4 bed detached house for sale

East Grinstead Road, North Chailey, Lewes BN8

Description

Tucked off East Grinstead Road in the heart of the East Sussex countryside, this New England-style home sits unassumingly behind its white-clad façade, sheltered by a screen of mature, manicured hedging. A large gravel driveway offers plentiful parking, with gates on either side leading through to the private gardens and studio beyond.

Step through the front door and any thought of a modest cottage is quickly dispelled, the entrance hall opens onto a surprisingly spacious three-storey home, with oak flooring extending underfoot and stairs rising and falling to the floors above and below, lending an open, airy feel throughout.
To one side, a study with bespoke shelving doubles as a fourth bedroom if needed, currently furnished with a sofa bed. Opposite, a television room with illuminated fitted shelving and storage overlooks the driveway, while beyond, a private guest suite offers a peaceful double bedroom with garden views, a stylish en suite wet room fitted with Duravit sanitaryware, and its own laundry room with private external access - ideal for a dependent relative or long-staying guest.

Downstairs, a Howdens kitchen combines crisp white cabinetry with wooden worktops, metro tiling and sage-green walls for a country feel, complete with a stable door onto the garden and integrated Bosch, Siemens, Zanussi and Belling appliances. The sitting room, warmed by a wood-burning stove and lit through plantation-shuttered windows, flows up into a formal dining room, where a striking arched window frames deep views into the garden. Beyond, a bright conservatory with quarry-tiled flooring opens onto a paved terrace and shaded seating area, made for dining al fresco.

Upstairs, a family shower room and a light, garden-facing guest bedroom sit alongside the principal suite, a haven of treetop views, a dressing room with fitted wardrobes, and an en suite bathroom with twin basins and a generous p-shaped bath. A large loft room leads directly off the suite, offering flexible space for a home office, snug or nursery as needs evolve.
Outside, the maturely planted gardens extend over half an acre, with Indian sandstone terraces for morning coffee and evening entertaining, a wildlife pond, fig and olive trees, wisteria and richly planted borders lending a distinctly Mediterranean feel. A productive vegetable patch, greenhouse and quiet wooded corner complete the plot, while a detached garden studio - with power and water connected - offers a light-filled retreat for work, creativity or simply escape.

Just over a mile away, the village of Newick provides everyday essentials, including cafés, pubs, a pharmacy and a health centre, along with tennis, football, cricket and rugby clubs nearby. Further shopping can be found at Fermento Bakery, Denniker Farm Shop, M&S Foodhall and Waitrose. Families are well served by Newick C E Primary School, Chailey School, Ardingly College and a choice of respected independent schools, while commuters benefit from direct rail services from Haywards Heath reaching London Victoria in around 45 minutes, with Gatwick Airport less than 20 miles away.
Combining individuality with adaptability, this is a home designed to grow alongside its owners.
