Set on a private 0.75-acre south-facing plot at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this striking 1960s detached house blends mid-century character with later, high-quality remodelling. The home offers generous, light-filled reception rooms, full-height glazing to maximise views, and both indoor and outdoor swimming pools — excellent for family life and year-round entertaining. The long driveway, triple garage and mature beech hedging provide strong privacy and substantial off-street parking.
Accommodation is arranged over multiple levels with an impressive galleried entrance, an expansive master suite with dual dressing areas, and two ground-floor bedrooms with en-suites. The open-plan flow links sitting rooms, a library, a bespoke 1970s-style kitchen and a glazed loggia that opens onto the indoor pool and terrace — all designed to take advantage of southerly views toward the South Downs.
The house has notable period and architectural features from different eras but also presents opportunity for sensitive updating or alteration (subject to planning). Practical considerations include an EPC rating of C, double glazing installed before 2002, assumed cavity wall construction without added insulation, and ongoing maintenance of two swimming pools and associated plant equipment. Council Tax is Band G, reflecting the property’s size and local charging band.
This is a substantial family home for buyers seeking privacy, entertaining space and exceptional outdoor amenity. It will particularly suit purchasers wanting a distinctive mid-century property with scope to personalise and invest in energy improvements and pool maintenance to maximise long-term comfort and value.
