The hallway opens to a further reception room (currently used as a snug/study) with a desk area and doors onto to the patio. This part of the house lends itself to fantastic guest accommodation thanks to two ground floor double bedrooms, each with wonderful views, and the larger of the two with doors opening to the garden. Serving the two ground floor bedrooms is a modern shower room. A spiral staircase located in the heart of the house leads to a galleried landing, which is a particular feature of the house thanks to its shallow pitched, timber frame skylight providing plenty of natural light together with a wonderful view towards the South Downs. The landing provides access to all rooms on the first floor, including a spacious studio/craft room with its own stairway entrance to and from the ground floor entrance hallway (this room could be used as a home office). The principal bedroom enjoys a different outlook from each of its three aspects and features a dressing area plus en-suite bathroom with separate shower. Two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom can also be found on the first floor. The house is approached via a gravel driveway providing ample parking and access to an integral double garage with electric up and over door. The property has a fabulous garden with far reaching views over adjoining farmland and beyond to the South Downs National Park. Adjacent to the dining room is a walled patio area providing excellent outdoor dining/entertaining space. The remainder of the garden, which is primarily laid to lawn is enclosed by stock fencing which keeps the garden secure without compromising its outlook. To the front of the property is a patio immediately next to the sitting room, which enjoys a glimpse of the water at high tide. EPC:D.
