Description:

A charming period home in an unspoilt edge of village setting at the foot of the South Downs with exceptional country views.

THE PROPERTY Levers is a comfortable character home in a prime, private, edge of village location with wonderful views. The house is not listed and requires some modernisation. It has three good reception rooms, many exposed timbers, beamed ceilings and an 'L' shaped kitchen/breakfast room with garden views and a vaulted ceiling in part, providing a spacious feel. Upstairs a main bedroom suite (with dressing room and bathroom) has further country views, balanced with two more bedrooms and a family bathroom.



A separate annexe building is self-contained with sitting room, shower room and kitchenette at ground floor level and a large double bedroom on the first floor with commanding views. It can flex for guests, family or home working/studio space as required.

OUTSIDE The garden surrounds the house and is mainly laid to lawn for ease of management. There is a paved terrace around the garden room, with southerly and westerly aspects, an ideal area for outside entertaining. A large tarmac drive leads to the annexe with plenty of outside parking. The garden backs onto farmland with a hedge and some remarkable views towards the South Downs and countryside beyond.
