Barnfield Gardens, Ditchling

A significantly enlarged and remodelled semi detached family house situated within an enviable private close, fashioned in a contemporary style with large open plan spaces and benefiting from a landscaped south facing garden

Ditchling, nestled within the South Downs National Park, is a historic village playing host to a selection of local shops, cafes, a church and two public houses which include The Bull, an award-winning gastro pub. The larger village of Hassocks is a short drive away, as is the city of Brighton and Hove, both offering mainline train connections to London as well as a greater array of shops and restaurants. This area of Sussex also benefits from a variety of superb private and state schools for all ages, within easy reach of the village.

Situated within a private development of only 6 properties, this family house has been significantly enlarged and modernised by the current vendors over their tenure. Open plan spaces and light are at the forefront of the design with a sizable kitchen/dining/family space occupying the majority of the ground floor. 3 sets of bi-fold doors open to the rear south facing garden providing an ‘outside/in’ feel, perfect for entertaining. The contemporary kitchen has 2 breakfast bars and a range of integrated luxury appliances with hi-gloss units. The space is highly customisable but currently arranged with 2 seating areas, one around a wood burning stove. A study, games room and ground floor bedroom with en-suite shower room also reside on the ground floor along with a useful utility room. Stairs from the entrance hall lead to the first floor where 4 bedroom reside along with a family bathroom. It should be noted that the double aspect principal bedroom suite benefits from a walk in dressing room and ensuite bathroom with separate walk in shower. The south facing landscaped gardens are predominantly laid to lawn with a modern patio extending from the rear of the property. A kitchen garden comprising 2 raised vegetable beds and a covered barbeque area lies on one side with well stocked shrub and plants along the boundaries. A driveway to the front of the property provides parking for 3 cars and access to the integral garage.
