About this property

A truly exceptional home with fantastic views of the South Downs, Wayside beautifully combines the charm and character of a traditional cottage with a sophisticated contemporary extension, creating a wonderfully individual property that has been thoughtfully transformed for modern family living.

Approached via a shared driveway, the property retains an attractive cottage appearance from the road, offering a charming first impression and a nod to its longstanding family heritage. The driveway continues to the rear, where gated access provides parking for multiple vehicles.

Inside, the character of the original cottage is immediately apparent. You enter the property via an enclosed porch, leading through into a welcoming sitting room, where a feature wood-burning stove creates a warm and inviting focal point. From here, the home opens into the impressive kitchen and dining space, where the quality of the materials, considered design and exceptional finish are immediately evident.
Double doors lead through to the rear of the property, where the accommodation becomes particularly well suited to modern family life. A useful utility room provides excellent practical space, with an additional room currently arranged as a home gym, although this could equally serve as a study, hobbies room or children's playroom.

The real showstopper is the spectacular rear living room.
Generously proportioned and flooded with natural light, this wonderful space features expansive bi-fold doors which open the room to the garden and frame the breath taking views beyond towards the Downs. It is a space designed for entertaining, relaxing and making the most of the property's beautiful rural setting. A convenient cloakroom completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, there are four well-proportioned bedrooms, together with a stylish family bathroom. The guest bedroom benefits from its own en-suite shower room, while the principal bedroom is particularly impressive.

Beautifully appointed and wonderfully spacious, it enjoys a private en-suite, dressing room and access to a balcony, where opening the doors reveals an exceptional outlook across the Downs - an idyllic spot in which to enjoy the changing seasons.

Outside
Outside, the garden is a generous and attractive extension of the home, providing plenty of space for outdoor entertaining, children and relaxation. A newly constructed carport adds further practicality and character, while its versatile design means it could equally lend itself to a fabulous covered alfresco dining or entertaining area.

Situation
Situated in an idyllic countryside setting on the outskirts of Danehill, within the High Weald National Landscape (formerly the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty), this exceptional location enjoys direct access to Ashdown Forest and offers a peaceful rural lifestyle in the heart of the famous Winnie-the-Pooh countryside.

Despite its tranquil surroundings, Chelwood Gate is well connected, lying between Haywards Heath (approximately 8 miles to the west) and Uckfield (around 6.6 miles to the south-east). With easy access to the A22, the village combines excellent transport links with the beauty and serenity of the surrounding countryside. It is also conveniently located for the highly regarded Cumnor House and Great Walstead schools.
