Summary - The Village, Alciston, BN26 BN26 6UW
3 bed 3 bath Detached
Generous gardens, annex and sweeping countryside views for family living.
Spacious 3-bed detached home with ~2,366 sqft and large plot
A striking three-bedroom detached home set in the heart of Alciston within the South Downs National Park. The house occupies a very large plot and offers about 2,366 sq ft of versatile living space, including a self-contained annex, detached garage and expansive south-facing gardens with terrace, pond and summer house — excellent for family life, entertaining and multi-generational living.
Internally the property blends period character with contemporary interventions: vaulted ceilings, exposed oak beams, a bespoke shaker kitchen with quartz worktops and wide floor-to-ceiling glazing that frames uninterrupted countryside views. Three double bedrooms each have en suite facilities and the principal suite benefits from a dressing room, creating generous private accommodation for a household that values comfort and style.
Important practical points are clear: the house dates from c.1900–1929 and the exterior walls are system built with no confirmed insulation, so buyers should allow for energy-efficiency upgrades. Heating runs from an oil-fired boiler and broadband speeds are very slow — both factors to consider for everyday running costs and homeworking. Council Tax is band F and therefore expensive.
Overall this is a rare countryside property offering substantial indoor and outdoor space, strong commuter links via nearby Polegate, and great local schools. It will suit buyers seeking rural tranquillity combined with generous living space, but those prioritising low running costs or fast connectivity should budget for improvements.
