About this property

A quite immaculately presented home, with a floor area of around 2,030 sq ft, this modern 5 bedroom detached family home enjoys a rare, tranquil lakeside setting with uninterrupted views and complete privacy. Set in a quiet, family-friendly cul-de-sac, the property was built just four years ago and is thoughtfully designed across three floors to maximise natural life and spectacular lake views. Highlights include two lake-facing balconies with frameless glass balustrades, a stylish mix of red brick and grey-cladding, and a south - facing landscaped garden with Indian sandstone terrace. Inside you'll find a spacious living room and master bedroom both opening onto balconies with breathtaking views, a high-spec kitchen/diner with Siemens appliances and Juliette balcony, three sleek bath/shower rooms (two en suites), and five generous bedrooms. Additional features: private driveway for two/three vehicles, detached garage with power and a peaceful, countryside feel - just minutes away from local amenities. Access to private ancient woodland with an excellent range of nurseries, schools and colleges.

South Chailey is a popular village just 4.5 miles north of Lewes and boasts a popular and well referred Secondary School and Primary School. There is a local convenience shop, and the area is served by several popular public houses offering dining. A few minutes’ walk away is St Mary's Church and sports ground, with Chailey Heritage School and Memorial Common a short distance away. Within a few minutes’ drive is The Common and the car park with some lovely walks in open countryside throughout the year. The cosmopolitan County Town of Lewes has a wide range of shops, bars and cafes as well as Waitrose and Tesco and a small retail industrial estate. There is a mainline railway station at nearby Cooks bridge as well as Lewes with regular services to London Victoria which is about an hour away, with Brighton and The Amex Stadium being about 20 minutes away. Glyndebourne Opera House is only a short drive away in nearby Glynde within the Southdown's National Park.
