Set within expansive grounds approaching a private parkland setting, the plot provides an abundance of possibilities. Whether you are seeking a smallholding, equestrian paddocks, a private nature reserve, or simply an unrivalled family retreat, the scope on offer is remarkable.

The principal residence offers spacious and adaptable accommodation throughout. A magnificent living room with vaulted ceiling forms the heart of the home, creating a wonderful sense of light and space. Adjacent is a substantial kitchen/breakfast room, perfectly designed for family life and entertaining, whilst additional reception accommodation includes a further sitting room and a dedicated games room. The ground floor is further served by a family shower room/WC, utility room and practical boot room with access to the inner courtyard.

On the first floor, five generously proportioned double bedrooms provide excellent family accommodation. The impressive principal suite benefits from a dressing area and en-suite shower room, while many of the rear-facing rooms enjoy spectacular panoramic views over the South Downs National Park and neighbouring countryside.

A significant and more recent addition to the property is the impressive contemporary annexe, offering independent accommodation of exceptional quality. The centrepiece is an outstanding open-plan living, dining and kitchen area with direct access to a large balcony, perfectly positioned to enjoy the far-reaching rural views. Two exceptionally spacious double bedrooms are provided, both benefitting from en-suite facilities, whilst a separate utility room adds further practicality.

Externally, the property's extensive grounds are a defining feature. A substantial oak-framed tandem garage is complemented by a large workshop with attached store, together with additional tractor and garden storage facilities. The beautifully varied gardens combine formal areas of lawn and hardstanding with extensive natural planting, mature trees and winding pathways that create a unique and tranquil environment rich in wildlife and character.

This is an extraordinary country-style residence offering privacy, flexibility and lifestyle opportunities seldom found within Peacehaven, all whilst remaining conveniently positioned for local amenities, transport links and the stunning Sussex coastline.
