A sizeable country residence set in a gloriously tranquil position with the South Downs as a backdrop, all set in approximately 7 acres of magnificent private landscaped gardens and grounds with the inclusion of 2 separate paddocks

Ditchling, nestled within the South Downs National Park, is a historic village with a selection of local shops, cafes, a church, and two public houses including The Bull, an award-winning gastro pub. The larger village of Hassocks is a short drive away, as is the city of Brighton and Hove, both offering mainline train connections to London and a greater array of shops and restaurants. This area of Sussex also benefits from a variety of superb private and state schools for all ages, all within easy reach of the village.

Nestled at the foot of the South Downs in an exceptionally calm and private setting, ‘Coombe Wood’ sits centrally within beautifully maintained gardens and grounds of approximately 7 acres, including two separate paddocks. Dating back to the 1870s, the property has evolved into a substantial and elegant country home, offering well-balanced accommodation arranged over three floors. The ground floor provides an excellent range of reception space, with four principal reception rooms and a generous utility room, many of which enjoy uninterrupted views across the landscaped gardens towards the rolling Downs beyond. At the heart of the home lies a superb kitchen/breakfast room, fitted with a comprehensive range of integrated appliances, flowing seamlessly into the sitting room, with both spaces opening out to the gardens and perfectly framing the surrounding scenery. On the first floor, five well-proportioned bedrooms are complemented by a family bathroom and separate shower room. The principal suite enjoys the added luxury of an en-suite shower room and a walk-in dressing room. A further bedroom occupies the second floor, offering flexibility for guests or additional accommodation. The gardens and grounds are a particular feature, extending to both the front and rear. A substantial paved terrace adjoins the house, ideal for outdoor entertaining, leading onto an expanse of lawn interspersed with mature specimen trees and a central nature pond, all set against the striking backdrop of the South Downs. A productive kitchen garden sits alongside a dedicated recreational area. Steps descend to a secluded, enchanting garden, bordered by mature trees and crisscrossed with meandering pathways through areas of wild grass, culminating in a charming shepherd’s hut. Further benefits include a substantial workshop and double garage together with two paddocks accessed via Nye Lane.
