Set at the top of Houndean Rise and backing directly onto the South Downs National Park, this substantial 2,343 sq ft detached home offers rare outdoor privacy and direct countryside access via a gated rear exit. The house spreads over three floors with flexible living space — ideal for families who want generous reception rooms alongside useful home-working and annexe potential.
On the ground floor a 25ft dual-aspect sitting room, 18ft kitchen-dining room and a 16ft conservatory provide bright family spaces with far-reaching views. A useful study with independent access, utility room and a converted studio (former double garage) give scope for a home office, gym or potential annexe. The garden is large, mature and particularly private, with a summerhouse, outside power and gate to the South Downs.
The home benefits from both Solar PV (10 panels on a feed-in tariff) and Solar Thermal for hot water, reducing running costs. There are four bedrooms and three bathrooms across the upper floors, most enjoying elevated views towards the South Downs. Off-street parking for several vehicles adds practical convenience.
Important considerations: the property dates from the 1930s and retains period character but will suit buyers happy to live with some original features; the EPC is D and council tax band F is expensive. This sale is offered chain free, making it a straightforward purchase for a family seeking space, privacy and immediate access to open countryside.
