A modern, detached, well-presented family home, enjoying a generous plot and countryside views on the fringes of the highly-regarded village of Burwash in the heart of East Sussex
Taken from the old Sussex dialect word for 'bumblebee', Dumbledore is the ideal name for this generous, modern, family home, that enjoys a glorious rural outlook, with far reaching views towards Brightling Needle, part of the ' Mad Jack Fuller' (a notorious historical figure and Sussex resident) trail.
Built in 2000, the house is deceptively substantial, with a split-level design and emphasis made on framing the views to the rear of the house, whilst filling the space with generous levels of natural light.
The spacious ground floor is well suited to modern family life, with well-proportioned reception space. There is a large study to the front of the house, ideal for today's working from home needs, but this room could be utilised in any number of ways. The front to back reception room is split level and divided into two areas, to the front there is a snug/family/music room with steps leading down to the sitting room which enjoys the wonderful view and access onto the terrace and garden beyond, as does the adjoining dining area.
The kitchen comprises both attractive wall and base units, providing plenty of preparation space and storage together with a range of integrated Bosch appliances. There is an adjoining utility room with space for further appliances and access to the garden. A wc completes the ground floor.
The first floor is home to the principal bedroom which enjoys the views to the rear, with steps up to a dressing area and en suite shower room. There are three further double bedrooms and a single fifth bedroom which are all served by the family bathroom.
Outside: Dumbedore is comfortably set back from the road, approached over a small area of shared access, which leads to the private gated driveway, with parking for numerous vehicles in addition to the detached double garage.
Dumbledore enjoys a plot of 0.47 acres in total, this is comprised of a formal garden that wraps around the house, with a raised paved terrace, that can be accessed directly from both the sitting room and dining area, the perfect spot for outdoor entertaining whilst taking in the views. The house then further benefits from the ownership of a sizeable portion of the field at the rear, together with the neighbouring property (who own the remaining portion). This land is not formally divided and currently kept as an open space and wild flower meadow for optimum enjoyment.

Dumbledore is a super family home, our clients have made considerable improvements under their ownership whilst still leaving plenty of scope for a new family to do more if they wish. I found myself constantly drawn to the simply captivating views. This is a house to enjoy throughout the year as the landscape and vista changes with the seasons.
