Description
The property forms one of a pair believed to have been originally built by the same family. In more recent years the property has been run as an upmarket small country guest house and offers beautifully presented accommodation which would provide an extremely elegant and spacious family home subject to any consents required. There are glorious views over the Cuckmere Valley and downland countryside flanks the property at the rear. There is an area of paddock which offers potential for accommodating a pony or two and the large outbuilding offers scope for a variety of use. Only an internal inspection will convey the individual appeal and fine features of this delightful home.
Riverdale House occupies an enviably elevated location to the south of Alfriston. Whilst surrounded by the scenic downland countryside of The South Downs National Park and commanding glorious views over the Cuckmere Valley the property is well served by the local amenities of picturesque Alfriston village. The property sits adjacent to the rolling hills of Rathfinny Vinyard with the coastal towns of Seaford and Eastbourne being accessible providing a wide range of amenities. There are rail services to London Victoria and Gatwick from Berwick Station or Seaford and channel ferries are from Newhaven. There is world class opera at nearby Glyndebourne and the surrounding downland offers wonderful recreational opportunity.
