3 The Orchard offers attractive accommodation arranged over two floors. The property opens into a reception hall, featuring a staircase rising to the first floor and providing access to a cloakroom. From here, doors lead into the third bedroom/study, a versatile space at the front of the house.
Continuing from the hall, the layout leads into the kitchen, fitted with an extensive range of bespoke-style cabinetry, complemented by tiled splashbacks and wood-effect worksurfaces. A range cooker with overhead extractor is set between full-height units, while glazed display cupboards add both character and practicality. A wide front-facing window frames views across the garden, creating a bright and inviting workspace. Beyond the kitchen lies the spacious open-plan reception room, arranged as sitting and dining areas.
The sitting area features a working open fireplace and a wide bay-style window overlooking the garden, while the adjoining dining space is naturally bright, with glazed double doors providing direct access to the terrace. Together, these areas form a flexible open-plan arrangement, ideal for both everyday living and formal entertaining.
The principal bedroom is located at the rear of the first floor and is a spacious double with a dormer window offering views over the garden and surrounding countryside/South Downs. The room benefits from an en suite bathroom, comprising a shower, wash basin, and WC. Accommodation is completed by an adjacent double bedroom with a dormer window and a family bathroom, conveniently positioned off the landing.
The property is approached via an arched brick entrance opening onto a private front garden, laid out with established shrubs, mature planting, and a brick pathway. At the rear, the garden is framed by an attractive flint wall and features a shaped lawn, colourful borders, and mature trees, creating a tranquil, enclosed setting. A paved terrace adjoins the house, providing space for outdoor seating and dining, while a timber gate offers side access. A brick outbuilding adds useful external storage.
Nestled in the heart of Willingdon village, The Orchard enjoys a peaceful setting just moments from the South Downs National Park. Willingdon blends timeless charm with practical convenience—its historic architecture, literary connections (famously featured in George Orwell’s Animal Farm), and leafy surroundings offer a slower pace of life, while Eastbourne’s town centre and rail links remain easily accessible. The village itself provides a selection of local shops, pubs, and amenities, with scenic walks and countryside views right on the doorstep. Hampden Park station provides direct rail services to London Victoria in around 90 minutes, while the nearby A27 offers routes along the south coast and the A22 connects north towards the M25. Regular local bus services link Willingdon with Eastbourne town centre, Lewes, and Brighton.
