Available with no onward chain.

The house is approached via a long driveway for vehicles and covered entrance, opening into a generous reception hallway with a cloaks cupboard, loft access and a split-level cloakroom. Glazed doors lead into the triple aspect sitting room, a light-filled space that takes full advantage of the surrounding scenery. Sliding patio doors open into the conservatory, which provides access to the side and rear gardens. A brick-built chimney breast with open fire adds character.

The dining room sits just off the sitting room and comfortably accommodates a large table and chairs, with a side window enjoying views across the side garden and farmland beyond. A serving hatch links directly to the kitchen/breakfast room, which is fitted with a generous range of units and work surfaces extending into a breakfast bar. The kitchen also offers an electric oven with hob, a double drainer sink, space for appliances and direct access to the side garden.

The room is fitted with mirror-fronted wardrobes that enhance both light and space and benefits from an en-suite shower room with a double shower unit. Two further double bedrooms share a family bathroom, which is complemented by a generous linen cupboard.

The house sits within gardens that wrap around all four sides of the property, offering both privacy and beauty. To the north, low hedgerows ensure uninterrupted views across the adjacent farmland and South Downs. The grounds are mainly laid to lawn with colourful flower borders, shrubs and mature bushes, interspersed with paved patio areas for outdoor dining. In the South corner lies a more traditional garden space, featuring fruit trees, a greenhouse, boiler room, compost area and part rose-covered trellis that discreetly conceals the oil tank. A summerhouse, two outside taps and drying area complete the setting.

This is a home that not only offers generous accommodation and versatility but also embraces its idyllic position, making the most of the stunning surroundings and village charm of Rodmell.
