3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Kings Ride, Alfriston, East Sussex BN26

Occupying the finest position within this exclusive and much sought after downland village development of just 17 homes - A superbly presented and substantially improved 3/4 bedroom town house within the picturesque downland village of Alfriston.

Forming part of White Court, an exclusive development of just seventeen homes arranged around an important Arts and Crafts-style manor house, Number 1 enjoys what is arguably the finest position, at the furthest point from Kings Ride and immediately adjoining approximately two acres of beautifully maintained, park-like residents' gardens. The house commands exceptional, far-reaching views across Alfriston, the Cuckmere Valley and the surrounding South Downs National Park. The present owners have substantially improved the accommodation, including the stylish refitting of the kitchen with a range of high-specification appliances. The versatile arrangement provides three bedrooms together with a separate study and a generous ground-floor room, currently used as a double bedroom but equally well suited as a formal dining room. This room also offers potential for the creation of an adjoining shower room, subject to any necessary consents. The spacious first-floor sitting room opens onto a large, sheltered balcony wrapping around the south and west elevations.

Enviably situated within the White Court development being the furthest away from Kings Ride and immediately adjacent to the beautifully maintained two acres of resident only park like gardens which rise above a spectacular backdrop with expansive views across the Wealden Southdown National Park. Alfriston provides an excellent range of fine dining venues including Alex Polizzi’s “The Star” as well as the recently refurbished Alfriston Spa Hotel. The village also provides an excellent primary school, shops, community hall, doctors surgery and the beautiful Grade 1 listed St Andrews Church known as the “Cathedral of the Downs”. The entire village sits within the National Park and the scenic Cuckmere valley with miles of downland countryside to the west providing wonderful outdoor recreational opportunities and to the South the river Cuckmere flows to the world famous Seven Sisters and Beachy Head white cliffs. Berwick station is only about 2 miles distant with mainline rail services running to London Victoria and Gatwick Airport. Sporting facilities in the area include 3 principal golf courses at Eastbourne as well as tennis at The David Lloyd Club. There is world class opera at nearby Glyndebourne and channel ferries operate from Newhaven.
