Originally built as the rectory for Hamsey Church, Pellbrook House is a substantial detached property which dates back to 1922. It occupies a wonderful rural position adjoining open farmland, yet is just two miles (about four minutes' drive) from the centre of historic Lewes. It has been the subject of further additions and now offers extensive accommodation arranged over two floors. At its centrepiece is an expansive and striking reception room, featuring beautiful solid wood flooring, Sonos sound system and a soaring central roof lantern, flooding the space with natural light. This impressive area provides an elegant setting for grand-scale entertaining and memorable gatherings. Beyond the grand reception room, the property offers versatile living spaces including a refined drawing room, a garden room that flows seamlessly into the kitchen/breakfast area, which is ideally suited for everyday family life, and a large games room designed for fun and relaxation, complete with ample space for a pool table, table tennis, and entertainment screens. For those working from home, a dedicated study/sitting room and adjoining further study provide quiet, functional workspaces.

With seven spacious bedrooms, Pellbrook House comfortably accommodates large families or multi-generational living. The principal suite impresses with abundant fitted storage, a generous en suite bathroom, and views over the Ouse Valley. The remainder of the bedrooms offer plenty of space for the family, one has a private section of terrace and an ensuite shower room, and one has a balcony; they all have built-in storage, and are served by a family bathroom and a separate shower room. Above the games room is a one bedroom flat with its own private entrance, comprising living room/bedroom, kitchen and shower room, which can either be incorporated into the main house to give seven bedrooms or used as secondary accommodation if required.

The house is approached via a country lane from the main road, over which Pellbrook House has right to access; it opens to a wide driveway giving plenty of parking space ahead of the Sussex Barn style double bay garage, and a further outbuilding, the former stables, now providing machinery storage and workshop, incorporating a borehole access and pump controls. Planning permission was granted on 12 April 2022 to convert this outbuilding to a single storey holiday let, consisting of living/kitchen, bedroom, utility and shower room, with parking adjacent, ref: SDNP/21/05817/FUL. The borehole provides irrigation for the beautiful landscaped gardens, and the productive kitchen garden which adjoins the outbuilding.

The driveway rises to the house and the gardens, which surround the house and lie mainly to the south; a formal lawn is bordered by well-stocked beds, with a central summer house. There is a greenhouse, a potting shed and two further garden sheds. Adjoining the house is paved terrace creating a wonderful spot for entertaining or simply relaxing whilst enjoying the surroundings. The lawn slopes gently away to the south and plot is well enclosed from the surrounding farmland. About 1.44 acres.
