South Chailey, Lewes, East Sussex, BN8

Located in the quaint village of South Chailey, close to Cooksbridge train station and within a short walk of an excellent bus route is this impressive and immaculately presented detached house. Sitting within mature, manicured and landscaped gardens, the house offers an abundance of wonderful features including a double garage, car port and parking for multiple cars, separate converted outbuilding to form an annex and separate covered swimming pool.

The house itself is approached through secure gates and up the driveway, giving time to appreciate the manicured garden and pond as you approach the front door. Upon entering the house the immediate feeling of space welcomes you, with the double height entrance hall, finished in solid wood flooring, stylish decor and the impressive solid wood staircase rising to the open landing area. Leading from the hallway there is the spacious kitchen/breakfast room, ground floor guest suite and impressive, spacious lounge and dining area. The kitchen has a country cottage feel with views across the rear garden towards the pool area. The kitchen has access to a good size, useful utility room which has a rear door to the gardens. The shower room for the guest suite is accessed from here via a 'jack & jill' door. The vast lounge spans almost half the house width with the original beams on show as well as an open, working fireplace. This room also gives access to the dining area, a perfect space for enjoying large family dinners. From the lounge, double doors lead to the double height Orangery, which provides a stunning vista of the southerly aspect gardens.

The stairs rise to a galleried open landing area, giving access to all bedrooms. The main bedroom suite is located at the front of the house and enjoys the views of the gardens, a large room with fitted wardrobes, a walk in dressing room and elegant en-suite bathroom, complete with roll top bath and separate double walk-in shower, with Victorian style decorative floor tiles. There is also a further guest bedroom suite with its own bathroom.

The Forge has been refurbished and modernised by the current owners to form a wonderful separate stand-alone annex, complete with its own garden area, kitchen, shower room and spacious studio space. Full of character and charm, the owners have retained and features many of the original elements, including the windows, and exposed beams. This space would be ideal for anyone who has family living with them, wish to rent out as an additional income or even someone working from home wishing to create a working space.

The grounds include a spacious and well-maintained swimming pool area, which has a glass cover and spacious changing room. There is a double separate garage block as well as a covered carport for 1-2 cars, along with a driveway with space for approximately 2-3 cars.

The gardens have been meticulously maintained with a pond, fruit trees and well-established willow tree. There is ample terrace space for enjoying family time as well as quiet and secluded seating spots dotted around the grounds.

This unusual, charming house is set to be extremely popular, and viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the charm and space available.
