Set on a generous corner plot along the ever-popular Wanderdown Way, this beautifully modernised detached 1970s home enjoys an elevated position with far-reaching views across the South Downs. Offered with no onward chain and thoughtfully reimagined by the current owners, it’s a true turn-key home in a wonderfully enviable setting.  The approach sets the tone immediately. A landscaped frontage, generous off-street parking and a smart, well-presented exterior create a real sense of space and privacy.  Inside, the layout has been carefully considered to suit modern living. A spacious, neutrally decorated hallway runs through the heart of the home, with all rooms tucked neatly away behind dark wooden doors. To the front, a generous double bedroom benefits from two fitted wardrobes, while across the hall the principal suite has been designed as a calm and private retreat. Dual-aspect windows flood the room with natural light and frame leafy views, while a walk-in wardrobe adds flexibility and could easily be reinstated as a third bedroom if required. The adjoining en-suite is finished with Villeroy & Boch fittings, creating a sleek, spa-like feel.  A separate family bathroom matches the same luxurious specification, complete with bath and shower over, WC, bidet and basin, with both bathrooms benefiting from underfloor heating.  To the rear, the main living space is a real highlight. Bright and double-aspect, the lounge opens through French doors onto the south-facing garden, while sliding doors to the north lead out onto a balcony - allowing the home to connect effortlessly with its surroundings. Whether hosting friends or enjoying a quiet evening watching the light roll across the hills, this is a space designed to be lived in and enjoyed.  At the heart of the home sits a striking open-plan kitchen, finished to an exceptional standard with integrated Fisher & Paykel appliances, including a wine fridge, paired with a Franke sink and beautifully appointed dark cabinetry topped with a marble work surface. A generous central island provides a refined breakfast bar and natural gathering point, making the space equally suited to relaxed everyday living and sophisticated entertaining.  The former garage has been thoughtfully converted into a dedicated home office, ideal for remote working and adding further flexibility to the layout. Looking ahead, approved planning permission is already in place to extend the property into a substantialfive-bedroom, four-bathroom house, offering exciting future potential to maximise on space and the exceptional views.   Outside, the south-facing garden enjoys sunshine throughout the day, providing a peaceful and private backdrop that changes with the seasons. Whether entertaining on the terrace, tending to the garden or simply unwinding, it’s a space that invites you to slow down and enjoy the surroundings.   Additional property information  Property type: Detached
