Description

The location is certainly key to this property, being in a private road with no through traffic the land is arranged with formal gardens to the rear and side and a paddock is separated by a post and rail fence which then adjoins the Downs with horses and sheep. The house is well set up as a family home but has planning permission in place to detach the house and create a standalone residence.

From the covered entrance porch, the front door leads into the spacious entrance/reception hall with a vaulted ceiling and a galleried landing reception and deep cupboard under the stairs. The door into the kitchen/dining room has a range of wooden units with matching worksurface, space for a dishwasher, cooker and ample storage cupboards. There is a downstairs cloakroom and a large utility room with a door to the garden and plumbing for washing machine and tumble dryer and a wall mounted Worcester combi boiler.
The lounge is triple aspect and overlooks the garden on all sides. French doors open straight out to the garden and embraces the incredible backdrop of the South Downs. Next door is another reception room or ground floor third bedroom.
The first floor galleried landing has a door into bedroom one with amazing views over the adjoining Downland, is really a very special outlook. There is a full wall of wardrobes with hanging rails and there is a further Velux window. Bedroom Two has a window to the front, a hatch to the loft and a fitted wardrobe. The spacious bathroom has a panelled bath, separate shower cubicle, pedestal wash hand basin, low level w/c and a shelved cupboard.

Outside – the garden is a very special feature, alongside the location. The front has a mature hedge, and a gate leads into the driveway. There is ample parking on the gravel drive for several vehicles and a double garage with two up and over doors, light, and power. There are well stocked flower borders, and a side access gate leads to a large private side garden with patio area for table and chairs and a large area of lawn bordered by close boarded fencing, to the rear of the property are raised beds and steps leading up to the lawn area. There is a separate fenced paddock with a gate and post rail fencing amounting to approximately 1/4acre.

* Please note that this house is currently attached to next door and planning permission has been granted to build a wall to separate this property making it detached. There is also planning permission in place to extend the roof allowing for two further bedrooms as well as a ground floor extension. Further details available on request.

Location

Kingston is a picturesque village located approximately two miles from Lewes. The Village itself has a good range of leisure activities, along with a 15th century church, pre-school and junior school. The village pub, The Juggs provides a good focal point for the village. With access to The South Downs there are charming down land walks to the neighbouring villages and to Lewes. There is also a cycle path into Lewes and a regular bus service. Lewes is a unique shopping and leisure destination, offering a wide range of local shops and independent boutiques. Church Lane provides direct foot access via a private lane onto The South Downs Way with extensive bridleways and footpaths.

Dining out in Lewes is a pleasure, from the gastronomic delights on offer at The Lime Tree Kitchen and the Jolly Sportsman in nearby East Chiltington, to the wide range of gastro pubs, many of which support the resident Harvey’s Brewery. Visit the farmers’ market on the first Saturday of every month to pick up some delicious local fare. Pop into Bill’s for a cuppa or something more substantial from the mouth-watering menu. Have a pint of Harvey’s the local brew and take in some music in one of the many friendly pubs in the area. The new Depot cinema, close to the station is a major asset to the town.

Schooling in Lewes is exceptional and there are a range of well-regarded private and public schools, to include the famous Lewes Old Grammar School which can trace its origins back to the educational foundation started by Agnes Morley during the reign of Henry VII. South Downs College is located in Lewes, offering both full and part time courses and of course the University of Sussex is only 3 miles to the south west at Falmer. From Lewes you will be able to get direct trains to London and along the South Coast. By road Lewes can be reached easily via the A27 which links routes to the M23 and other major A roads in the South East.
