With far reaching views over farmland and the West Dean Estate, a 4 bedroom semi- detached family house with many period features, mature garden and driveway with parking for several cars.

DESCRIPTION:

Located in the heart of the South Downs National Park and tucked away down a quiet country lane, Well House is a beautiful four-bedroom semi-detached house extending to some 1,814sqft with excellent views both to the front and rear. The property is understood to have originated as a small cottage which was extended in the 1980s to nearly double the size, it was then further modernised and improved by our client whilst maintaining much of its original period charm.

The accommodation briefly comprises as follows:

GROUND FLOOR:

On the ground floor a covered porch leads to the reception hall with beautiful open fireplace with brick surround, and original stairs to the first floor. The large sitting room has a log burning stove and spiral staircase to first floor and double doors leading to the driveway. An archway from the sitting room leads to the kitchen/dining room with double doors leading out to the terrace and garden. A doorway from the kitchen leads to the family room/study (with door to garden), utility cupboard and downstairs cloakroom.

FIRST FLOOR:

The original staircase leads to the first floor off which are bedrooms 3 and 4 as well as a family bathroom with shower, WC and wash hand basin.

The master bedroom and bedroom 2 can be accessed from the spiral staircase leading from the sitting room or from bedroom 4. The master is a large double with built-in wardrobes, and bedroom 2 has a beautiful westerly aspect and is also a good size double. These bedrooms are serviced by a family bathroom which includes a bath, WC and wash hand basin.

OUTSIDE:

The property benefits from far reaching views across open farmland from the front and rear. To the front of the property is a large driveway with parking and turning for several cars. The rear garden is mostly laid to lawn with a good size terrace and a number of timber-built sheds. To the rear of the garden is a beautiful seating area with far reaching westerly views across the West Dean Estate.
