Description
The Briars is a stunning Victorian conversion, which has been the subject of recent and comprehensive refurbishment and reconfiguration. It offers stylish and contemporary accommodation arranged over three floors, retaining all the grace and grandeur of a substantial Victorian home, cleverly combined with modern touches including ethernet cabling throughout the house and underfloor heating to the open plan kitchen dining/family room and most bathrooms.
The décor is neutral, with geometric tiles providing a splash of colour. High ceilings and dado rails are complemented by recessed down lighting and a soft colour palette.
The stunning entrance porch sets the scene with a solid wood door, glazed to each side, opening to the entrance hall. To the right lies the sitting room, with a stunning exposed brick chimney piece and space for a wood burning stove; the adjoining study could also be used as a playroom.
The open plan kitchen/dining/family room is designed as the hub of day to day life. The contemporary kitchen is fully fitted with a good range of Siemens and Hotpoint appliances, quartz surfaces and a superb concrete effect quartz island with Hettich soft close kitchen drawers.
The study and kitchen each have bi-fold doors opening up to the decked terrace, creating a seamless flow between inside and outside and an excellent space for enjoying the garden.
The principal bedroom suite is to the rear of the first floor, and has a Juliet balcony framing the far-reaching views across the Sussex landscape and a luxurious en suite bathroom. There are two further bedrooms (one en suite) and a family bathroom on the first floor; bedrooms four and five are located on the second floor (one en suite). A feature window at the turn of the staircase showcases the outstanding countryside views, and provides nook for reading.
Please refer to the floorplans for a comprehensive overview of the full layout of the accommodation.
Outside
The Briars is approached from Stockcroft Road via secure wooden gates, which are electronically operated and open to the gravelled drive providing off street parking for several vehicles and leading up the garaging with attached bike/woodstore.

The rear garden is enclosed, and mainly laid to lawn with a spacious elevated deck and glass balustrade spanning the rear elevation. There are number of established trees and shrubs planted, providing interest.
