Clayton Road, Ditchling

A sizable and well extended detached family house, set in a secluded yet central location within the heart of the village with wonderfully landscaped south facing gardens, ample parking and garaging for three vehicles

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.

Discreetly positioned yet centrally located within its generous plot, this sizable detached house has been thoughtfully extended over the years to create a beautifully balanced family home arranged over two floors. The ground floor offers an impressive array of reception space with four versatile rooms complemented by a substantial kitchen/breakfast room with a range of integrated appliances perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. Upstairs, five bedrooms are served by both a shower room and a separate family bathroom. The property enjoys an exceptional setting with the rear garden extending to the south and laid to manicured lawn framed by an expansive paved terrace ideal for outdoor dining. Towards the far end, a charming group of mature fruit trees and raised vegetable beds adds a delightful touch of country character. A sweeping gravel driveway, accessed via traditional timber five bar gates leads to a detached double garage with attached store and an additional garage attached to the side of the property, providing ample parking and practical storage.
