Sorrel Street, Hailsham, BN27

AP Estate Agents are proud to present this beautifully maintained, almost new property to the market. Built just a few years ago, it offers all the advantages you would expect from a modern home of this age — energy efficient design, contemporary finishes, and a layout created with today’s lifestyles in mind. The accommodation has been thoughtfully planned and flows exceptionally well. Each room feels light and airy, with décor and presentation to an excellent standard throughout. After three years, the communal areas of the development have now matured and feel well established, making this an ideal moment to purchase for those seeking the benefits of a newer build without the “fresh off the site” feel. The property is perfectly positioned: tucked just outside the town for peace and quiet, yet still within comfortable walking distance of local shops, amenities, and nearby schools. It’s a superb option for buyers wanting convenience, modern comfort, and a home that’s ready to enjoy from day one.

INSIDE THE PROPERTY

You step into a welcoming hallway that runs the length of the home and leads directly into the lounge. It’s a bright, airy space, with natural light filtering through the front door and the windows and doors at the rear. At the front of the property is the cloakroom, fitted with a WC and wash basin — ideal for guests and busy households. The staircase rises to the first floor, and there’s a generous understairs cupboard accessed from the lounge. Opposite the hallway sits the kitchen, a well proportioned room finished with fresh, modern light grey units. There’s an excellent mix of drawers, cupboards and wall units, along with integrated appliances including a dishwasher, washing machine, fridge, freezer, electric oven and grill, plus a gas hob with a concealed extractor above. A striking black composite sink sits beneath a window overlooking the front, and the light oak effect worktops with matching splashbacks complete the look. One of the nicest features is the space for a breakfast or dining table at one end, giving you a sociable area for everyday meals or entertaining. The lounge is a lovely size, comfortably accommodating a couple of sofas and additional furniture. Double doors open out to the rear garden, enhancing the sense of space and light. The entire ground floor is finished with a uniform light grey wood effect laminate, creating a clean, fresh and stylish feel that contrasts beautifully with the crisp white doors, frames and skirtings. 

UPSTAIRS

Stairs rise to a galleried landing, from which all rooms can be accessed, along with the hatch to the loft. At the rear of the property is Bedroom 3, featuring an entire wall of fitted wardrobes with sliding mirrored doors — an excellent amount of storage and a desirable option for anyone with a large clothing collection or dreams of a dedicated dressing space. Its position next to Bedroom 1 makes this even more appealing. Bedroom 1 is a generous double with views over the rear of the home and ample space for a large bed and additional furniture. The en suite sits neatly in the corner, fitted with a walk in shower, WC and wash basin. It is fully tiled and includes a mirrored medicine cabinet above the basin and a heated chrome towel rail. Further along the landing is Bedroom 2, another well proportioned double overlooking the front of the property. Behind the door is a useful alcove that lends itself perfectly to a fitted unit or provides a discreet spot to tuck away free standing furniture. The family bathroom is equipped with a WC, pedestal wash basin and a shower over the bath, complete with a glass screen and adjustable shower head. A heated chrome towel rail adds a practical finishing touch. While the stairs and landing are carpeted, all three bedrooms benefit from laminate flooring, creating a clean, easy to maintain finish throughout the upper level.

OUTSIDE

The property is approached from Sorrel Street via a brick paved driveway providing parking for two vehicles, along with the added benefit of an installed EV charging point positioned halfway up the drive. The front garden has been attractively landscaped with granite chippings and space for pots, creating a low maintenance yet welcoming entrance. A gated side access leads through to the rear garden, which offers a blank canvas for someone to shape to their own taste. Currently laid to lawn, it features a patio directly adjoining the rear of the property and a small timber shed for storing garden essentials and tools. Being south facing, the garden enjoys sunshine for most of the day and has been thoughtfully planned so that the neighbouring properties to the rear face sideways on, enhancing privacy while you relax or entertain. The garden is securely fenced, making it ideal for both pets and children.
