An extraordinary home of elegantly proportioned living space, carefully curated presentation, and breathtaking southerly views over the Weald towards the South Downs.

A light, generously proportioned and impeccably presented 5-bedroom home with the most remarkable southerly views towards the South Downs AONB. Carefully and sympathetically reconfigured and updated by our clients, the property now offers well planned living space over two floors that encompasses modern ideals of informal living/dining, open plan spaces, ensuite facilities and energy efficiency with more traditional elements of architectural elegance, sash windows, fireplaces, and carefully styled finishes.

Living space incorporates a contemporary kitchen dining room fitted with Fisher & Paykel white goods, a generous sitting room with fireplace and French doors opening onto the rear terrace and garden, a useful family room or dining room and a further small study. The entrance hall is particularly generous with a striking tiled floor and provides access to a useful ground floor bedroom suite with shower room. There are a further four bedrooms on the first floor, including a super principal bedroom with walk through dressing area and ensuite wet room.

The property forms part of small community of just six properties created from a period country home sitting in fabulous grounds that extend to over 10 acres. There is a private garden immediately to the rear of the house with large paved terrace, mature hedging and estate fencing that allow a real sense of connection to the stunning views. Communal gardens provide a mix of rolling lawns, mature woodland, fernscape, long winding gravelled driveway and various areas for bike stores and garden sheds.
