Conservatory with underfloor heating opens to patio and decked gazebo

Set on approximately one third of an acre in sought-after Aldwick, this substantial four-bedroom detached home combines strong period character with generous family living space. The house retains many original features — oak doors with Sussex latches, an inglenook fireplace and leaded windows — and offers flexible accommodation including a large kitchen/breakfast room, conservatory with underfloor heating and an extended wing that could readily form an annexe.
Outside, the plot is a major asset: established lawns, a vegetable patch, wildflower area, Indian stone patio and a large decked gazebo provide varied outdoor rooms and privacy from mature planting. Practical benefits include ample off-street parking for several cars, a covered car port area, and a double garage, all useful for family life or home-based hobbies.
Buyers should note a few material points. The property dates from the 1930s and, while well maintained, shows typical period construction: cavity walls appear to have no added insulation, the EPC is a D and glazing-install dates are unknown. Broadband is described as slow despite full-fibre available in part of the house, and council tax is high. These factors may prompt upgrades (insulation, energy improvements, windows) and affect running costs.
This is a versatile family home for those who value character, generous grounds and scope to modernise. The layout and large side extension make annexe conversion realistic for multigenerational living, a home office, or rental income (subject to consents). Offered chain free, it will suit buyers seeking substantial outdoor space and period detail within a very affluent, low-crime neighbourhood.
