Raring for a change of scene? Swap city pace for rural calm whilst retaining the comforts of contemporary convenience, within this family home in the friendly village of South Chailey.
A traditional home with modern comfort
Balancing comfort, style and convenience, the property was built in 2002 by local builder Stratton Homes. The result is a warm and vibrant family home, designed for entertaining, laughter, love and creating lifelong memories.
Tucked up in a cul-de-sac, close to amenities, park up in front of a double garage where there is space for two to three cars depending on size.
Make your way to the front door. After entering the entrance hall where to the immediate left is a downstairs WC with a wash basin and vanity unit storage - handy for guests.
Welcome home
Ahead is a modern home, decorated in light and bright colours.
Continue through the entrance hall with tile flooring for those muddy boots or a child's pram. Follow into the hallway, where wooden flooring extends underfoot and opulent wallpaper in pink and gold flowers adds a touch of splendour.
Turning to the right, discover the sitting room, lined with laminate flooring and dressed in neutral shades to the walls. On winter evenings, snuggle up on the sofa in front of the glow of the electric fire; behind there is an open fire with a chimney if you wish to install a wood burner. Cosy for all its size, the sitting room is a homely and inviting space for all the family.
Wine and dine
Enjoy pre-dinner drinks in the sitting room before crossing back through the entrance hall for formal feasting in the dining room, with direct access out through French doors onto the patio beyond, perfect for indoor-outdoor dining.
Next door, make your way through to the handy study with a window overlooking the side patio and lawn. Bespoke shelving built by Hammonds gives plenty of space for books and files.
Culinary classic
Returning, again, to the entrance hallway, sate your appetite in the contemporary kitchen-breakfast room.
Here plenty of cabinetry provides a profusion of storage, topped with a green worktop. In addition to a sink, integrated appliances include a Zanussi double oven, a Bloomberg fridge-freezer and there is plumbing for a dishwasher. Above the kitchen sink, large window frames view out over the garden, the perfect spot to watch the birds whilst doing the dishes.
Flow through to the utility room, tiled underfoot and providing additional cupboard storage, with a sink, a Miele washing machine and a tumble dryer. From here, a rear door leads out to the patio, extending across both the kitchen-breakfast and dining room.
And so to bed
Proceed up the lovely staircase, with storage beneath, and turning right, is a family bathroom, tiled in white to the walls and grey linoleum underfoot for a pristine feel. Enjoy a leisurely soak in the bath with a showerhead attachment. There is also a wash basin with vanity unit storage and WC.
The generous principal bedroom with an ensuite is next to your right. Fully carpeted and with ample space for a king-size bed, this room is awash with light courtesy of a soothing, sophisticated double plantation shuttered window to the front. The built-in double wardrobe provides hanging and stacking space for clothes and shoes.
Relax and refresh in the ensuite, with a shower cubicle, wash basin with vanity unit, WC and heated towel rail.
Sneak a peek at the room next door, a perfect guest room or nursery with views to the front and a built-in wardrobe.
Drift off to the second bedroom, where the bright blue wall colour has recently been changed to a light grey where the light shines through the plantation shutters from the window facing out towards the front. Here as in all bedrooms, you will find built-in wardrobes to house family and guests' clothes and shoes.
Returning to the landing, turning right again, bedroom three awaits. Overlooking the rear garden through a broad window, this peaceful bedroom currently accommodates a single bed and built-in wardrobe.
OWNER QUOTE: "It has been a wonderful family home which adapted to our growing family and visiting grandparents alike".
Garden room and garden
From the side, discover the garden room, a flexible, versatile space that currently serves as a garden office and is equipped with power and heating.
In the garden, there is substantial space for the green fingered to let their imaginations run wild. A lawn encircles the home, whilst a perimeter of fencing to the rear, sides and front adds privacy and security.
From your perfectly positioned patio, follow the pavers into the various seating areas. This is such a wonderful garden for children to enjoy ball games or for you to sit and watch the world go by as the lazy bees buzz about in the numerous trees and native shrubs.
Soak up the sunshine as it moves from east to west, north to south throughout the day. Move around the carefully positioned seating areas, such as the garden composite decking seeking sun or shelter and shade beneath the Breeze house. Here many alfresco meals and jugs of Pimms have been enjoyed by family and friends.
OWNER'S SON QUOTE: " I loved growing up here; there's so much space for trampolines, playing in the garden and indoors for gaming and studying. A wonderful childhood, I feel so lucky".
Out and about
Set amidst a courtyard of four homes, the neighbouring families are friendly and extremely helpful taking in parcels for each other.
Step out into the village of South Chailey, one of the longest villages in England and filled with personality and character.
November 5th sees the local bonfire societies parading through the local villages, with the main event held in Lewes.
An area rich in literary heritage, it is believed that the Trumpton stories are based on the villages of Plumpton Green (Trumpton), Wivlesfield Green (Camberwick Green) and Chailey (Chigley).
Sample the food and sip coffee in the numerous cafes and restaurants of Haywards Heath and Lewes. Meanwhile, there is the gastro pub The Five Bells in the village itself, alongside a village shop which has Post Office facilities.
A little over five miles away, enjoy a coffee and a bite to eat at The Elephant Cafe and an evening's food and entertainment and live music at Trading Boundaries. For a more laid-back experience, enjoy brunch at Nutmeg Tree café in Ditchling, regularly frequented by the late great Vera Lynn.
The wine connoisseur is well served with award winning wines from nearby Ridgeview Estates in Ditchling, Plumpton Estates as well as Bluebell Vineyard just north of Sheffield Park.
Enjoy a day at the races at Plumpton Green or make your way to South Downs National Park and the South Downs Way for walks and the restorative pleasures of the countryside, less than five miles away. Further afield, enjoy sea air in Brighton, only 20 miles away via Lewes and the A27.
Sheffield Park National Trust Garden and the Bluebell Steam railway are also five miles away, whilst children and adults alike can't fail to be enchanted by Pooh Bridge and its associations with the lovable Winnie the Pooh, at nearby Ashdown Forest. Closer to home, there are numerous woodland walks around the village including a nearby farm housing a couple of Camels; yes you heard right, you will have the chance to meet Jeffrey and his new companion.
Families are well served by local schooling, with Ofsted rated 'Good' Chailey Secondary School and best state school of its size for 75 miles and numerous primary schools in the area, including Chailey St Peters, Hamsey, Plumpton Green, Wivelsfield Green and Newick.
A GP surgery is available less than a mile away in the village, whilst approximately 2 ½ miles away there is a dentist in North Chailey.
Comfort and practicality combine modern country life with all the convenience, at this vibrant and versatile home.

Places of interest
Bees Homes was founded in 2017 as a result of a very matter of fact observation: “why don’t we do it and do it better?” Creating an agency where the client truly is at the forefront of everything we did was what drove us. In a world where we are transforming how we live, work, shop and buy property, surely it is time for the estate agency rule book to be rewritten? Ana and Paul started their journey by developing an easy to understand approach, where we attract, engage, and delight our clients by providing them with experiences that are relevant, helpful, and bespoke to them. We had a vision: to create an estate agency that specialises in beautiful and stylish properties, providing the highest quality service; to provide a seamless customer experience across every stage of the selling process, making customers feel looked after at every touch-point. Today, we remain a small independently owned award winning business with the same strong values of quality and customer care as when we started.
