Since the current ownership, the original property has been extended and modernised, hence the large room sizes. There is now a family room with an en-suite shower room which has the potential to be a self-contained annex, providing endless possibilities for accommodating guests or for multi-generational living. The property also has two conservatories being built on to the living room and family room which will be completed before the sale, providing additional relaxation space to sit and enjoy the surroundings. On the ground floor a dedicated office provides a quiet space for work or study or could be repurposed for another bedroom if required and for convenience there is a utility area with plumbing for a washing machine and another cloakroom/shower room.

Stairs from the entrance hallway lead to the first floor and a large landing which could be utilised as an office area, a boiler room, 4 double bedrooms and a family bathroom/shower room. The generously proportioned principal bedroom takes advantage of the panoramic views with a timber built balcony, it has ample storage with a wall of fitted wardrobes and a luxury en-suite bathroom.

OUTSIDE: Approached from the front through an arch and small wooden gate, the front manicured gardens are mainly laid to lawn with mature hedges, shrubs and trees to give privacy which wrap around from the front to the rear garden and sun patio. Originally sloping, the gardens have since been built up to have a level lawn to make full use and enjoyment of the garden, it has also been designed with retaining walls, flower beds and steps down to the driveway and storage shed. The off-road driveway has also been an addition of the current owners to take advantage of the space and allows parking for numerous vehicles. There is also a large storage shed which is well insulated with windows and could be re-purposed as an outside office if so required.

LOCATION: The property occupies a sought-after position within the private Friston Estate within the scenic South Downs National Park and is in close proximity to the picturesque village of East Dean for local amenities as well as renowned and well-visited landmarks such as Beachy Head, Seven Sisters Country Park and Birling Gap. The larger seafront town of Eastbourne is approx. a 4 mile drive with comprehensive shopping facilities, theatres, sporting activities and a mainline train station with direct links to central London.
