Set on a premium private residential road on the eastern side of Ditching village looking toward the South Downs, the Shirleys estate and the original 14 and a half acre orchard site has history from 1937 with some of the original fruit trees in existence in the gardens. The house provides flexible accommodation over two floors and it has been subject to extension over the years with attached double garage, workshop and conservatory to the rear. The house occupies one of the larger plots on Shirleys, circa 0.5 acres, as the current owners have obtained more land to the rear.
The property offers further potential remodeling(stnc) and is accessed via good sized entrance hall with a ground floor cloakroom. There is a bright L-shape sitting room, with exposed brick recessed fireplace, opening into a snug(currently used as music room) with wooden parquet flooring and two sets of double doors that open into the conservatory. From the conservatory, double doors lead to the paved terrace and south west facing gardens. The separate dining room overlooks the front of the property and opens onto a office allowing formal and informal living spaces. The L-shape kitchen/breakfast room with a range of base and eye level units incorporating hob, oven and space for dishwasher opens into a split level lobby. The lobby not only provides ideal boot room but offers access to the utility room(with separate door to outside), workshop and attached double garage, as well as access to the front providing a useful covered separate area after long country walks with dogs and children’s sports linking front and rear gardens as well.
To the first floor are three bedrooms, including a principle with en suite shower room. There are a further two bedrooms on this floor that have use of the main bathroom
Outside
The home is set back from the road behind post and rail fence with private driveway providing off-street parking for several vehicles with well manicured lawn, mature trees and high hedges with access to an attached double garage. The south west facing rear garden is a particular feature and great size as overall plot measures half an acre and is mostly laid to lawn flanked with wide and varied borders comprising bedding plants, shrubs and trees with a spacious patio perfectly designed for outdoor dining, all enclosed by established trees and tall hedging affording a high degree of seclusion.
Situation
Situated in the picturesque downland village of Ditchling, which falls within the South Downs National Park and is well-known for its artistic community and many historic listed houses. The village has a range of local amenities including independent shops, two public houses and primary school; there are miles of footpaths and bridleways in the surrounding countryside, across Ditchling Common and on the South Downs.
The Shirleys estate and the original 14 and a half acre orchard site has history from 1937 with some of the original fruit trees in existence in the gardens.
