The entrance via a spacious vestibule, leads to three principal reception rooms. The sitting room, featuring an open fireplace as its focal point, is connected to the dining room by double doors and enjoys wonderful views over the south facing garden. A bright garden room opens directly onto the rear terrace, while the kitchen/breakfast room lies to the front of the property and incorporates a useful utility area. The first floor provides four well proportioned double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom benefits from its own en-suite shower room. The south facing gardens command an unrivalled outlook across the South Downs, a view enjoyed by only a select few properties within the village. The private grounds are a blend of formal and natural gardens with mature planting, specimen fruit trees and areas of wild meadow. A large terrace adjoining the rear of the house creates an ideal space for entertaining or simply appreciating the views. At the far end of the garden, a timber gate opens onto a substantial fully fenced field. The front of the property is approached via five bar gates with a sweeping driveway providing ample parking and leading to two garages.
