Lower Road, Herstmonceux, Hailsham, BN27

A recently refurbished three bedroom, detached house set in a fabulous semi-rural location with expansive southerly views across the Pevensey Levels towards the coast

Ivy House has an interesting history, having been a shop selling salt harvested from the Pevensey Levels. The property has been extended over time and the current owners have carried out recent refurbishment works to include a modern fitted kitchen and bathroom. The house provides a three bedroom detached home extending to some 1,207sq ft arranged over two floors with lots of natural light and wonderful rural views. There is attractive parquet flooring throughout most of the ground floor which comprises, a large south facing conservatory, entrance hall, sitting room, dining/family room, kitchen and bathroom. The kitchen has a good range of modern fitted base and wall units with worksurface, stainless steel sink, integrated electric oven and inset electric hob with extractor over. There is space for other freestanding appliances.

The staircase leads from the entrance hall up to the first floor galleried landing off which are doors to the three bedrooms and shower room, all benefiting from new flooring.

The garden is south facing with a good length of lawn and paved sitting out area off the conservatory with wonderful open views across the Pevensey Levels. There is hedging along the road frontage, mature trees to one side and timber fencing along other boundaries. Off the lane, there is access onto a good sized driveway parking area set to one side of the house, off which is the garage and access to the rear terrace and gardens and conservatory entrance doors. A separate pedestrian access from the lane with timber gate leads through to the garden with a path to the kitchen entrance door. A small timber shed set behind the garage provides a convenient garden store.
