About this property

  • Cedar House is an impressive modern property, built to a high specification in 2013 and subsequently extended by the current owner. The property is characterised by cedar clad and brick elevations and has the benefit of far-reaching views to the South Downs from all principal rooms.

    The floorplans offer an excellent overview of the full layout; the accommodation is arranged over two floors, with features including engineered oak flooring, porcelain tiles, full height sliding glass doors to all rooms on the south-facing elevation, framing the striking views.

    The spacious sitting room has a wood burning stove and has been extended to the south. The kitchen/dining room is well-equipped with contemporary gloss units complemented by granite surfaces, and also has a wood burning stove. Integrated appliances include Bosch ovens, wine fridge, induction hob with extractor over and a dishwasher; there is a utility room and a boot room with plumbing for washing machine.

    A study/bedroom five lies to the front of the house, and a shower room completes the ground floor.

    There are four bedrooms on the first floor, all with vaulted ceilings. The principal bedroom has built-in wardrobes, a balcony and an en suite bathroom with shower over and pair of basins. Bedroom two also has a balcony; the family bathroom has a bath with shower over.

    Cedar House is approached by a driveway leading to a parking area for several cars and an attached double garage with boarded loft area. The property is set in landscaped gardens, with mature oak trees, planted with shrubs and trees. Adjoining the rear of the house is a raised wooden deck with steps down to the lawn, offering a delightful outside seating area overlooking the garden and taking full advantage of the wonderful views to the South Downs. The garden can be accessed from the side of the house via a gate and is fully enclosed by panelled and post and rail fencing.

    Agent's Note: The neighbouring property, Oak House, has right of access over the driveway.

This house offers versatile living space with the ground floor wet room; I particularly like the principal bedroom's vaulted ceiling and balcony, the views are superb.
