Set well back on a private no-through road, this spacious four-bedroom detached home occupies about 4.8 acres of mixed garden, meadow and woodland, with south‑east facing terraces that catch the morning and early afternoon sun. The single-storey layout of c.2,280 sq ft offers versatile living: a large dual-aspect sitting room with wood-burning stove, a beamed dining room with French doors to terrace, a generous kitchen/breakfast room, separate utility and a bedroom wing with a recently refitted shower room. Outbuildings include a summer house and timber shed; there is scope to reinstate a former garage (subject to consent).
The property will appeal to families and country buyers seeking privacy without isolation: bridleways and footpaths start from the lane, Wivelsfield station is about 1.2 miles away, and nearby towns provide schooling and commuter links to London, Brighton and Lewes. The grounds extend down to the River Adur, with meadow and woodland offering garden and hobby opportunities or safe play for pets and children.
Practical points are straightforward and important to note. The house uses oil-fired boiler heating and has double glazing fitted post-2002; the EPC is rated E. Broadband speeds are very slow, and the large plot will demand ongoing maintenance. Recent planning activity has been mixed: a 2025 application for a new dwelling within the grounds was withdrawn, an earlier extension/garage approval has lapsed, and there is an active application for a neighbouring plot — potential buyers should check current local planning status.
This is a rare countryside holding combining immediate family comfort with longer-term scope for improvement or modest development (subject to planning). For purchasers who value space, seclusion and rural lifestyle, Brook Lodge offers a durable home and a wide plot with genuine possibilities.
