With ample built-in storage and an adjoining utility room, it’s as practical as it is stylish. Completing the ground floor is a useful cloakroom with WC.

Upstairs, the first floor offers three bedrooms. The rear principal double bedroom benefits from sliding doors to a balcony, where you can enjoy stunning morning views across the Downs. Another spacious double, with a bay window, lies at the front of the property, while a charming single bedroom is ideal for younger children or as a nursery. A modern family bathroom with separate shower provides comfort and convenience for busy mornings. The top floor opens up to a large fourth bedroom, complete with Velux windows framing views over the Downs, making it an inspiring retreat for older children or guests.

The garden is a particular highlight. A raised deck provides an elevated spot for outdoor dining, while steps lead down to a generous lawn – the perfect play space for children. The garden is beautifully planted with shrubs, flowerbeds and trees, creating a welcoming and safe environment for family life. To the front, there is parking for several cars.
