Duckings is understood to date from the 16th century with later additions and provides well-arranged and beautifully presented light accommodation with generous ceiling heights for a property of its age. The kitchen/breakfast room is a particular feature of the house, and is fitted with a range of wooden fronted units and to one end of the kitchen/breakfast room there is a sitting area. The reception rooms are ideally arranged for formal and informal entertaining, and are complemented by five bedrooms and four bathrooms. All the bathrooms are fitted with white suites, and both the principal bedroom and guest bedroom have superb vaulted ceilings. There are lovely views over the property’s gardens and grounds.

Duckings is approached via an impressive entrance drive, which is bordered by some magnificent mature trees, and lies in an elevated position on the edge of the village of Blackboys with its popular public house and primary school.

Duckings is approached from Stonebridge Lane via an impressive sweeping entrance drive, which leads up to the front of the house. To the rear of the house is a paved terrace, from which there is a lovely outlook over the gardens and grounds. The grounds have been attractively landscaped over the years, with numerous specimen shrubs, some beautiful mature trees, old brick walls and clipped hedges and the current owner has planted a large number of trees. The swimming pool is set into a paved surround, beyond which is the all-weather tennis court. There is a picturesque four-bay period open fronted cart lodge with two attached
stores. Attached to the cart lodge is a shower/ changing room.

Some distance to the south west of the house, is a substantial outbuilding, providing a games room, studio and cloak/shower room and there is a small three-bay pole barn and an area of additional parking. In addition to the main drive, there is a rear drive, which provides access to Lewes Road. The remainder of the land is divided into two paddock areas.
