Electric gates open to a spacious driveway, providing ample parking and turning space for several vehicles. The driveway includes a detached garage with automated shutter door. Once through the gates, the privacy of the plot becomes evident, and the exceptional views immediately capture your attention. Shallow steps lead to the front door.

The front door opens into a spacious entrance hallway. To the left is the principal bedroom, which features a South and West orientation, bathing the room in natural light. This room accommodates a super king-size bed and a separate sofa to admire the farmland views. It also boasts a stunning en-suite bathroom with a large walk-in shower, heated towel rail and electric under floor heating. To the right of the hallway is the family bathroom, featuring separate bath, shower and heated towel rail.

The ground floor living accommodation is versatile. It includes three bedrooms, with bedrooms two and three currently set up as a dressing room and study, respectively, both featuring bay windows.

The kitchen/breakfast/dining room is the hub of the home, offering views over farmland and up to the South Downs. Remodelled by the current owners, it features sleek wall and base storage cupboards, integrated appliances, space for an American fridge/freezer, two double ovens with plate warming trays, and an induction hob with feature extractor fan. The breakfast bar is perfect for morning coffee or evening drinks, while the dining area accommodates a large table and chairs, with patio doors leading to the terrace and garden. The garden can also be accessed through a small porch, leading to an additional outside patio area.

A dual aspect sitting room is located to the rear of the house and a dual fuel stove makes for the perfect focal point. The room can comfortably sit two-three sofas and also allows access onto the terrace and garden through French doors.

The ground floor accommodation is completed with a separate utility room.

On the first floor, there is an additional double bedroom with dual aspect views and eaves storage.

The South Westerly facing gardens and grounds are a standout feature of this home, showcasing expansive lawns and beautifully mixed landscaping. You’ll find a variety of colourful herbaceous plant and shrub beds, complemented by specimen trees and shrubs, all enclosed by mature hedging and fencing, creating a serene, south-westerly facing oasis. There is an additional garden area with an orchard. Closer to the house, a brick and tile outhouse is divided into two garden stores, along with a greenhouse.
