Beautifully presented bungalow in a sought-after village location
Description
Tucked away at the end of a private drive, Kingsclere is a beautifully presented and spacious bungalow set in lovely gardens of about half an acre. The property was built in the 1950s and subsequently extended, and today offers well-presented and spacious accommodation with a pleasing layout, neutral décor, some wood flooring and the benefit of being arranged over a single storey.
There is plenty of natural light throughout the house; the dual aspect sitting/dining room is particularly light and bright, with a large window to the front and sliding doors to the rear, and it has a wood burning stove fitted. The adjoining family room can also be used as a study and has bespoke fitted cupboards.
The kitchen/breakfast room is well-equipped with bespoke painted wood cabinets and solid wood worktops; fitted appliances include a double oven and a dishwasher, with space for a washing machine and fridge/freezer.
The three spacious bedrooms are all en suite, with contemporary fittings; a separate cloakroom completes the accommodation.
Kingsclere is reached via a gravelled private drive which provides access from Beacon Road to six properties. Kingsclere has its own driveway to the front of the property, offering parking for several vehicles. In addition, there is a detached double garage, with a greenhouse attached at the rear.
The front garden is mainly laid to lawn, opening out at the side to a kitchen garden with raised beds, a timber shed and productive fruit trees.
The south-facing rear garden is fully enclosed, accessed via gates to either side of the bungalow and the garage; there is a sunny terrace spanning the rear elevation, and in the southeast corner is a detached home office which is insulated and has power and cat 5 cabling connected. The gardens are mainly laid to lawn with mature shrubs and trees including camelia, silver birch and maple. About 0.52 of an acre.
Agent’s Note
Kingsclere has right of way over the private driveway which leads from the road to the property and contributes to its upkeep.
Location
Situated in the picturesque downland village of Ditchling, which falls within the South Downs National Park and is well-known for its artistic community and many historic listed houses. The house is on the outskirts of the village, yet enjoys easy access to its independent shops, two public houses and primary school; there are miles of footpaths and bridleways in the surrounding countryside, across Ditchling Common and on the South Downs. The nearby towns of Burgess Hill and Haywards Heath (three miles and six miles respectively) offer a wider range of high street shops, supermarkets and leisure facilities; the seaside City of Brighton and Hove lies beyond the Downs to the south and is regarded as one of the most vibrant cities in Europe, with a fantastic mix of famed nightlife, award winning restaurants, theatre culture, festivals and events. Sussex has a diverse cultural and arts scene, with world-class opera at Glyndebourne, and the annual Brighton Festival presenting a huge programme of theatre, dance, classical music and literary events. Mainline rail services: Hassocks station (two miles, London Bridge/Victoria from 48 minutes) and Burgess Hill station (3.5 miles, London Bridge/Victoria from 51 minutes)
Schools: There are a number of highly regarded schools and colleges in the local area, including St. Margaret's Primary School in Ditchling, Downlands Community College in Hassocks, Hurstpierpoint College, Ardingly College, Burgess Hill Girls, Brighton College and Roedean. All times and distances are approximate.
