House For Sale £1,595,000
A substantial and character filled detached family house situated in a convenient village location with a large south facing garden and glorious views of the South Downs
Ditchling, with its beautiful views of the South Downs, is a historic village playing host to a selection of local shops, cafés, a church, and two public houses including The Bull, an award-winning gastro pub. The larger village of Hassocks, with its mainline train station, is a short drive away and provides regular rail services to London and a more comprehensive array of shops. The local area benefits from a range of outstanding state and private schools for all ages.
Prominently positioned in a highly convenient location just a stones’ throw from the centre of the village and local primary school, this detached family house amasses to 2,677 sq ft (inc. garage). Having been extended and well maintained by the vendors, the property boasts a wealth of character features including feature wall panelling, focal fireplaces and handmade bespoke kitchen. A grand entrance hall gives access to the 3 reception rooms on the ground floor. Of particular note is the sitting room boasting floor to ceiling feature wood panelling and an original open fireplace. It should also be noted that the study benefits from electric underfloor heating. The double aspect kitchen/breakfast room runs from front to back and benefits from a wonderful handmade kitchen with basalt worksurfaces, underfloor heating and bi-fold doors opening out onto the substantial south facing garden. Stairs from the entrance hall rise to the first floor where 4 double bedrooms reside all benefiting from glorious views of the South Downs. The bedrooms are serviced by both a family bathroom and shower room along with the principal bedroom having the benefit of an en-suite shower room. The rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn and extends to the south and is beautifully landscaped with mature and established shrubs running along the borders creating a sizable private garden to relax or entertain in. The gravel driveway at the front of the property provides ample parking and access to the attached garage.
