4 bedroom detached house

The property offers an exciting opportunity to purchase a substantial farmstead comprising a period but unlisted red-brick and tile-hung detached farmhouse in need of renovation, and
a stylish modern detached annexe.
The farmhouse is accessed via a central entrance hall and kitchen with a bay window and stairs to the first floor. The accommodation flows through a range of versatile living spaces, including a spacious 22 ft. multi-aspect sitting room with a feature fireplace and wide French doors to the garden, a light-filled vaulted and part-glazed south-facing sun room and a cosy adjacent study, with a bright dining room featuring a log-burning stove. Completing the ground floor is a generous utility room, store and a shower room. The first floor houses a well-sized family bathroom and three wellproportioned bedrooms with tranquil views of the surrounding garden.

The stylish brick-built annexe is entered via a porch to a vaulted open-plan sitting/dining area which flows naturally into an attractive modern kitchen with a range of cabinetry, worksurfaces and appliances with bi-folding doors to the private terrace and gardens. Further is a large double-aspect bedroom well served by a modern shower room.

The property comes complete with 21.5 acres of farmland, along with two outbuildings, a large hay barn and an additional barn both in need of some repairs. Beside the annexe is a useful garden store and stepped paved sun terrace, whilst the considerable pretty landscaped gardens feature enclosed expanses of level lawn. A range of vibrant mature shrubs and trees surround the main home.

The property is in a peaceful rural setting within two miles of the Chalvington village, with nearby Ripe and Lewes which has a mainline station providing links to London. Noted schools include Bede’s, Lewes Old Grammar, Eastbourne College and Brighton College.
