WATCH THE VIDEO TOUR | Beautifully presented and thoughtfully extended four-bedroom detached bungalow, offering approximately 1,328 sq ft of stylish, versatile accommodation in a peaceful semi-rural setting in North Chailey

Welcome Home - Rosedene is a beautifully presented and thoughtfully extended four-bedroom detached bungalow, offering approximately 1,328 sq ft of stylish, versatile accommodation in a peaceful semi-rural setting in North Chailey. Positioned along a quiet no-through road, the home combines the ease of single-storey living with a spacious, modern layout, generous parking, a large rear garden and a superb outlook towards mature woodland beyond.

The bungalow has been carefully improved to create a home that feels both practical and welcoming, with light-filled interiors, contemporary finishes and a layout well suited to modern family life. The accommodation flows particularly well, with the principal living space arranged to the rear of the house, opening directly onto the terrace and garden. This creates a lovely connection between inside and outside, making the home ideal for relaxed day-to-day living, entertaining and family gatherings.

The heart of the home is the impressive open-plan dining/family room, a generous space measuring over 24ft in length, with wide glazed doors opening onto the rear terrace. This room enjoys a bright, sociable feel and provides ample space for a large dining table, while still allowing for informal seating or family use. Adjoining this is a cosy reception room, neatly arranged as a more intimate sitting area, with built-in storage and media shelving. A log-burning stove adds warmth and character, creating an inviting focal point during the colder months.

The kitchen is smartly appointed with shaker-style cabinetry, pale work surfaces and a practical breakfast bar, providing a useful everyday seating area. Integrated and freestanding appliances are well catered for, with thoughtful storage, a wine cooler and an open connection through to the dining space, allowing the kitchen to remain sociable without compromising its functionality. A separate utility room adds further practicality, with a WC and space for laundry appliances, keeping the main living areas uncluttered.

A further playroom/snug sits off the rear section of the property, offering excellent flexibility. It could work equally well as a children’s playroom, home office, hobby room or quiet reading space, making the house particularly adaptable for families, downsizers or those working from home.

There are four bedrooms, all arranged across the ground floor. The principal bedroom sits to the front of the house and is a generous double, with a bay window drawing in natural light. The remaining bedrooms are well proportioned and provide flexibility for children, guests or home working. The modern family bathroom is fitted with both a bath and separate walk-in shower, giving the house a practical arrangement for family life.

Step Outside - Outside, Rosedene is approached via a broad driveway providing off-road parking for multiple vehicles. The front elevation has an attractive blend of brickwork, white-framed windows and soft grey weatherboarding, giving the property a smart, contemporary appearance while retaining the charm of a bungalow.

To the rear, the garden is a real highlight. A large Indian sandstone terrace spans the back of the house, creating an excellent outdoor entertaining area with plenty of space for dining furniture, seating and summer gatherings. Steps lead down to a generous lawn, bordered by mature planting, hedging and established trees, with a pleasing sense of privacy and a green outlook beyond. The garden offers excellent space for children, pets and outdoor living, with useful sheds positioned towards the far end for storage. In total, the plot extends to 0.20 acres.

Scope/Potential - The property also benefits from a sizeable loft, which offers potential for future conversion, subject to the necessary permissions and consents. This could provide scope to create additional accommodation, perhaps a principal suite, while still retaining the bungalow’s generous ground-floor footprint.
