The Martletts, Ringmer, Lewes, East Sussex, BN8

Take a look at this well-presented and well-cared for 3 bedroom home in the heart of Ringmer village. The property is tucked away in a tranquil position, one of just six built in a courtyard setting either side of a splendid old horse-chestnut tree. It has a garage, off-street parking and exceptional rear garden.

Downstairs, and to the front of the property, the spacious sitting room measures a generous 15” x 20’8” into a lovely bay window and features a wood- burning stove with granite hearth. It is open to the dining room which has double doors to the rear terrace and garden. In the kitchen, a good range of floor and wall units, hand- made and in solid wood, provide excellent storage. A cloakroom with modern suite completes the accommodation on the ground floor.

Upstairs, the landing features a large window letting in plenty of light. Bedrooms 1 and 2 are good sized double rooms and both have built-in double wardrobes. Bedroom 3, currently used as a study, has further storage space into the alcove. The modern bathroom has a suite comprising bath with shower over and WC and wash-hand basin set into a vanity unit. An airing cupboard, re-fitted with new shelves and hanging rail, houses the gas combi boiler.

Outside, the pretty rear garden has a beautifully shaped lawn bordered by well-stocked, colourful flower beds. It is over 90ft long and particularly private with two patio areas which, between them, capture the sun throughout the day. A wrought iron gate gives access to the garden from the side.

The house is just a few minutes’ walk from Ringmer green and a parade of shops which include a bakery, butchers, general store/post office, café, hairdressers, beauty salon, pet shop and vets.
