5 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

An impressive rural family residence in the exclusive and sought after village of Barcombe Mills, close to Barcombe, just North of the historic market town of Lewes. The house is set within beautiful landscaped gardens with structural flood defence system, a large sun terrace and a vegetable/kitchen garden area. The house is an unusual mix of two houses previously brought together meaning there are Edwardian and Victorian features, alongside the modern addition of the kitchen/lounge/diner extension. Large rooms with high ceilings and box bay windows mean the rooms are drenched in natural light and with many of the period features retained or enhanced, gives a feeling of grandeur and elegance.

The house has been lovingly decorated and improved by the current owners ensuring both a charming home but a functional and usable space, including the addition of hard wired home wifi network, this along with the availability of Superfast broadband makes for a wonderful home for a modern family.

The entrance gate leads to spacious off road parking with an electric charging point, this is in addition to the parking by the double garage. The current owners have arranged for the parking to have tarmac laid and this will be installed by January 2025. The family room has an inviting open, working fireplace and there is an impressive guest room, adjacent to a shower room on the ground floor.

The kitchen is an elegant luxury masterpiece, offering a feeling of opulence, yet beautifully practical in every sense, it overlooks the extremely large dining space and by-fold doors leading to the sun terrace, allowing for the ideal mix of alfresco entertaining. It has an abundance of storage with the clever addition of the floor to ceiling cupboards affectionately referred to by the current owner as the 'larder' area. There is space and plumbing for a dishwasher. The discreet utility room is tucked away behind a frosted glass door and provides spaces and plumping for washing machine and tumble drier as well as the ideal location for cleaning off muddy pets and boots. This area has a polished concrete floor with underfloor heating and is finished off with a snug seating area in the corner with a corner window flooding the space with natural light.

The upper floor has wonderful indulgent, almost 'oversized' bedrooms, with two of them overlooking the gardens. The rooms have a true Victorian/Edwardian feel with large dimensions, box bay windows and high ceilings, decorative cornice and stripped original floorboards.

The grounds are designed with the nuance of the location in mind and for family enjoyment. The sun terrace rises via steps to a raised walk way and falls away again to the manicured landscaped lawns and gardens.

There is a wonderful addition of a piece of Riverbank owned privately by the house. The house owners also benefit from a key to access the weir dam area, allowing further walks along the riverside itself. The local area is known for its natural beauty such as the Barcombe Mills, it is a conservation area and a popular spot for walking, kayaking and river swimming and an important area for its wildlife and water storage. The Barcombe Reservoir is adjacent. The area includes a small hamlet and some farms, including Barcombe House.

Viewing is highly recommended!
