Enveloped in a rural setting, yet surprisingly close to all of life's essentials, discover the delights of this home, in the friendly village of South Chailey.
Modern comforts, traditional warmth:
Blending classic with contemporary, the homes in this close, built in 2002, are constructed in a classic Sussex style, ensuring all the character of traditional design and the comforts demanded of 21st century living.
Park up on the substantial hardstanding where there is space for three cars, in addition to a double garage.
A home well-maintained, the front door and windows were replaced in 2019, whilst all interior doors have been upgraded to oak veneer, with brand new handles fitted in 2021.
Make your way along the curving path, opening the front door to enter a tiled porch, where to the immediate left is a downstairs WC with wash basin and vanity unit storage - handy for guests.
Welcome home:
A modern home, decorated in light colours, continue into the entrance hallway, where honey toned oak flooring extends underfoot. Beneath the stairs, a large cupboard is handy for storage. Turning to the right, make your way through to the snug, a warm and cosy room, where fitted cupboards and shelving to two walls make it ideal as a television lounge. Ideal too as a study, a window overlooking the front lawn is fitted with plantation shutters for privacy.
Next door, discover the main sitting room, a spacious, bright and light room, lined in laminate flooring and dressed in neutral shades to the walls. Windows draw in light from different angles, for a bright and airy feel. In wintertime, warm yourself by the comfort of the contemporary wood-burning stove, nestled within an ornate surround. In summertime, flow out through French doors and soak up the sunshine and stunning views from the patio, looking out over the flat lawn, planted with blossom trees.
Feast your eyes:
Returning to the entrance hallway, sate your appetite in the contemporary kitchen-diner. Replaced in 2017, two separate rooms are now joined into one to provide the ultimate in easy flow modern living. Décor in the dining area to the right is based on Sussex and the Downs...country comforts, with direct access out through French doors onto the patio beyond, ideal for indoor-outdoor dining.
To the left, cream cabinetry provides a profusion of storage, topped in black granite worktops. In addition to an undermounted sink, integrated appliances include an AEG induction hob, two tier oven, an AEG fridge-freezer, Hotpoint dishwasher with an AEG wine cooler nestled within the sociable central island. Above the sink, a large window frames pastoral views out over the garden to the fields beyond...the perfect place in which to watch the birds whilst rinsing the cups.
Flow through to the boot room - utility room, tiled underfoot and providing additional cupboard storage, with a sink and plumbing for a washer-dryer. From here, a rear porch leads out to the broad patio, extending across both the kitchen-diner and sitting room.
Versatile spaces:
Direct access is available from the rear porch into the integral double garage, part of which currently serves as a gym.
Make your way up the stairs from the entrance hall, arriving at a carpeted landing. Turning right, immediately on your right lies bedroom two. A soothing, sophisticated double, light streams in through a plantation shuttered window to the front, highlighting the shimmer in the feature wallpaper behind the bedhead. Built-in wardrobes provide hanging and stacking space for clothes and shoes.
Returning to the landing, turning right again, fitted cupboards provide further storage, whilst next to the cupboards bedroom three awaits. Overlooking the rear garden through a broad window, this peaceful bedroom currently accommodates a double bed, large desks and built-in double wardrobes.
Continuing along the landing, next door is the fourth bedroom, where a single bed looks out through the shuttered window over the extensive countryside views, a soothing scene to wake to following a sound night's sleep.
Room for all:
Next door, a fifth bedroom mirrors bedroom four in size and outlook, carpeted underfoot in the same manner as the bedrooms through out, this home.
Freshen up in the family bathroom, tiled in light cream to the walls and underfoot for a pristine feel. Enjoy a leisurely soak in the P-shaped bath with showerhead attachment or start the day with a rejuvenating spritz beneath the shower. There is also a wash basin with vanity unit storage and WC.
Relaxation awaits in the master suite, where striped feature wallpaper in shimmering grey adds a touch of sophistication. Two sets of double wardrobes offer an abundance of storage, whilst plantation shutters to the rear fold back to reveal sublime views out over the garden and rolling countryside.
Refresh and revive in the ensuite, with large shower, heated towel rail, wash basin and WC.
Garden and Studio:
From the patio, discover the studio, whose décor is inspired by technology and invention. A flexible, versatile space, it currently serves as a music room as well as a home office.
Lawn wraps around the home, whilst a perimeter of fencing to the rear and sides adds an element of privacy and security. South facing, soak up the sunshine as it moves from east to west throughout the day. Move around the seating areas, seeking shelter and shade beneath the permanent wooden gazebo in the corner, with a stone barbeque, constructed in 2018. Dappled with silver birch and flowering cherry trees on the border, several flowering trees in the garden including two crab apple trees provide a parade of blossom in the springtime.
OWNER QUOTE: "Even though this is a family home there is also room for us to have our own space."
In the locale:
Set amidst only a handful of homes, the neighbouring families are friendly on Swan Court. Step out into the village of South Chailey, one of the longest villages in England and filled with personality and character. November 5th sees the local bonfire societies parading through the local villages, with the main event held in Lewes.
An area rich in literary heritage, it is believed that the Trumpton stories are based on the villages of Plumpton Green (Trumpton), Wivelesfield Green (Camberwick Green) and Chailey (Chigley).
Sample the food and sip coffee in the numerous cafes and restaurants of Haywards Heath and Lewes. Meanwhile, there is a pub/restaurant in the village itself, alongside a village shop which has Post Office facilities.
A little over five miles away, enjoy an evening's food and entertainment at restaurant and live music venue Trading Boundaries. For a more laid-back experience, enjoy brunch at Nutmeg Tree café in Ditchling, regularly frequented by the late great Vera Lynn.
OWNER QUOTE: "Although we are in a rural setting, we are close to everything we need."
Enjoy a day at the races at Plumpton Green or make your way to South Downs National Park and the South Downs Way for walks and the restorative pleasures of the countryside, less than five miles away. Further afield, enjoy sea air in Brighton, only 20 miles away via Lewes and the A27.
Sheffield Park National Trust Garden and the Bluebell Steam railway are also five miles away, whilst children and adults alike can't fail to be enchanted by Pooh Bridge and its associations with the lovable Winnie the Pooh, at nearby Ashdown Forest. Closer to home, there are numerous woodland walks around the village.
Families are well served by local schooling, with Ofsted rated 'Good' Chailey Secondary School within the village and numerous primary schools in the area, including Chailey St Peters, Hamsey, Plumpton Green, Wivelsfield Green and Newick.
A GP surgery is available less than a mile away in the village, whilst approximately 2 ½ miles away there is a dentist in North Chailey.
A spacious family home, with sociable spaces and pockets of privacy for all the family, Swan Court enjoys the best of both worlds, with countryside at your fingertips and the convenience of all the restaurants, shops, schooling and amenities close by.

Property information from this agent
Places of interest
Bees Homes was founded in 2017 as a result of a very matter of fact observation: “why don’t we do it and do it better?” Creating an agency where the client truly is at the forefront of everything we did was what drove us. In a world where we are transforming how we live, work, shop and buy property, surely it is time for the estate agency rule book to be rewritten? Ana and Paul started their journey by developing an easy to understand approach, where we attract, engage, and delight our clients by providing them with experiences that are relevant, helpful, and bespoke to them. We had a vision: to create an estate agency that specialises in beautiful and stylish properties, providing the highest quality service; to provide a seamless customer experience across every stage of the selling process, making customers feel looked after at every touch-point. Today, we remain a small independently owned award winning business with the same strong values of quality and customer care as when we started.
