Accommodation wise, being spread over three floors means there is spaciousness and versatility in equal measure. You enter on the upper ground floor, with a traditional Victorian hallway. This level boasts two flexible rooms that could easily be double bedrooms or separate reception rooms. The "sitting room" is a cosy, inviting room, decorated in Farrow & Ball 'shaded white', with open fireplace providing a focal point on a chilly winter's evening. The bay window has sash windows, café style plantation shutters and special views. The second room is currently used as a large study but could easily be a fourth double bedroom.

This superb open place space extends to around 25ft and is the heart of this home, perfect for entertaining friends & family with ample space for sitting and dining zones. The open fireplace adds charm and there is plenty of natural light. The dining area flows through to the kitchen, which offers plenty of prep and storage space, wooden worktops, tasteful tiled splashback and a butler sink. The separate utility area is incredibly handy after a muddy dog walk with a door leading to on the garden.

The top floor the master bedroom is a simply stunning room that boasts the most magnificent panoramic views over open countryside towards the South Downs.
