5 bed detached house for sale

North End, Ditchling BN6

A significantly updated and remodelled detached house, boasting versatile accommodation and set in an elevated private position in landscaped gardens with glorious views towards Lodge Hill just minutes’ walk from the centre of the village

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 outstanding state and private schools for all ages.

‘Fathersham’ is set back off the road and sits in a glorious elevated plot with west facing landscaped gardens and picturesque views extending towards Lodge Hill. Having been significantly updated and completely remodelled, this elegantly styled property boasts versatile accommodation arranged over two floors. The hub of the house is the open plan and wonderfully light kitchen/breakfast/sitting room with a focal wood burning stove and doors opening out onto the rear landscaped garden. A bedroom and shower room reside on the ground floor along with a further reception room/bedroom five. A door via the utility room gives internal access to the integral garage. An oak and glass staircase lead to the first floor where there are three bedrooms and a family bathroom. Of particular note is the principal bedroom suite benefiting from a range of fitted wardrobe cupboards, large en-suite bathroom with free standing bath and a covered balcony making it a wonderful spot for morning coffee. Bedroom two also benefits from an en-suite shower room. The mature landscaped gardens extend to the south and west and are predominantly laid to lawn interspersed with a row of fruit trees and colourful well stocked shrub and plant beds. A private patio adjoins the rear of the property and established hedgerow creates a wonderfully private space. The driveway to the front of the property provides ample off street parking and access to the integral garage.
