It is immaculate from top to bottom, with the entrance hall providing a wide, accessible hallway with the stairs to the first floor.

The sitting room is a large, bright room, overlooking and accessing the front garden via a bay window, yet enjoying a wide mock-inglenook fireplace with a reclaimed oak beam and a modern gas-fired ‘wood’ burner.

The kitchen is a fabulous mix of chic, modern units, with quartz worktops and a matching central island, with integrated appliances to include fridges, freezers, dishwasher, ovens, grill and hob with an extractor over, sink with a boiling water tap. There are windows to the rear, bi-fold doors to the side patio, and further bi-fold doors to the conservatory, which forms a further seating area, now with a tiled roof and under floor heating, making the room usable all year round.

The adjacent office/snug is a good-sized room, with doors to the front drive, and views down the garden, whilst the utility room is a very useful space, complete with additional units, space for appliances and access to the garage, with an electric up and over vehicular door to the driveway, and one corner hived off for a rear facing office/studio/gym.

The master bedroom is on the ground floor, with a dual aspect and two sets of French doors to the garden, ample fitted wardrobes and dual en-suites, both providing walk-in showers, WCs and basins, windows to rear and tiled walls and floor.

The ground floor also provides a bedroom, with windows to the front and a shower room opposite, providing a walk-in shower, WC and basin, window to rear, tiled walls and floor.

The first floor comprises two double bedrooms, one with an en-suite bathroom, comprising a bath with shower over, WC and basin, the other with an en-suite shower room, comprising a shower, WC and basin. The larger of the two bedrooms enjoys a Juliet Balcony to the end gable, plus ample storage, the other enjoys a storage recess.

Outside, the gardens are a joy. To the front of the house, a gated sweeping tarmac driveway leads from the road to the garage and parking area by the front of the house. The drive is lined with trees and shrubs, with levelled lawns and more formal, mature flower beds, with a paved area by the front door and the door to the snug/office.

There are paved side paths to both sides, with an area of garden along the left hand side of the house, which backs on to a wooded area, and has a gate with direct access to a footpath leading to further fields, lanes and woodland, and ultimately Fairwarp and the Ashdown Forest.

The rear garden is more park-like, with lawn and specimen trees and shrubs, a greenhouse, shed and former vegetable area, with a large paved patio off the kitchen, and accessed from the kitchen, conservatory and gym.
