Lewes Road, Piddinghoe, Newhaven, East Sussex

The Wharf is an impressive, detached family home offering more than 1,600 sq. ft of light and airy accommodation, making the most of the beautiful countryside and river views to create an exceptionally attractive and peaceful living environment.

Much of the accommodation is arranged on the upper level, including, at the heart of the home, the open-plan sitting and dining area, which has a dual aspect, including sliding glass doors to the verdant gardens at the front, together with countryside and river views to the side. There is a brick-built fireplace and space for both a sitting room suite and family dining table, while at the rear there is a sunny conservatory with magnificent panoramic views. Adjoining the dining area and continuing the open, airy layout is the well-equipped kitchen, which has Shakerstyle units and wooden worktops, together with a stainless-steel range cooker and overhead extractor hood.

There are three well-presented double bedrooms on the upper level, one of which benefits from an en suite shower room. The generous principal bedroom has its own dressing or study area and is located at the rear, overlooking the riverside. A further bedroom/study can be found on the lower level, together with the utility room, providing useful space for storage and appliances.

A five-bar wooden gate opens to the driveway, where there is plenty of parking space and access to the integrated double garage. This provides useful parking or storage and could potentially be converted into additional living space, subject to the necessary consents. The gardens to the sides and rear lead directly to the riverbank and feature a patio for al fresco dining, extensive lawns and a private river mooring with floating jetty,
along with riparian rights.

The property is in a desirable position in the small village of Piddinghoe, just north of the popular harbour town of Newhaven at the mouth of the River Ouse. The village offers a farm shop, a village hall and a parish church, while Lewes provides a range of everyday amenities including shops, supermarkets, cafés and restaurants. Neighbouring Peacehaven and Seaford offer further facilities. The area is well served by respected independent schools, including Lewes Old Grammar School, Brighton College, Bedes and Hurstpierpoint College.

Transport connections are excellent, with the A26 providing access towards Lewes, and Newhaven’s two stations offering services to Lewes with onward connections to London Victoria.
