A spacious family home with a wonderful garden in a picturesque village.

Deceptively spacious, this home in Plumpton offers great flexibility, having been extended over the years to create a generous five bedroom detached home with an excellent rear garden – the perfect combination for village life.

A spacious Sitting and Dining Room measuring over 32’ in length provides a wonderful double aspect, with the dining area overlooking the patio. The Kitchen Breakfast Room also looks out over the garden and offers ample storage and prep space, a breakfast bar and access to a rear lobby and cloakroom. The ground floor is completed by a room to the front, which would make an ideal office or playroom.

Upstairs, the space continues to offer plenty of flexibility. There are five bedrooms and an office, with the two bedrooms overlooking the rear garden both benefiting from en-suites. Two further bedrooms and the office are located to the front, while a fifth bedroom and the family bathroom complete the first floor accommodation.

For many, it will be the excellent garden that really sets this home apart. Measuring over 150’, it is arranged in two main areas. The terrace, accessed from the dining area and rear lobby, is perfect for use all year round and also provides access to the rear of the garage, which has an electric door, power and lighting. There is also side access through to the front.

Steps lead down to an extensive lawn bordered by mature planting, with established trees, colourful flowers, shrubs and a large pond with a stone surround. Beyond this, the stream adds to the feeling that you’ve escaped into your own little piece of countryside. To the front, there is ample off-road parking.

In short, this is a substantial and adaptable family home, with five bedrooms, generous living space, an office and an exceptional garden – all set within a picturesque Downland village.
