Electric gates welcome you into the substantial landscaped driveway offering ample parking over the stylish block paving leading round to the covered entrance to the main door. Upon entering, there is an immediate sense of space as expected from this substantially extended 1930’s home. The first room to come across is the family living room enjoying a dual aspect with a real wood burner and bi-fold doors that allow the room to flow onto the large decked outside entertainment area.

The heart of this home is set within the open plan kitchen/dining and family room.

A utility room is a further extension of the kitchen, that also has a matching style of cabinet and worksurface along with space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, and further appliances. A door then leads to the large garage which houses the boiler and controls, meters for the solar panels, and sink. Further on the ground level is the office, or what could be a 5th bedroom. There is also a ground floor Cloakroom/WC, large enough to be a shower room if desired, and featuring a bay window with stained glass.

The staircase leads to the first floor as it passes a further bay window, with bay window and allowing the light to flow across the landing. One of the main assets of this home are the bedroom sizes; especially the principle bedroom. The shear size of this room accommodates 5 x double wardrobes and dressing tables being over 37ft! As well as being triple aspect and opening to an enclosed balcony overlooking the rear garden, this room is a standout feature. It also has a large ensuite bath and shower room which includes a TV over the bath and underfloor heating. The three further bedrooms all enjoy ensuite bathrooms with bedroom four also having fitted wardrobes.

The south facing rear garden alone is one of the best features of this stunning home. Beautifully kept lawns, large raised decked entertainment space, mature shrubs and boarders and amazing trees, all contribute to this amazing outside space, all while being able to have direct access to the River Rife via a gate at the bottom of the garden. Furthermore, there is a large summerhouse/studio, ideal for a home office or gym with full power and a decked area with an electric awning.

The location of this home is ideal for an outdoor lifestyle.

Ferring Village itself is less than a mile away where there is a small but popular selection of cafes, shops and restaurants. Further afield the A27 gives easy access to Brighton & Chichester, while the A24 is close by also to London
