This fantastic family home on the market with Hamlyn Smith is in a beautiful location on the edge of the Downs and with views to the south and the sea. As you enter the house into a central hallway, there are double bedrooms with south-facing windows to both your right and left on the ground floor. The living spaces, including a large living/dining room and the kitchen, are located at the rear of the house with views of the garden. The kitchen has modern units with space and plumbing for a washing machine, space for a cooker, with a built-in extractor fan above, plenty of worktop space and quality vinyl floor tiles. There is a door directly to the part of the garden that runs down the side of the house, where there is a patio area and a log store. Beyond the patio, there is a large lawn, mature shrubs, and a workshop which is fully insulated and has power and lighting. The house has been extended on the ground floor to provide a superb light living room with windows to both the side and rear. Double doors open to the garden and the centerpiece of the room is a wood-burning stove. Upstairs there are two further double bedrooms and a stylish contemporary shower room. The master bedroom is especially spacious and has views over the South Downs at the back and to the sea at the front. The current owner loves watching wildlife on the Downs from the windows. There are hares, foxes, and a badger that make regular appearances.

The house is located at the end of Howard Road which is a no-through road, making this a peaceful spot with no passing traffic.
