Description
The Haven is a spacious detached bungalow occupying a generous plot on the edge of this highly sought-after downland village. The property commands lovely open views from both the front and rear and provides immediate access to the beautiful countryside of the South Downs National Park. The accommodation has recently been substantially and tastefully refurbished, with particular care taken to combine traditional character with high-quality contemporary fittings. Improvements include professionally restored pine flooring, new windows and external doors, Stelrad Vita column radiators and a recently installed Alpha condensing combination boiler with Hive controls.
At the heart of the bungalow is an impressive open-plan living space extending to approximately 28', incorporating sitting, dining and kitchen areas and enjoying a delightful double aspect. The kitchen has been refitted with white gloss cabinetry and specially commissioned 3cm “Delicatus Gold” natural granite worktops and splashbacks. Integrated appliances include an AEG venting induction hob and oven, together with a Bosch dishwasher and concealed waste and recycling bins.
There are three well-proportioned double bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with an attractively refitted en suite shower room. The family bathroom has also been comprehensively remodelled and features a slipper-style roll-top bath, traditional chrome fittings and a painted blue vanity unit with ceramic basin.
The extensive gardens are another outstanding feature. The front garden incorporates a small orchard with plum and cherry trees, while the south-westerly rear garden has been landscaped to provide a series of attractive yet easily maintained areas. These include a natural stone sun terrace with railway-sleeper detailing, wildlife ponds, productive fruit and vegetable beds and a substantial British-built Rhino greenhouse.
The generous plot may also offer potential for enlargement of the existing accommodation, subject to all necessary consents.
The Haven occupies an enviable position on the rural edge of Alfriston, surrounded by the magnificent scenery of the South Downs National Park. Alfriston is one of the most picturesque and sought-after villages in East Sussex, with a thriving community and an excellent range of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and historic inns. The village is particularly well placed for walking and other recreational pursuits, with direct access to the surrounding downland countryside. The coastal towns of Eastbourne and Seaford provide a wider range of shopping and leisure amenities, while nearby Berwick railway station offers services towards Lewes, Brighton, Gatwick Airport and London Victoria. Glyndebourne Opera House is also within convenient driving distance.
