Description

CHAIN FREE. From the striking curved exterior to the light-filled interior spaces, every aspect has been carefully crafted for both aesthetics and functionality.

The emphasis on natural light and energy efficiency is commendable, enhancing not only the ambiance but also the sustainability of the home. The large picture windows in the drawing room, overlooking the decked viewing platform and the lake, must offer stunning vistas and a constant connection with nature. The expansive kitchen/breakfast room is a dream for both cooking enthusiasts and entertainers, with its luxury Gaggenau appliances and ample space for hosting gatherings, and the addition of a basement with a wine cellar, utility room, and storage area adds practicality and convenience to the home.

Ascending the elegant staircase to the first floor reveals the main bedroom with its ensuite bathroom, dressing room, and glazed balcony overlooking the lake. What a tranquil retreat! With three additional double bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bathroom, there's plenty of space for family and guests to enjoy the luxury of lakeside living.

Outside, the decked areas surrounding the house offer inviting spaces for relaxation and socialising, while the second decked platform over the lake provides a unique opportunity to immerse oneself in the natural beauty of the surroundings. Overall, this home is a haven of modern luxury nestled amidst peaceful semi-rural landscapes. It's truly a testament to contemporary architectural design and an ideal retreat for those seeking both elegance and tranquillity.

The towns of Uckfield and Heathfield both offer a good range of shopping and recreational facilities. The historic county town of Lewes is some 9 miles to the south west and provides an excellent range of individual shops, together with a good selection of restaurants and a mainline train station to London. Uckfield also provides a further mainline train service to London. Eastbourne and Brighton on the south coast also offer an extensive range of shopping, recreational and business facilities. Road communications in the area are very good with the A22 providing access to the M23 via the A23, the national motorway network, London Gatwick and Heathrow airports.

These include Bede's at Upper Dicker, St Andrews at Eastbourne, Eastbourne College, Brighton College, Lewes Old Grammar, Hurstpierpoint College, Ardingly College and Mayfield School. The surrounding countryside provides delightful walking and riding, particularly on the South Downs. There is golf at the East Sussex National (Little Horsted) and Dewlands Manor (Rotherfield), Piltdown and Lewes; racing at Plumpton, Lingfield and Brighton; sailing and water sports at Eastbourne and Newhaven Marinas as well as other south coast centres.
