Enjoy the luxury finish in this bright four bedroom house with a big, sunny garden, off street parking for two cars and sweeping views to open countryside. An ideal home or investment with a large attic if you want to grow (stnc), this house is also future proof with a peaceful ground floor en-suite bedroom, perfect for intergenerational living! Within a 5 minute radius of a good primary and secondary school it is in a super location, and inside has plenty of character with oak laminate flooring and a wood burning stove in the spacious living room and private dining room, which opens to the garden. Good to go, the stylish kitchen with quarry tiles also has easy access to the garden which is an unusually large oasis for al fresco entertaining. Upstairs, three inviting bedrooms are ready for your move, completely private with open views, and the bathroom has a fabulous, VIP attitude already.

Within easy reach of a station serving London via Gatwick and close to Hollingbury Park which leads to Downland and has a playground, café and sports facilities, Hollingbury includes the village atmosphere of Fiveways, given a top spot in the Sunday Times Best Places to Live Guide, and has always been favoured by locals seeking a spacious house with parking and a garden, and investors are now noticing that although quiet, it is well-connected with buses serving every part of the city and Ditchling Road around the corner, which connects to the A27 and the city centre.

Why you’ll like it:
Making the most of its elevated position at the top of the city with sweeping views and uninterrupted light, this modern house with double glazing is in an easy going, unpretentious area with a healthy mix of private and authority run homes with the village atmosphere of Fiveways and friendly parade of shops both just a short drive.

The approach is appealing with smart off street parking and a driveway whilst a path steps down to statement planting -and a choice of front door! The main door opens to a big, bright room with a fabulous 6.66m x 3.2m (21’10 x 10’6) of living space, where people and pets can relax with visitor friendly oak laminate flooring underfoot and a wood burning stove to enjoy. There is a seamless flow to the dining area which is light and airy during summer when French doors open to the garden, but warm and welcoming in the cooler months as guests can dine in comfortable seclusion by the wood burner. Connected to the bright and cheerful kitchen entertaining is easy, although the streamlined working areas are ingeniously out of sight. Good to go with a practical layout and worksurfaces which can also be lit from above, the sleek touch hob and oven are integrated for you beneath a hood, a microwave is at eye level and plumbing is in place for a machine.

Beautifully organised for a member of the family, the ground floor bedroom area has its own entrance from the front which opens to a hallway with inviting glimpses of the garden through a back door, and a second doorway connects to the main house via the kitchen – very useful for inter-generational living or if you wanted an occasional income. The bedroom itself is stylish and quiet and the en- suite shower room is chic with a high end finish.

Back to the main house, upstairs the first floor has access to the attic (food for thought perhaps) and a luxury bathroom with a dual head shower above the bath has a glamorous finish. Three light and airy bedrooms, one at the front and two at the rear all have open views and fitted storage, and with inspiring views to rolling downland the smallest room, which still has a generous 3.16m x 2.22m (10’4 x 7’3) to play with, could be the perfect nursery or a private spot from which to work from home.

Outside, the garden is an oasis of calm for you to make your own, but the hard work has been done with two paved, sun terraces by the house and a path between twin large lawns for play which leads to an area with a timber shed and a greenhouse, where some neighbours have constructed timber cabins…stnc.

Owner’s secret:
“All the rooms are light as you are above the valley and the layout is easy to live in as well as ideal for entertaining. The garden is big and sunny with great views and although you don’t feel hemmed in here, you are just minutes from the city but return to peace and easy parking! There is a lovely community here as the location is ideal for schools, parks and the London commute, and there are lots of amenities with Fiveways and Carden Avenue shops close by.”
