Built in around the 90‘s, Ashleigh House is a home that has evolved into the 21st century, remodelled in 2010 to create a contemporary open-plan living-dining family kitchen.
Pull along the block-paved driveway where there is ample parking alongside a detached garage with automatic lighting. Mature trees provide a leafy backdrop, approaching the largely glazed front door.
Step inside
In the broad and bright entrance hall, subtle sunshine tones dress the walls creating a calming, welcoming atmosphere. With ample space for furniture, sense the spaciousness of this home upon arrival.
Peacefully nestled to the front of the home and overlooking the driveway, open the first door on the left to arrive at the study. Carpeted underfoot, with Crested Moss tones to the walls, the study could also serve as a snug lounge or playroom for children.
Freshen up in the cloakroom, next door and on the left. Spacious, light and with a window to the side, this room is tiled underfoot and contains a wash basin and WC.
Across the entrance hall, relax and unwind in the sitting room, where sunlight streams in through a large lattice window overlooking the front. Spacious and elegant, decorated in soothing hues of ‘Tuscan Treasures‘, subtle sconce lighting offers soft and ambient illumination in the evening. Snuggle up in front of the marble fireplace with gas fire and enjoy cosy winter evenings in with family and friends.
Go with the flow
A home with an easy and sociable flow, open a door from the sitting room through to the modern kitchen-dining family room, the heart of the home.
Redesigned in 2010, this area has been opened up and amalgamated to offer open-plan living perfectly attuned to modern family life. Tiled underfoot and warmed by underfloor heating, dimmable LED spotlighting shines down from above. Savour the views from the dining table out through large French doors to the lush lawn beyond. Dine alfresco in the summer months on the neatly paved patio, ideal for barbecues and aperitifs.
Granite worktops offer plenty of preparation space to the left, extending out into a breakfast bar peninsula where there is ample seating. A place to enjoy casual drinks, conversation and even to perch with a laptop, this sociable kitchen affords families the space to come together even when engaged on individual tasks.
Ash wood doors to the cabinetry add warmth to the room, opening to reveal abundant storage for culinary essentials and utensils. Integrated appliances include a Bosch dishwasher, AEG oven and AEG hob, whilst the Grant boiler was newly fitted in 2017. There is also plumbing for a washer-dryer in addition to an undermounted sink with grooved drainage. A separate door also provides direct access outside into the garden. There is also ample space for an American-style fridge freezer.
Returning directly to the entrance hall, admire the spiral of the solid wood handrail on the staircase, before ascending to the first-floor landing where light, entering through a large window, serenades the space.
Sweet slumber
Rest your head for the night in the main bedroom, through the first door on the right as you walk up the stairs. Overlooking the front, enjoy sunrise views from this spacious double bedroom. Carpeted underfoot, a large lattice window frames views out to the mature trees at the front. Natural light fills the room for a calming, relaxed mood, also served by the soothing d?cor. Store your clothes in the built-in wardrobes and enjoy a soothing soak in the ensuite, furnished with bath containing showerhead attachment, vanity unit wash basin and WC.
Across the landing and overlooking the private, manicured garden, discover bedroom four, a peaceful bedroom with built-in storage, currently used as an office.
Soak & sleep
Begin the day with an invigorating spritz in the shower, in the bathroom next door. Furnished with bath featuring showerhead attachment, separate shower cubicle, wash basin and WC, this bathroom is part-tiled to the walls, drawing in plenty of natural light through a large window to the rear.
A large linen cupboard on the landing is ideal for towels and bedding, before arriving next at bedroom three, a relaxing double bedroom, also enjoying verdant views out over the rear garden. Soak up the sunset colours in the sky from your bed as the golden hour gives way to dusk on summer evenings.
Bedroom two is positioned to the front of the home; spacious and serene, framing leafy vistas out over the quiet driveway and garden to the front. With plenty of room for a king-size bed, this room also provides plenty of storage for clothes and accessories in its contemporary fitted wardrobes, installed in 2007.
Shelter, sunshine and shade
Perfectly private, the rear garden at Ashleigh House is tucked away behind a screen of mature evergreen hedging to the rear, whilst secure fencing runs to the sides.
Step out from the kitchen onto the curved patio, separated from the lush lawn by a neat, low level retaining wall. Soak up the late afternoon sun on the patio and enjoy barbecue fun with the family throughout the summer months.
Easily maintainable, the substantially-sized, flat lawn is perfect for children‘s games, whilst the elevated, composite decking to the far corner - recently installed in 2020 - is perfect for enjoying coffee and croissants in the morning sunshine.
Follow the securely gated, paved pathway to the front lawn, where a mature ash tree provides shelter and shade, rising up beside the detached garage, with pedestrian access through a door to the side.
Near and far
Bluebell fields await your explorations in the neighbouring farmland, a sea of blue in the springtime. With so much nature on your doorstep, discover the countryside and local delights at your leisure. Walk or cycle past Balneath Manor to soak up the splendid views across the Downs or walk to the Hook to be rewarded with stunning views over the rounded grassy hills.
After adventuring through the countryside, reward your endeavours with a thirst-quencher at local village pub The Five Bells. Only one mile from Ashleigh House, this charming village inn offers ample outdoor seating for the summer with crackling open fires in the winter.
Dine out at local gastropubs The Sloop and The Jolly Sportsman; both located within a handy 10-minute drive of Ashleigh House and with outside dining available in the summer.
Pick up your essentials in the nearby town of Lewes, only 15-minutes‘ drive away, and serving up a selection of pleasant restaurants and caf?s. There is a handy Post Office available only half a mile‘s walk away in Chailey whilst the local South Chailey GP surgery is also located only half a mile from the front door.
A village with a thriving community spirit, Chailey hosts annual fetes and holds the Chailey Bonfire Society and Bonfire display in the village in November.
Families are well served by the local schools, including local Chailey Secondary School, recently rated ‘Good‘ by Ofsted in its 2022 visit.
Private, quiet, and set in a tranquil, secluded location with an abundance of idyllic walks on the doorstep, Ashleigh House, with its open-plan spaces and spacious bedrooms, offers a safe and serene setting for a growing family.
