The property is a distinguished Sussex home of great character, originally dating from the 17th century and sympathetically extended over time to create a superb family residence. The property showcases period heritage through exposed oak timbers, an inglenook fireplace and thoughtful modern additions have introduced light, space and contemporary comfort.
The ground floor features a series of well-planned and welcoming spaces. The kitchen is fitted with bespoke cabinetry, granite worktops and an Aga range is set within the original inglenook fireplace beneath exposed beams, complemented by a separate utility area, and downstairs cloakroom.
