Spacious character home with studio, large gardens and South Downs views.
Detached converted chapel with characterful features and chimney
Set on the edge of East Dean within the South Downs National Park, The Croft is a characterful converted chapel offering spacious family accommodation and sweeping countryside views. The flexible ground-floor second reception can serve as a bedroom or home office, while the detached garden studio with utility is ideal for remote working or a hobby space.
The house sits in large, well-stocked gardens with a stone entertaining terrace backing directly onto open farmland, creating an appealing indoor–outdoor flow. Two driveways, garage and additional off‑road parking make arriving and storing vehicles straightforward. The bright kitchen/breakfast room and generous sitting room with wood-burning stove give practical, comfortable living spaces for family life.
Practical considerations: the property dates from the 1930s and is heated by an oil-fired boiler, so ongoing maintenance and fuel costs should be factored in. Council tax is above average for the area. Overall the house offers strong potential for modernisation while retaining period charm and exceptional views, suited to families seeking rural village life with good transport and broadband connectivity.
