Woodland Walk, Ovingdean, BN2

Tucked away within one of the village’s most desirable private settings, this exceptional, detached residence occupies what is widely regarded to be one of the largest gardens in the village. Surrounded by mature trees, established greenery and a high flint wall, the property enjoys a remarkable sense of privacy and sits within the village’s designated conservation area. The South Downs National Park lies directly across the road to the rear of the house, providing miles of paths and bridleways for exercise and dog walks across the Downs.

Approached via a generous driveway with detached double garage, the house immediately impresses with its handsome flint and brick elevations and idyllic leafy surroundings. Internally, the property has been thoughtfully arranged to create elegant, yet practical living spaces perfectly suited to modern family life.

The welcoming entrance hall leads through to a superb principal lounge with feature fireplace and warm timber flooring.  This flows into the bespoke oak orangery with oak lantern roof that balances timber architecture with traditional masonry. The orangery provides panoramic garden views that create a truly exceptional entertaining space filled with natural light.

The kitchen is perfectly positioned between the reception areas and adjoins a quiet cosy snug, creating excellent flexibility for families. A separate study provides ideal work from home space whilst the utility room and cloakroom add further convenience.

To the first floor the property offers four bedrooms including a generous principal suite with en-suite shower room, alongside a well-appointed family bathroom.

The gardens are without doubt one of the home’s defining features. Expansive lawns sweep around the property, framed by mature trees and established planting, creating a setting rarely available. The grounds offer outstanding privacy and a wonderful sense of space, ideal for families, entertaining and outdoor living. 

Adding to the character of the garden is a former dew pond, a traditional feature once used to provide water for grazing livestock on the Downs. These historic ponds are a reminder of the area’s agricultural heritage and lend an additional sense of history and charm to the grounds today.

Wildlife is also very much at home here, with resident woodpeckers seen daily and heard amongst the trees, adding to the peaceful countryside atmosphere. 

Properties occupying plots of this scale and setting are exceptionally rare.  Woodland Walk, situated a short walk to the village shop, licensed village hall and bus stop (with hourly service into Brighton and beyond), presents a unique opportunity to acquire a substantial family home in one of the area’s most sought after locations.
