About this property

A charming and characterful partially tile-hung five-bedroom cottage

The property is approached via a solid timber front door that opens into a welcoming tiled entrance hall. The ground floor accommodation comprises a spacious drawing room, formal dining room and a well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room.

The impressive drawing room is a particularly bright and generous family living space, centred around an attractive open fireplace that creates a wonderful focal point and a warm, inviting atmosphere. The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a range of units and offers ample space for a dining table, making it ideal for both everyday family life and informal entertaining.

To the first floor there are six bedrooms, four of which are comfortable double rooms. Bedroom five is currently utilised as a study, offering flexibility for those working from home or requiring additional reception space and bedroom six has been converted into a dressing room.

Completing the first floor are two well-appointed family bathrooms.

Outside
The beautifully maintained gardens wrap around the property, providing a high degree of privacy and seclusion. Thoughtfully landscaped, the grounds feature several seating areas positioned to take advantage of the sun throughout the day, creating the perfect setting for al fresco dining, relaxation and enjoying the peaceful countryside surroundings. There is driveway parking for 5 cars.

Situation
Just two miles to the north is the popular village of Newick, which still has a village shop, bakery, post office, primary school, parish church, pubs, restaurants and a doctor’s surgery and pharmacy. The tiny village of Chailey Green is immediately to the west and home to the Five Bells pub and the beautiful church of St Peter’s.

The property is equidistant between Lewes and Haywards Heath, the latter has a rail station with fast services to London Bridge and London Victoria (approx 45 minutes), London Blackfriars (50 minutes), Gatwick
Airport (10-15 minutes) as well as south to Brighton (20 minutes).
From the house, the M23 is 15 miles to the north with good access to Gatwick Airport (35 minutes from the
house) and central London (two hours).

The area offers an excellent selection of established preparatory and public schools, including Cumnor House, Great Walstead, Hurst College, Brighton College and Brambletye.

Glyndebourne Opera House is about 10 miles to the south and there are numerous golf courses in the area,
including Piltdown, Royal Ashdown, the East Sussex National and Crowborough Beacon. The desirable town of Lewes is 15 minutes to the south and is the gateway to the South Downs National Park with its limitless walking, cycling and riding opportunities. The sweeping views of the Ashdown Forest, home to Winnie the Pooh, are 10 miles north, along with the nationally renowned gardens at Sheffield Park and Wakehurst.

The sale of this property offers a rare opportunity for a new family to refurbish and create their own family home in an unspoilt and idyllic location in the Sussex countryside
