Combine the living space, flexibility and the most glorious rural views over Chailey Common, this is an opportunity not to be missed.
Upon entry you are welcomed by the long entrance hallway with leads to each ground floor room. The inviting sitting room is superb and extends to over 20ft and enjoys a dual aspect with lovely views over the garden and an impressive fireplace with log burner – perfect for those winter evenings.
The 22ft kitchen/diner is a sociable space and has been fitted with modern units, soft-close drawers, and a central island & breakfast bar. There is a plenty of worksurface and storage space and a ‘Rangemaster’ cooker.
The ground floor also boasts a most flexible family room which is ideal as a playroom or as a space to work from home. This room could easily be used as a ground floor double bedroom and would be served by the stylish ground floor shower room.
On the first floor are three sizeable double bedrooms and the contemporary (refitted 2017) family bathroom with separate walk-in shower with ‘drench’ overhead shower & vertical water jets. The master bedroom in particular is quite superb, boastings exceptional views over rolling countryside and doors out on to a private west facing balcony.

Further attributes include oil fired central heating and double glazing throughout.
