Norlington Lane, Ringmer, Lewes, East Sussex, BN8

As we head toward Spring the Daffodil and Roses will shortly be appearing along the pathway of this beautiful, semi-rural 3 bedroom cottage, just outside Ringmer. Surrounded by open countryside with far reaching views at the front and back across ploughed fields, this bespoke home offers the very best that country living can provide. A property that was largely rebuilt by the present owners with part brick and part timber construction, there is a wealth of character and an opportunity to add one’s own touch to a property which is at the point of needing some modernisation again. A pitched tiled entrance porch leads to a large reception hallway. There is an open plan kitchen and dining room, with a kitchen ready to be modernised and designed to suit the new owners. It also has a triple aspect and door to the rear garden. The more modern part of the home is the sitting room which enjoys views across the front garden as well as at the back. There is Oak flooring and a central fireplace which has a wood burner with plenty of room for the family to enjoy quality time together. The ground floor accommodation is completed with a study and a downstairs cloakroom. On the first floor, there is again a large landing, the master bedroom is above the sitting room and features a double aspect with lovely views both at the front and back of the house. Each of the remaining rooms have double aspects and there is a family bathroom and wc. Outside, there is a long driveway which leads to a detached double garage with accommodation to the first floor, the perfect annexe subject to planning permission. Large gardens, mainly lawn to the front of the house, with shrubs, perennial plants and trees. The rear garden adjoins ploughed fields with post and rail fencing.

Norlington Lane is located on the North side of Ringmer Village and is a tranquil rural lane, surrounded by fields and the Bentley Estate. Ringmer Village is a sought-after place to live for many reasons. It is just outside the County Town of Lewes and offers far more space for families to live and work without the cramped feel sometimes experienced in Town. It is the perfect balance between work and home life. The cricket club play on The Green most weekends in the summer months and the newly developed County League Football Club are now at their new home during the Winter. There is a great bowls club, Library, Surgery and a vibrant parade of shops with a Bakers, Butchers, General Store, Cafe, Fish and Chip shop whom serve the local community. Lewes has a wider range of shops, bars and cafes as well as Waitrose and Tesco and a small retail industrial estate. There is a mainline railway station with regular services to London Victoria in about 1 hour away, with Brighton being about 20 minutes away.
