Nestled on an expansive plot of approximately 2.8 acres, this distinctive detached family home offers 2,690 sq ft of living space infused with mid-century charm and potential for revitalization. Positioned in a tranquil rural setting, the property features beautiful views towards the South Downs and Chanctonbury Ring, making it an idyllic retreat while still within reach of local amenities.
Entering through an inviting stable door, you're welcomed by a hall showcasing neutral tones that set a calming tone throughout the home. The generous living room is anchored by dark wooden beams and a striking inglenook fireplace, enhancing its character. With patio doors leading to the garden, this space seamlessly integrates indoor-outdoor living—a perfect canvas for modern upgrades or open-plan concepts.
The well-appointed kitchen, designed for culinary enthusiasts, connects to a dining area featuring patio access to a stone-paved terrace—ideal for entertaining during warmer months. Although fully functional, both areas present opportunities for enhancements that could elevate their appeal further. A utility room and an office/guest bedroom offer versatile spaces already adapted for practical use.
The first floor accommodates four spacious double bedrooms and three bathrooms. The primary suite stands out with its high ceilings and remarkable vistas, complete with an ensuite featuring both a jacuzzi bath and shower. While the existing layout is functional, there’s scope to modernize the bathrooms or reconfigure rooms according to your needs.
Outside, the property includes a sun-soaked terrace beside a landscaped pond and an extensive paddock bordered by trees providing privacy. The front driveway ensures ample parking alongside a detached quadruple garage—partially converted into a gym—which holds potential as both storage or possibly additional living space if desired.
This property not only serves as a comfortable family home but also represents significant renovation potential: whether you aspire to reinstate stables from its past or repurpose outbuildings for new uses. Located in Small Dole near Steyning with good access routes to larger towns offers additional convenience, while excellent local schools add to its investment value. With careful consideration, this distinctive home can be transformed into your dream country residence.
