DESCRIPTION
Tucked away in a sought-after village setting, this substantial three-storey detached home offers a flexible layout with extensions since the 1950s. Elevated gardens, south-facing terraces, balconies and a mature orchard enjoy seasonal views across the Wildbrooks to the South Downs. Despite its peaceful setting, village amenities and the mainline station are just a short walk away.
Set in a private lane, the house sits behind remote-controlled gates opening to a generous driveway and turning area. Terraced front gardens, carefully planted with a wide array of shrubs, camellias, acers and flowering plants, rise up to frame the property, setting the tone for the gardens that are such a key feature here.
Step inside and you are welcomed into the entrance hall, with good storage including a coat cupboard and understairs space. To one side is a cloakroom with shower, while the principal reception rooms extend to the rear of the house, all enjoying a sunny southerly aspect and access to the garden. The main living room is an elegant and inviting space, centred around a fireplace with brick surround, and fitted bookshelves provide character and practicality. Double doors open to the garden, filling the room with light. A second sitting room, also garden-facing, offers further flexibility, while a study provides the option of a ground floor bedroom if required.
The kitchen to the front of the house is fitted with a range of wall and floor units, solid wood work surfaces, larder cupboard and both gas and electric hobs with extractor. There is space for appliances including fridge/freezer and dishwasher, along with a useful rear utility/prep area. A peninsula unit separates the kitchen from the dining room, which enjoys a bright south-facing outlook and doors opening directly onto the terrace a perfect spot for entertaining. Beyond, a rear lobby links to the drive and also houses a modern lift that rises to the first floor. Completing the ground floor is a utility room and an integral single garage with both front and garden access. A turning staircase rises to the first-floor landing, where a study area with fitted bookshelves and desk makes an excellent work-from-home space. The principal bedroom enjoys dual aspects with far-reaching views across the Wildbrooks and the gardens below. Glazed doors open to a private balcony, while an internal door links to the lift for easy access. An adjoining bathroom serves this bedroom. There are three further bedrooms on this floor, all with a bright southerly outlook and fitted storage, plus a family bathroom. The staircase continues up to the second floor where a further fifth bedroom awaits, with doors to a balcony that enjoys panoramic views towards the Downs. Beyond, two interconnecting attic rooms with Velux windows provide excellent scope as hobby rooms, studios or simply valuable storage.
