Set in an enviable position at the foot of the South Downs, this remarkable detached home is a rare example of a property created with vision, care and a true understanding of its surroundings.
Having demolished the original dwelling, the current owners embarked on an exciting journey to design and commission a completely new home — one that would not only provide exceptional modern living, but would also sit naturally within this beautiful countryside setting.
The result is a stunning oak timber-framed residence, thoughtfully crafted to embrace light, space and the breathtaking views beyond.
From the moment you arrive, there is a wonderful sense of privacy and tranquillity. Surrounded by approximately 1.5 acres of gardens and grounds, with a charming stream running through the landscape, the setting feels wonderfully secluded while still being within easy reach of nearby amenities and the vibrant city of Brighton.
The home has been designed with an upside-down layout, allowing the main living accommodation to take centre stage on the upper floor. Here, the impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and living space creates the true heart of the house. Vaulted ceilings, exposed oak beams and a beautifully considered arrangement of living areas combine to create a warm and inviting space, perfectly suited for relaxed family life and entertaining guests.
Large windows and doors draw the outside in, framing the ever-changing countryside views and allowing the beauty of the South Downs to become part of everyday living. Whether enjoying a morning coffee while watching the landscape unfold or gathering together in the evening, this is a room designed around the experience of living in such a special location.
The accommodation extends to approximately 3,655 sq ft, offering five well-proportioned bedrooms, including a generous principal suite, alongside beautifully appointed bathrooms and versatile spaces that adapt easily to modern lifestyles. A dedicated office provides the ideal environment for home working, while the flexible layout offers plenty of room for family and guests.
Outside, the gardens provide a wonderful extension of the home, with established planting, open lawns, multiple fruit trees and the peaceful sound of the stream creating a truly picturesque setting. The grounds offer space to relax, entertain and enjoy the surrounding countryside, with far-reaching views that make every season feel unique.
Adding further appeal is the substantial detached outbuilding, built in 2010/2011, offering a wealth of additional space. Whether used as a workshop, studio, storage facility, home office or hobby space, it provides an exciting opportunity to tailor the property to individual needs. The room is currently used as a fully functioning pottery studio, benefiting from water and a dedicated electrical supply for a kiln – a specialist and potentially costly installation that adds significant value. This versatile space would suit a range of creative or workshop uses.
A home unlike many others, this exceptional residence represents the perfect combination of thoughtful design, natural materials and an extraordinary location. A rare opportunity to own a bespoke South Downs home, created from the ground up to enjoy the very best of countryside living.
