Plumpton Lane, Plumpton, Lewes, East Sussex, BN7

A striking contemporary detached house in a delightful semi-rural position within the South Downs National Park.

Description

Completed in 2021, Greenfield House (formerly known as Greenfields) is a contemporary detached house, with part timber clad, part rendered and brick elevations under a tiled roof with a striking swooping porch to one side.

The house has been thoughtfully designed, with accessible entry and the option to configure the ground floor accommodation to create self-contained lateral living space; all principal rooms are arranged on the southern elevation, capturing the views of the surrounding landscape and the Downs.

Internally, the house has neutral décor and clean lines; the open plan kitchen/living room has three sets of sliding doors, and a spacious elevated terrace to the west, giving excellent flow between inside and out. Please refer to the floorplan as a guide to the full extent and layout of the accommodation.

Greenfield House has right of way over the drive from Plumpton Lane; ahead of the house is a spacious private driveway, gravelled and offering parking for several vehicles. The gardens are mainly laid to lawn, enclosed by fencing and hedging either side; at the west is a stream with a bridge connecting to the fully enclosed paddock. In all, about 0.9 of an acre.
