It is a beautiful family home that has undergone an award-winning architect-designed extension resulting in a fabulous living environment and taking full advantage of the views across the South Downs National Park.

There is a welcoming feel with large a reception space which gives access to the main living area, with high ceilings throughout the Georgian part of the house the sense of space is immediate. Off the main hall is access to two of the bedrooms, a large bathroom and the snug which could also be used as a 5th bedroom. Oak flooring and steps lead down through an eye catching glass link, where you are met by the contrasting larch clad modern extension which houses the superb open-plan kitchen breakfast/family room, with feature full-height picture windows and a skylight above the kitchen units, there is also underfloor heating through the extension. This is an incredible living space, the kitchen area has been designed and built by Leicht the German architectural kitchen brand, with a large centre island and a breakfast bar which creates the real focal point of this room as well as a great space for congregating and entertaining. Slim sliding doors complete this look and there is a large external overhang which provides additional shelter and shade for seating on the rear deck to allow you to enjoy uninterrupted views across the gardens and the South Downs National Park. At the far end of the room is the family living area which offers space for a number of sofas and beyond this space, there is a separate study and shower room.

A utility/boot room is located at the front of the property and makes for a practical set-up.
