VIEW PROPERTY FILM NOW! Behind the charm of gently elevated walled garden a classic red brick and tile hung facade instantly evokes a wonderful measure of charm and character. Sympathetically updated with tastefully chosen multi pane windows and considered detailing, today this Chiddingfold property’s sensitively extended layout remains respectful of its original bones whilst producing an accomplished modern day family home.

A central entrance hall unfolds onto a succession of light filled spaces that feel calming, composed and full of character. A palette of neutral tones blends cool whites, greys and taupes with the warmth of solid wood, giving an elegantly understated feeling of luxury and cohesion throughout.

Open plan yet subtly defined a duo of serene reception rooms produces a wealth of enticing space in which to relax, dine and spend time together. White washed floorboards run underfoot and accent walls of rich heritage blue lend a dash of colour. With a wood burner nestling beneath a solid oak mantel, an exposed brick fireplace takes centre stage in the large double aspect lounge while the dining room connects to an excellent study where French doors tempt you out into the fresh air. Together these three interconnecting rooms conjure space to breathe and ample flexibility to be tailored to your own needs.

Equally impressive, a spacious triple aspect kitchen/dining room sits in harmony with a secluded terrace that engenders an easy flowing extension of the house and has the focal point of a wood fired Granada Masonry Barbecue. Inside, the kitchen is supremely well appointed with beautifully crafted Shaker cabinetry topped with contrasting black granite and fitted with first class integrated appliances. Its wrap-around design gives both delineation and unity to the extensive dining area while twin sets of French doors to the terracing make it effortlessly easy to see that this is a wonderful place to entertain. A ground floor cloakroom is ideal for guests and sits discreetly tucked away in an adjacent utility room that keeps laundry appliances hidden from view.

Explore upstairs and you’ll see that the considered aesthetic is echoed throughout each of the impeccable five bedrooms. Bathed in sunlight and more than generously sized, they look out onto the verdant backdrop of the gardens. A blissfully restful main bedroom sits exclusively on the top floor offering a heavenly hideaway from the hubbub of the day. The magnificent triangle of the chimney stack brickwork lends rustic texture and whilst a considerable skylight is perfectly placed to give views of the statuesque trees outside, a superb en suite shower room proffers a sense of quiet luxury with its Shaker basin console and metro tile setting.

Four further bedrooms pepper the first floor, continuing the sense of light and space. Young adults will adore the feeling of privacy the second double bedroom with its notable en suite bathroom. The further two bedrooms share a family bathroom that rivals the luxury of the en suites with its wood panelled walls and bath, as well as a glass framed waterfall shower that has a wet room drain sleekly inset in the stone tiled floor.

Outside
Encompassed by majestically tall trees and the evergreen foliage of clipped conifers, the prodigious rear grounds of this village home create a quintessential English country garden with their extensive raised lawns and overarching feel of tranquillity. Enviably private, they stretch out before you catering for all age groups and inclinations. The terracing to the side of the kitchen/dining room makes it effortlessly easy to enjoy al fresco dining on a grand scale, however the inclusion of a fabulous detached timber-built bar with its own seating area is somewhere that everyone will naturally gravitate towards on hot sunny days and warm summer evenings. Its French doors open up encouraging you to filter in and out for tops up and tapas, and the tiered decking has space for both sofas and a dining table.

The lawns give children every chance to play with fitted swings, a playhouse and space for a game of football, and the abundant borders allow you to hideaway from the world outside.

To the front of the house a private driveway supplies off-road parking and a detached garage is currently configured as a great home gym.
