5 bed detached house for sale

Shirleys, Ditchling BN6

A detached family home with adaptable accommodation in a prime residential location with a private and landscaped south facing rear garden

Ditchling, nestled within the South Downs National Park, is a historic village playing host to a selection of local shops, cafes, a church, and two public houses including The Bull, an award-winning gastro pub. The larger village of Hassocks is a short drive away, as is the city of Brighton and Hove, both offering mainline train connections to London and a greater array of shops and restaurants. This area of Sussex also benefits from a variety of superb private and state schools for all ages, all within easy reach of the village.

Tucked away along an exclusive private road popular with families, this exceptional detached house presents a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully modernised home of generous proportions and impressive versatility. Updated by the current owners, the property boasts a striking contemporary kitchen complete with luxury integrated appliances, seamlessly flowing into a spacious sitting room, perfectly designed for entertaining with doors opening directly out onto a secluded rear garden. The thoughtfully arranged layout allows for up to three bedrooms on the ground floor, accompanied by both a modern fitted family bathroom and separate shower room. A staircase ascends from the sitting room to the first floor where two further well appointed bedrooms are complemented by a large contemporary bathroom featuring both a bath and separate shower along with underfloor electric heating. Outside, the private garden offers a generous paved terrace framed by inset flower beds and steps raising to a large lawned area. To the front, a sizeable driveway accommodates multiple vehicles and provides access to an integral garage.
