Property description
PROPERTY SUMMARY What can only be described as an interesting and unique family home, this impressive property provides over 2356 sq ft of living accommodation including a double garage and occasional guest room / home office. The former property on the site was a detached bungalow, however the current owners have built a substantial home using modern eco friendly material incorporating solar photovoltaic panels, underfloor heating and the roof created with SIPS roof panel held on a glulam beam, all of which make this property exceptional in so many ways. A great deal of thought has gone into the open plan ground floor layout along with replacement aluminium double glazed windows, bi-folding doors, aluminium guttering, new water mains and meters, gas fired central heating on the first floor with underfloor heating on the lower level. The accommodation has a variety of uses with two double bedrooms, the master having an en-suite shower room, a family bathroom, large walk-in wardrobe/dressing room (accessed from bedroom two) and a boiler room on the first floor with the ground floor incorporating; a sitting room, dining room with family area, a third bedroom, cloakroom, kitchen / breakfast room, located above the garage is an occasional bedroom / home office. The house has a light and airy feel with large windows, wooden floors and the back up of a log burner in the sitting room, there are a number of other interesting features such as the wrap around garden, extensive car parking and far reaching views towards the South Downs National Park over open fields and woodland. Situated in an elevated, corner position yet within easy access of local shopping amenities, schools, recreation grounds and commutable road links, early internal viewing is strongly recommended in order to appreciate both the accommodation and location on offer.
