A sizable and well extended detached family house, situated along a private road in a central village position, benefiting from a south facing landscaped garden, off street parking and a detached double garage

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.

Centrally positioned in a highly enviable position along a private road this sizable detached house has all the amenities the village has to offer on its doorstep. Originally constructed in 2000 by ‘Hillreed Homes’, and extended 2 years ago by the current vendor, this family house amasses to approximately 2,942 sq ft (inc. double garage). The entrance hall runs around a sizable central staircase and provides access to the majority of the reception rooms. Flexibility is provided in the 5 reception rooms on the ground floor along with a kitchen/breakfast and useful utility room. The sizable sitting room has a glorious inglenook fireplace with oak bressummer and seamlessly leads through to the light and airy garden room with vaulted ceiling and door opening onto the rear paved terrace. Stairs lead to the first floor galleried landing where 5 bedrooms and a family bathroom reside. The principal bedroom and bedroom 2 are serviced by en-suite facilities and all the bedrooms benefit from generous storage and wardrobe cupboards. It should also be noted that the south facing bedrooms benefits from glorious views of the South Downs. The rear south facing garden is predominantly laid to lawn with a beautiful central rose arch. A sizable paved terrace looks out over the garden which are privately screened by mature shrubs and silver birch trees. Accessed via timber 5 bar gates, the driveway at the front of the property provides parking for several cars and access to the detached double garage with electric roller doors.
