Property description & features
- Tenure: Freehold
Charles Wycherley Independent Estate Agents are delighted to present Flintwell to the open market for the first time in so many years. The property has a most attractive double-front with entrance porch, approached from a long drive off the country lane with parking and an attractive front courtyard. The house is attached to the Coach House with attached garages and an ‘L' shape to a one bedroom annexe. The ground floor has a raised entrance area looking over a magnificent 28' x 16' (8.53m x 4.88m) sitting room with high ceiling, feature fireplace, gallery/study area and feature window. The house has a formal west facing dining room, an ‘L' shaped kitchen/breakfast room, study/bedroom (4), garden room, boiler room, utility with 2 cloakrooms, all servicing the rear courtyard. The first floor has a large rear landing with three double bedrooms and two bathrooms (1 ensuite). The central suite could potentially be divided into two bedrooms. The property has oil fired central heating and superb features including exposed beams, fireplace, sash windows and attractive staircase. The rear garden is a particular feature being walled and very large, 145' x 110' (44.20m x 33.53m), with fruit trees, shrubs, perennials and bulbs and there is rear gate access with outbuildings and additional front and rear courtyards.
To find a property in Iford, much less such a magnificent house such as Flintwell, is rare indeed. This hamlet is in the heart of the countryside and yet just two miles out of Lewes, just beyond Kingston and Swanborough, set in a farming community. A footpath can be joined over countryside and it is a short bicycle ride into the town or alternatively just four miles from the coast via the C7. Lewes, a former market town and the county town of East Sussex, has a most interesting and historical core of period buildings including the Norman Castle. This stunning town has many independent shops, cafes, restaurants, public houses as well as three superstores, the superb Depot Cinema and mainline Railway Station (London Victoria 65 mins & London Bridge 90 mins). There are excellent state and private schools in the immediate area, also Glyndebourne Opera House, many sporting facilities and easy access to Brighton with the universities, Gatwick and London via the A27/A23 connection.

Charles was within a fifth generation of estate agent in the Wycherley firm, starting in 1853 in Keere Street, previous generations dealing with Leonard and Virginia Woolf purchasing The Round House, Pipe Passage and most famously Monks House in Rodmell. Three generations alone are mentioned in the popular historical book ‘Mrs Dudeney’s Diary’.

Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:
Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s
The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2
Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
