5 bedroom detached house for sale

This stunning modern executive home is a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully presented family property that combines high specification interiors with truly exceptional outdoor spaces. Originally built by the renowned developers Croudace Homes as part of their Kings Weald development, the house has been further enhanced by the current owners with thoughtful upgrades, landscaping and design that elevate it far beyond the standard modern build.

From the very first impression, this home sets itself apart. The front garden has been completely transformed, with clever landscaping and two elegant water features creating a welcoming and stylish approach. What was once a typical plain frontage, is now a carefully designed space with a footpath leading to the front door, a sense of arrival that perfectly reflects the quality of the property inside. To the side is a private driveway providing off-road parking and access to a double garage with power, light and the nowadays an all important electric car charging point. This substantial space already offers excellent storage for vehicles and equipment but, subject to the necessary planning and building consents, could easily be converted into an annexe, gym, games room or studio - a versatile addition to suit a wide range of lifestyles.

The rear garden is without doubt one of the most impressive features of this home, an absolute oasis for entertaining. The owners have reimagined the space entirely, creating distinct "rooms" within the garden through clever planting, landscaping and design. An outdoor kitchen forms the focal point, complete with a built-in barbecue and generous seating area for alfresco dining. A covered terrace provides the ideal spot for outdoor sofas and year-round use, while another defined zone has space for sun loungers, ensuring relaxation and entertaining are equally well catered for. Artificial lawn is framed by beautifully stocked flowerbeds and shrubs, offering a low-maintenance but attractive green backdrop.

To the far end, a superb garden room adds further versatility. Inside is a cosy seating area with an electric flame-effect heater, the perfect spot for family gatherings or games evenings. Outside, there is space for a firepit, making it ideal for use across all seasons. Whether you want to unwind, host friends or even practice darts with dreams of becoming the next Luke Littler, this garden house is a fabulous bonus. To complete the picture, the owners have added a sun room directly to the rear of the property, linking to the garage and providing another flexible living area that allows the garden to be enjoyed all year round.

Inside, the property is presented to an impeccable standard. A covered porch - another thoughtful improvement - provides practical storage for coats and shoes before stepping into the entrance hall. Here, a feature wall with elegant wallpaper sets the tone for the interior styling, a blend of warmth and sophistication.

The double aspect living room is bright and spacious, with patio doors opening directly onto the garden. The kitchen diner is a real showstopper: a sleek and practical space with ample room for a large dining table, a breakfast bar for casual meals, and a wide range of high quality integrated appliances including two fridge freezers, a built-in microwave, a double oven, five-ring gas hob and dishwasher. The clever design includes the original rear window now repurposed as a serving hatch into the sun room, perfect for entertaining. A utility room provides additional space for laundry, with plumbing for a washing machine, a dryer and a sink, while a ground floor cloakroom completes the accommodation on this level.

Upstairs, the first floor landing continues the design theme with decorative wallpaper. The master suite includes a dressing area with mirrored wardrobes and a stylish en-suite shower room with walk-in shower, WC and wash hand basin. A further double bedroom and a single bedroom, currently used as a study, are also found here, along with the family bathroom fitted with a panelled bath, WC and wash hand basin.

The second floor offers two more generous double bedrooms, served by a shared shower room with walk-in shower, WC and wash hand basin. This flexible layout means the house can comfortably accommodate a growing family, visiting guests, or the need for home working space.

The quality of the home is matched by its setting. While Kings Weald is a large development, this property is tucked away in a small private cul-de-sac of just two houses, with trees and shrub planting giving a sense of seclusion. The development itself was carefully designed situated in what was 19 hectares, providing walking routes and open spaces. For commuters, the mainline station with direct services to London is around a 10-15 minute walk, while families will appreciate the choice of local schools nearby. The town centre, with its excellent shopping, dining and leisure facilities, is also within walking distance.

One final detail not to be overlooked is the traditional Sussex flint construction used in this property's exterior design, lending it the character and charm of an older period home while offering the reliability and efficiency of a modern build.

In summary, this executive home offers so much more than first meets the eye. With its beautifully landscaped gardens, versatile living spaces, high-quality interior presentation and outstanding location, it represents a very special opportunity. Offered with no onward chain, it is ready for its next owners to move in and begin enjoying all it has to offer.
