, with part tile-hung and part timbered brick elevations, and sits within a generous plot with a south-facing garden and ample parking.

Combining privacy and convenience in equal measure, the close enjoys an ideal setting in the heart of Ditchling, well positioned for village life, and its independent shops, cafés and pubs.

The house has been thoughtfully maintained and offers light-filled, spacious rooms throughout, with neutral décor, excellent built-in storage, and great potential for a new owner to update and personalise over time. A timber five-bar gate opens to the block-paved driveway, ahead of the house and detached double garage, which has twin up-and-over doors, power connected, and potential to create storage in the rafters.

A wide and welcoming entrance hall lies at the heart of the home, setting the tone with an imperial staircase rising to the galleried landing above, and giving access to all principal reception rooms. To the rear, the dual aspect sitting room is a lovely space, with a bay window and French doors opening to the garden, and a brick inglenook-style fireplace with a log-effect gas fire creating a focal point.

Double doors lead from the hall to the formal dining room, which features a granite fireplace with a carved marble surround and inset coal-effect gas fire. A further reception room lies to the side and is particularly versatile, with French doors opening to the side garden and a connecting door to the kitchen. A separate study and a cloakroom with WC completes the ground floor.

The kitchen is well laid out, fitted with a range of cabinets and display units topped with granite-effect work surfaces and a breakfast bar with space for stools. Integrated appliances include a Britannia range oven with five-ring gas hob, a combi-oven/microwave, fridge/freezer, and dishwasher. A conservatory lies off the kitchen and is used as a breakfast room, with doors opening to the garden. The kitchen is served by a utility room with deep understairs storage and space for laundry appliances.

Upstairs, five bedrooms are arranged around a spacious galleried landing, which is large enough to accommodate a desk or reading area. The principal bedroom enjoys a lovely outlook over the garden and has a dressing room and an en suite bathroom with both a bath and separate shower. The guest bedroom also has an en suite shower room. The three further bedrooms are served by a family bathroom.

Outside, the gardens are a particular feature of Bramleys. The south-facing rear garden has a broad terrace spanning the rear elevation, offering space for outdoor furniture. Beyond is an expanse of level lawn, encircled by beautifully stocked, cottage-style flower and shrub borders, with a variety of specimen trees including an ancient apple, a mature Ginkgo and a tulip tree. To the western side is a small kitchen garden with a greenhouse, together with a courtesy door to the garage.

Location

Bramleys is situated in 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. The property is in a private close in the centre of the village, with good access to Ditchling’s independent shops, two public houses and primary school.

Sussex has a diverse cultural and arts scene, with world-class opera at Glyndebourne, and the annual Charleston and Brighton Festivals presenting a huge programme of theatre, dance, classical music and literary events.
