Set back on a quiet no-through road in South Chailey, this well-presented detached family house combines genuine 18th-century character with a large modern rear extension. The property’s historic core (c.1725–1750) sits alongside a two-storey extension creating a generous master suite with Juliette balcony; a detached double garage (2008) with room above and solar panels supports modern family life.
Accommodation is versatile across three floors with five double bedrooms and three shower/bathrooms, a living room with an original inglenook and woodburner, plus a 27ft x 18ft open-plan kitchen/dining/family space. The garden is private and secluded, with a pergola, ornamental pond and detached insulated home office/studio — the studio could be adapted with modest works into an annexe.
Practical points are straightforward: freehold tenure, oil-fired central heating, double glazing installed pre-2002, and off-road parking for four vehicles. Broadband speeds are reported as slow in the area and the house will require routine upkeep typical of a large period property. There is no listed building status and the vendor is reportedly suited with no onward chain.
For families who value space, privacy and countryside access, the house lies a short walk from footpaths and village amenities, and within convenient driving distance of several mainline stations. The property offers a rare mix of historic charm, flexible living spaces and outbuildings for home working or hobbies.
