Guide Price £1,295,000
Privately positioned along a quiet drive yet within easy reach of the centre of the village, this beautifully presented and sympathetically extended home is surrounded by exceptional gardens and grounds, offering a rare combination of privacy, flexibility and convenience. Thoughtfully adapted for modern family life, the property combines well-proportioned accommodation with a wealth of natural light, oak detailing and a particularly attractive setting. The ground floor is centred around a generous sitting room with central fireplace and glazed doors opening directly onto the gardens. Beyond, the superb kitchen/breakfast room is filled with natural light beneath a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and leads through to a substantial utility room housing further appliances. Also on this floor is a double bedroom and generous wet room with wall-mounted shower, providing useful flexibility for guests, family members or those seeking the convenience of single-storey living. An attractive oak staircase leads to the first floor, where three further bedrooms and the family bathroom are arranged. The principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobe cupboards and an en-suite shower room, while the oak detailing continues throughout, adding warmth and character to the accommodation. Outside, the property is approached via a private lane and driveway, providing off street parking and is surrounded by beautifully maintained gardens and grounds. South facing lawns extend from the rear patio, framed by established trees, mature shrubs and richly planted borders. A productive kitchen garden with raised vegetable beds adds further interest, while a substantial oak studio with adjoining store and a separate timber summer house provide useful and versatile additional space, suitable for home working, hobbies, fitness or creative pursuits.
Ditchling, nestled within the South Downs National Park, is a historic village playing host to a selection of local shops, cafes, a church and two public houses which include The Bull, an award-winning gastro pub. The larger village of Hassocks is a short drive away, as is the city of Brighton and Hove, both offering mainline train connections to London as well as a greater array of shops and restaurants. This area of Sussex also benefits from a variety of superb private and state schools for all ages, within easy reach of the village.
