Occupying the central section of this charming former school building, The Old School House has been thoughtfully and stylishly renovated by the current owners to create a striking home that seamlessly blends period charm with refined modern living, set against the backdrop of breath taking South Downs views.

The approach is delightfully framed by well-planted flower beds leading to an enclosed porch, complete with original oak door and charming children's school coat hooks, a nod to the building's heritage. Inside, the large main living room is both welcoming and impressive, featuring a contemporary wood-burning stove with encaustic tile surround that subtly echoes the Victorian origins of the building. The room is wonderfully light, the current owners have replaced the windows throughout the home, sleek black powder-coated aluminium windows offer double glazing with a heritage aesthetic, enhancing both comfort and character.

Warm wooden floors with underfloor heating flow through the main reception room into the adjoining snug and dining area, where full-height cabinetry offers elegant and practical storage. A large skylight and French doors, that match all the windows, flood the dining space with natural light and provide access to the rear terrace, perfect for entertaining. The kitchen is beautifully appointed with high-end appliances and a five-burner induction hob, complemented by a utility room and a stylish ground-floor cloakroom.

The first floor offers three beautifully designed bedrooms, each enjoying elevated views and thoughtful bespoke touches. The second bedroom features fitted shelving, vaulted ceilings, and French doors opening onto a flat roof above the kitchen. The family shower room is stylish and modern, finished to a high standard. Occupying the top floor, the principal room also with vaulted ceilings, is a calm, light-filled retreat with built-in storage, far reaching views across the Downs, and a contemporary bathroom that captures the same stunning outlook.

The outside space is as thoughtfully designed as the interiors. Immediately behind the house, a private terrace flows from the kitchen, ideal for outside dining, with spiral staircase leading up to a terraced garden with chalk hillside beyond, and a children's play space. Across the lane lies the main garden: a large, lawned space bordered by mature trees and offering spectacular, far-reaching views. At the far end sits a bespoke raised cedar-deck dining area designed to fully appreciate the setting, in addition a covered gazebo offers shelter or shade. A well-planned kitchen garden includes a timber greenhouse and storage shed, creating a space as practical as it is picturesque.

Private parking for approximately four vehicles lies adjacent to the house, completing this rare and beautifully styled home, a property where architectural integrity meets modern sophistication, within stunning views of the South Downs' wonderful landscapes.
