Hamlyn Smith are delighted to bring this five-bedroom house in Small Dole to the market. This popular cul-de-sac is a quiet residential road on the edge of the Sussex village of Small Dole. The house has its own driveway and is set back from the road with a lawned front garden, which is afforded privacy by a high hedge. The house was built around 1960 and has an attractive red-brick and timber clad exterior, with a porch leading to the front door. In the entrance hall you are greeted by a beautiful, original parquet floor. The hall is a wide and bright space which leads to the living room, dining room and the kitchen/breakfast room. The parquet floor continues through to the living room at the back of the house. This is a generously proportioned room with sliding doors onto the garden, and a wood-burning stove. The kitchen/breakfast room also has access to the garden and is another large room with space for a large dining table. The floor is tiled and the sage green cupboards are topped with a granite counter. There is space for a freestanding cooker and a dishwasher, while the washing machine and tumble dryer are housed in the adjacent utility room. The dining room is currently being used as a music room, and could equally be a fifth bedroom or home office, especially as there is so much space for dining in the kitchen. Outside there is a large, lawned garden with side access.

Upstairs, this house has four bedrooms and a bathroom, arranged around a spacious and light central landing. The bathroom has tiled walls and floor, and a thermostatic shower over the bath with both a fixed and a hand-held shower head. On the landing there is access to a large loft, via a pull-down ladder. The loft has a light and has been boarded. From the upstairs rooms you can see the South Downs. The Viessman combination boiler is housed in a cupboard in the bathroom and the house is double-glazed throughout.
