The well appointed kitchen/breakfast room features a characterful ‘Aga’ and is complemented by a practical utility room. Upstairs, a galleried landing leads to four well proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom. Both the principal suite and bedroom two benefit from en-suite facilities, while all bedrooms include ample fitted wardrobes. The south facing rooms also enjoy elevated views across to the glorious South Downs. The beautifully landscaped rear garden faces east and has been thoughtfully designed to offer a variety of spaces, including manicured lawns, a paved pergola covered terrace overlooking an immaculate knot garden and a tranquil seating area with an ornamental pond and summer house.
