4 bedroom detached house for sale

Balancing home comforts, luxury living and the calm of the countryside, this attractive four-bedroom family home sits on the border of the South Downs National Park in the village of Ringmer, just a few miles from the County town of Lewes and some of the most picturesque countryside in the country. It has well-appointed, generous rooms which include two reception rooms leading out to a leafy garden with ample space for children to play. Built just five-years ago, this home comes with building guarantees to reassure new owners they can enjoy their home for many years to come.

Built as one of 10 luxury homes in Bishops Lane, these properties have an air of exclusivity, forming a secure and welcoming community of their own on a peaceful cul-de-sac. Only the finest fixtures, fittings, materials and technologies were used in their creation, so you can move straight in with ease and start enjoying the space. This is one of the largest houses in the development, with space for entertaining and family time, in versatile rooms which will evolve as the family grows.

Externally, these homes have been built to sit sympathetically with their countryside surroundings. Hung tiles on red brick facades, tiled porches and garage roofs feature alongside beamed gables, feeling every inch the country abode.

Stepping inside, the interior design has also been carefully considered, following current trends to create streamlined and homely spaces, ready for the modern lifestyle. High end appliances have been integrated into the kitchen while immaculate tiling and gleaming white sanitaryware can be found in the bathrooms – of which this house has two including the en suite to the principal bedroom. In addition, there is a ground floor WC – an essential in any family home. All four bedrooms are double offering versatile spaces for families and couples looking for space to work from home or host guests.

The garage is double, offering a vast amount of space as a workshop, for storage or for parking precious vehicles and bikes, although it could also be converted into a habitable space depending on the needs of the family.

Spanning the southerly wing of the house with triple aspect windows and doors leading out to the landscaped garden, the generous sitting room offers plenty of space for the family to come together in the evening on comfortable furnishings. Across the hall, the kitchen and dining room become a second sociable space for dinner parties or family meals, with an informal dining space at the breakfast bar.

Stepping outside is a treat for the senses in the garden, which is perfectly low maintenance, but has plenty of scope for further landscaping should you choose. West facing, it is a suntrap during summer where you can sit out and watch the sun set over the trees. There is a lovely lawn for children to play and beyond this, Sussex countryside is waiting to be explored, abundant with wildlife and birdsong in the trees.

Returning inside, all four bedrooms are carpeted underfoot, with space for double beds and freestanding bedroom furnishings without compromising on floor space. All rooms have tranquil, verdant views to wake up to each day and energy efficient double glazing will also ensure a warm and restful night’s sleep.
