Built in 2021 on the site of a former farm cottage, and benefitting from the remainder of a 10-year new build warranty, Great Thorndean Farm Gables is a striking contemporary country home, featuring handsome black weatherboarded elevations under a tiled roof. True to its name, the property boasts two soaring gables with full-height glazing into the apex, creating a modern yet harmonious blend with the traditional Sussex vernacular.

Extending to 2,650 square feet, this immaculately presented home is flooded with natural light and offers generous, well-proportioned rooms. The interiors are finished to the highest standards, with neutral décor, tiled flooring through much of the ground floor, and stylish features such as oak internal doors with wrought iron door furniture, plantation blinds, and luxurious Lusso Stone bathroom suites.

A solid wood front door opens into the entrance hall, with the ground floor bedroom accommodation to one side and the open-plan living space to the other. The kitchen and dining room is an expansive and versatile space, with ample space for a large dining table and/or sofas, and features full-height sliding doors leading to the south-facing terrace. The kitchen is superbly appointed, with dark grey shaker-style cabinetry, Silestone worktops, a wood-block-topped central island with breakfast bar, and appliances including a Mercury range oven with five-ring induction hob, a Bosch dishwasher, undercounter fridges, freezer, wine fridge, and a copper Capel sink.

A step descends to the elegant triple-aspect sitting room, which also benefits from full-height sliding doors, exposed timbers, and a modern Morso woodburner, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

The ground floor also offers two well-appointed bedrooms, both with French doors opening to the terrace on the west side of the house, and a stylish shower room with a large wet-room style shower. Additionally, there is a cloakroom and a utility room equipped with space for laundry appliances.

A staircase from the dining area rises to a spacious first-floor landing with a skylight, ideal for use as a study. The two bedroom suites on this floor are particularly impressive, featuring stunning vaulted ceilings with exposed timbers and full-height glazing that extends into the gable ends. The principal suite includes a large walk-in dressing room with custom shelving and hanging rails, an en suite bathroom with a freestanding bath and separate shower, and French doors opening to a Juliet balcony. The second bedroom suite has an en suite shower room and French doors leading to a balcony with a glazed balustrade.

Outside
The property is approached via a double five-bar gate that opens onto a large bonded gravel driveway and parking area. Elevated from the lane, the house makes a striking first impression.

The garden lies primarily to the west and south of the house, laid mainly to lawn with a large stone-paved terrace extending around two sides. A wooden post and rail fence partially divides the garden from the paddock, which stretches away from the house to the south west, bordered by mature trees and hedgerows, as indicated on the site plan.

In all, about 7.7 acres.
