Sitting at the end of a long private driveway, in an elevated position enhancing outstanding panoramic views to the South Downs, The Field is a split-level home built in 1959.

The distinctive style of the house echoes the design principles of Mid-Century Modern architecture, externally characterised by clean lines and simple elevations of brick and timber cladding, and internally with spacious open plan living spaces and plenty of large picture windows bringing the outdoors in and framing the southerly views.

The floorplans and the accommodation list give a comprehensive overview of the full extent and layout of the property, which has excellent scope for updating and/or extension, subject to the necessary consents.

The main living space is split level, with the reception rooms sited along the southern side of the house, large windows framing the views over the house's gardens and land to the distinctive ridge of the South Downs beyond. The porch and hall opens directly to the kitchen and dining room, which is fitted with floor-mounted units with marble worktops and integrated appliances, and is served by a shelved larder cupboard and a large utility room.

Steps descend to the wonderful, vaulted sitting room which has the original parquet flooring, a low inset fireplace, full height bookshelving to one wall, and French doors opening to the garden. A raised walkway allows access to the three bedrooms, all of which have oak flooring and fitted storage cupboards, and the bathroom.

Outside
The Field is approached from Brighton Road via a long private track, which opens to a driveway ahead of the house and attached double garage.

The formal gardens lie to the south and west, laid to gently sloping lawn with well-stocked flower and shrub borders close to the house. A band of deciduous bluebell woodland, through which runs a small stream, forms the north western boundary. Stone steps set into the lawn descend to the fence and beech hedge-enclosed swimming pool and timber pool cabin; a small orchard and the fenced tennis court (which is in need of some repair) lies beyond, and a band of mature woodland

The reminder of the land is laid to pasture, bounded by mature trees and hedgerows teeming with wildlife and birds. About 6.43 acres.

The land forming Lot 2 lies to the south east of the house, with a small area of hardstanding (on which was formerly sited a stable) in the north-western corner. About 7.32 acres.

Please refer to the site plan for further detail.
