A Rare and Enchanting Home in the Heart of the South Downs

Welcome to The Old School House—a unique and character-filled period property nestled in the breathtaking surroundings of the South Downs National Park.

Steeped in history and once home to the local village school, this distinctive residence offers an idyllic rural lifestyle with charm in every corner and uninterrupted views across open countryside.

The property provides over 1,850 sq ft of beautifully bright and versatile living space, with three spacious bedrooms and an array of original features.

The heart of the home is the magnificent open-plan sitting and dining room, where a striking vaulted ceiling and tall former schoolhouse windows fill the space with natural light and a sense of grandeur. Wooden flooring and original details add warmth and character throughout.

There’s a second reception room—perfect as a cosy family snug or home office—as well as a delightful conservatory for enjoying the garden views year-round. The kitchen is well-equipped with integrated appliances and clever storage, including a handy utility cupboard with plumbing for a washing machine.

Two comfortable double bedrooms and a family bathroom are located on the ground floor, while the stunning principal bedroom upstairs offers complete privacy and panoramic views over the rolling hills—a true sanctuary.

Outside, the property enjoys a generous garden plot surrounded by nature, with plenty of space for entertaining, family life, or simply soaking up the tranquillity of its setting. A large shingle driveway provides ample parking, along with access to a detached garage.

Location-wise, you're perfectly positioned between the picturesque villages of Iford and Kingston, just south of Lewes.

Enjoy a peaceful rural atmosphere with easy access to village amenities, excellent local schools, and the vibrant historic town of Lewes just a short drive away, offering boutique shops, cafés, restaurants and a mainline train station.
