The ground floor offers versatile accommodation, the layout has been thoughtfully designed to maximise natural light and space with a superb vaulted gallery and feature windows in the apex, seamlessly blending character features with contemporary finishes. The reception area provides a welcoming space, while the open-plan kitchen and dining area create the heart of the home. The kitchen is fitted with high-end appliances and bespoke cabinetry and stone worksurfaces perfectly marrying style and functionality, with a stunning Range Stove.

The principle suite is a highlight, complete with a very large modern en-suite bathroom with free standing bath and countryside views. You can see the South Downs when sitting in bed which is an absolute delight. Two additional large bedrooms are on this floor.

The outdoor spaces are equally impressive. A large garden, designed to provide year-round use, features an out of ground swimming pool ideal for summer days. A dedicated home office/study is discreetly tucked within the grounds, offering a quiet and inspiring space for work or study. The garden also provides ample room for children’s play, gardening enthusiasts, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings. With its mixture of manicured lawns and mature planting, the outdoor area is a tranquil retreat. There is also planning permission for a double garage.

Downlands was tastefully re-built in 2013 with a focus on blending contemporary aesthetics and inspired by the Arts & Crafts school of architecture. The result is a home that feels both timeless and modern.
