Lewes Road, Piddinghoe, Newhaven BN9

Riverside Retreat with Panoramic Views – This detached four-bedroom home of over 2000 sq ft -built circa 1970 in a striking contemporary design-offers a rare opportunity to embrace a truly inspiring lifestyle.

Set in an unrivalled location adjacent to the River Ouse and the South Downs Way, this beautifully cared-for and tastefully modernised home provides versatile and adaptable accommodation with breath-taking panoramic views stretching over the river and the rolling Downs beyond.

Inside, the generous sitting/dining room is bathed in natural light, flowing through to a bright conservatory-the perfect place to take in the sweeping views and ever-changing landscape.

The kitchen, also enjoying river vistas, is ideally positioned for morning coffee with a view. Downstairs also includes a separate office, utility room, and an integral double garage, making this an ideal property for home working or multigenerational living.

Upstairs offers four well-sized bedrooms, including a main bedroom with a dressing room, plus two bathrooms, making the layout functional yet flexible for families, guests, or even those looking to create additional workspace or leisure areas.

Outside, the gardens are a true highlight-set directly on the banks of the River Ouse, they are predominantly laid to lawn and include a private mooring, wrought iron ladder leading to a jetty, and a charming enclosed walled vegetable garden offering a peaceful retreat with a high degree of privacy.

The home is approached via a sweeping tarmacadam driveway, shared with just two neighbouring properties, providing ample off-road parking.

This property enjoys an enviable position in the small village of Piddinghoe, just a short drive from the historic town of Lewes (approximately 5 miles), where there is a mainline station offering regular train services to London Victoria, Brighton, and Eastbourne.

The vibrant city of Brighton is around 25 minutes by car, offering a wealth of shopping, dining, and entertainment, while Eastbourne is approximately 35 minutes away with its beaches and scenic coastal walks. Excellent road links via the A26 and A27 make the property well-connected for commuters or those who enjoy exploring the South Downs and coastline.

Families will also appreciate the area’s strong selection of schools. Highly regarded primary schools can be found in nearby Peacehaven, Iford & Kingston, and Lewes. For older students, Priory School in Lewes and Seaford Head School are popular state options, while Lewes Old Grammar School, Brighton College, and Roedean School offer excellent independent alternatives within easy reach.

This is more than just a home-it's a lifestyle. Whether you're seeking a countryside escape, a riverside retreat, or a place to live and work in harmony with nature, this unique property must be seen to be fully appreciated.
