House For Sale £1,100,000
Tara is quaintly settled at the foot of Ditchling Beacon in the South Downs National Park less than a mile from the centre of the picturesque and historic village of Ditchling. This detached property has been updated to create a stylish home and is deceptively spacious, offering over 2000 sq ft of space with four good-size bedrooms and
generous open plan living space, ideal for entertaining at home. The house is situated down a peaceful country lane enjoying wonderful views of Ditchling Beacon and the surrounding unspoilt countryside yet still within easy reach of the village’s plentiful amenities and affords the
protection of being in the South Downs National Park. The attractive property has been improved over the years to suit contemporary family life, with a pleasingly neutral colour palette ripe for personalisation by the new owner. Highlights include the spacious bedrooms, handsome kitchen and bright conservatory with its pitched glass ceiling and painted flagstone flooring, which offers an alternative space to dine with a view of the charmingly landscaped garden.
The accommodation is well proportioned with a
versatile layout and large windows providing a feeling of light and space throughout, with a handful of rooms benefitting from lovely views overlooking the surrounding countryside. The property is accessed via a welcoming entrance hall which leads to an open plan sitting/family room with a marble-effect fireplace and double doors
to a conservatory, a generously sized triple aspect
kitchen fitted with attractive cabinetry and integrated appliances, and a separate utility room. The well-appointed principal bedroom boasts bespoke built-in wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom, the second bedroom benefits from an en-suite toilet and double doors to the rear garden, whilst the third and fourth bedroom are both of good size, with one currently in use as a study, and have access to a family shower room with ample storage space.
Outside
The house is set on the highly desirable Underhill
Lane, set alongside fields and fronted by a good-sized driveway with space for several cars. The rear garden is attractively landscaped and mostly laid to neat lawn, which is bordered by flowerbeds and mature shrubs. There is a shed for storage, while paved patio and gravelled areas are ideal spots to sit and enjoy the lovely views of the South Downs.
Situation
The property is situated in the South Downs National Park at the base of the famous Ditchling Beacon, less than a mile from the picturesque downland village of Ditchling. The village has a variety of local shops, a post office, a church, a primary school and the Ditchling Museum of Art and Craft. There are a good choice of cafés, such as The Green Welly, and pubs including The Bull and The White Horse. A wider range of shops is available at Hassocks, about two miles to the west,
which also has a mainline train station to London Bridge/Victoria (approximately 55 minutes). The city of Brighton and the south coast are about nine miles distant. The M23/A23 provides good access to Gatwick and the national motorway network. There are a number of excellent schools in the area, including Ditchling C of E Primary School, Downlands Community Secondary School in Hassocks, Hurstpierpoint College, Burgess Hill
School for Girls and Brighton College.
