Description

Orchard House is an impressive family home that offers beautifully appointed accommodation arranged over two light-filled floors.

At the entrance there is a welcoming reception hall with a turned wooden staircase leading to the first-floor landing/study, and doors to the three comfortable ground-floor rooms. These include the fourth bedroom, which could be used as a study or gym if required, while to the other side there is a formal dining room, which has a dual aspect and connects to the sitting room at the rear via a squared open archway, creating an open, airy feel. The sitting room itself is a generous space in which to relax or entertain, with large windows and French doors opening onto the rear garden.

Adjoining the sitting room, again in a semi open-plan layout, is the well-equipped kitchen with its modern fitted units in white, wooden worktops, central island and range cooker with an extractor hood. The utility room neighbours the kitchen, providing useful further storage and space for home appliances. There is wooden flooring in the sitting room, dining room, fourth bedroom and reception hall.

Upstairs the three attractive double bedroom includes a large principal bedroom with south-facing dormer windows, built-in wardrobes and en suite shower room. The two further bedrooms also benefit from fitted wardrobes, while the first floor landing (used a spacious, double aspect study at present), also leads to the family bathroom with its over-bath shower. An additional shower room can be found on the ground floor, off the fourth bedroom.

There is a good-sized loft hatch with easy pull down ladder to a boarded and lit loft, pridiving ample storage.

At the front of the property, the driveway provides parking for several vehicles, as well as access to the detached, timber-framed double carport. Steps lead to the house and the covered entrance, while the garden at the front has areas of lawn either side of the driveway, as well as various shrubs and hedgerows. The garden is mainly located at the rear, enjoying the sunny south-facing aspect and extending to more than 100ft, with views across the surrounding South Downs. It includes a patio area for al fresco dining at the back of the house (with electric awning over), with an expansive area of lawn and meadow beyond, dotted with fruit trees and bordered by colourful beds with various flowering perennials. There is also a greenhouse and a storage shed, with post and rail fencing at the end separating the property from the rolling countryside beyond.

The property is situated in a picturesque South Downs, enjoying easy access to the South Downs Way, Kingston village offers local shopping, a church, village hall, public house, primary school, tennis court, garden centre and riding school. The county town of Lewes provides excellent boutique and high street shopping, supermarkets including Waitrose, restaurants, public houses, a cinema, golf course and racecourse. Further amenities are also available in both Brighton and Haywards Heath. Local sporting facilities include several golf courses, show jumping at Hickstead, further horse racing at Brighton and Goodwood, sailing at Brighton and Chichester together with opera at Glyndebourne. Communications links are excellent: Kingston’s bus service links to Lewes and the Sussex coast, the A27 (0.8 mile) gives access to the A23/M23 and motorway network, and Lewes station (2.5 miles) offers regular services to major regional centres and to central London in a little over an hour. The area offers a good range of state primary and secondary schooling together with a wide selection of independent schools including Lewes Old Grammar.
