Guide Price £3,000,000
Ditchling, with its beautiful views of the South Downs, is a historic village playing host to a selection of local shops, cafés, a church, and two public houses including The Bull, an award-winning gastro pub. The larger village of Hassocks, with its mainline train station, is a short drive away and provides regular rail services to London and a more comprehensive array of shops. The local area benefits from a range of revered state and private schools for all ages.
Lying at the foot of the South Downs in a tranquil and private location, this sizable property with a range of outbuildings sits centrally within its private gardens and grounds of approximately 4.33 acres. The house arranged over 3 floors has grown over the years and benefits from 4 sizable reception rooms and a lovely light conservatory. The large kitchen/breakfast room has been re fitted in recent years with the addition of a large centre island unit and a range of wall and base units all with granite work surfaces. There is a useful utility room housing a range of integrated appliances. 5 bedrooms are serviced by 3 bathrooms arranged over the first and second floor. Of particular note is the principal bedroom suite with south facing balcony and large en-suite bathroom with separate shower. Within the wonderfully landscaped gardens and grounds lies a large 3 bedroom annexe perfect for guest accommodation. Next to this is a walled outdoor heated pool and substantial pool house complete with kitchenette, shower and changing facilities along with reception areas. Access is via a set of wrought iron gates to the sweeping driveway providing ample parking and access to the attached triple garage. Beautifully maintained gardens surround the property on all sides. Various patios and terraces adjoin the property on the south side flanked by a substantial koi pond with views over the gloriously mature gardens, tennis court and the South Downs. Further land to the north includes a full size, well maintained banked football pitch and an area of copse. A selection of workshops and stores provide further storage.
