This spacious detached home offers nearly 1,920 sq ft of flexible accommodation designed for comfortable, low‑maintenance living. Set on a large plot adjacent to Happy Valley, the house benefits from southerly views towards the South Downs, mature wraparound gardens, driveway parking and a single garage. The principal bedroom includes an en‑suite; all four bedrooms are double in size, and generous reception rooms include a large lounge and separate formal dining room.
The property suits a retirement buyer seeking space and long‑term security. Built circa 1990 with double glazing (pre‑2002) and gas central heating, practical features include a utility room with guest cloakroom and a well‑proportioned kitchen/breakfast room. The house is offered chain free and has no flood risk.
Note the property will benefit from updating: some cosmetic and modernisation work is likely to be required to bring kitchens, bathrooms and finishes up to contemporary standards. Council tax is described as expensive. The local area is classified as having hampered aspiration and higher deprivation indicators, and nearby school ratings are mixed — factors to consider for buyers prioritising local services or capital‑growth predictors.
