Property DESCRIPTIONLocated in the quaint village of South Chailey, close to Cooksbridge train station and within a short walk of an excellent bus route is this impressive and immaculately presented detached house. Sitting within mature, manicured and landscaped gardens, the house offers an abundance of wonderful features including a double garage, car port and parking for multiple cars, separate converted outbuilding to form an annex and separate covered swimming pool.

The house itself is approached through secure gates and up the driveway, giving time to appreciate the manicured garden and pond as you approach the front door. Upon entering the house the immediate feeling of space welcomes you, with the double height entrance hall, finished in solid wood flooring, stylish decor and the impressive solid wood staircase rising to the open landing area.

The kitchen has a country cottage feel with views across the rear garden towards the pool area. The kitchen has access to a good size, useful utility room which has a rear door to the gardens. The shower room for the guest suite is accessed from here via a 'jack & jill' door. The vast lounge spans almost half the house width with the original beams on show as well as an open, working fireplace. This room also gives access to the dining area, a perfect space for enjoying large family dinners. From the lounge, double doors lead to the double height Orangery, which provides a stunning vista of the southerly aspect gardens.
