Charles Wycherley Independent Estate Agents are delighted to offer this fine, (over 2,200 sq.ft.) light-filled, link-detached house with secluded private gardens, to the open market. This property is situated on a footpath that delightfully allows walking or cycling past the Stanley Turner nature reserve lake and sports field, leading to Southover schools and the town centre without crossing a road, as well as heading south towards Rodmell and Southease. The house has been superbly modernised by the current owner. The first floor comprises 4 double bedrooms, with an ensuite bathroom to the master, and a family bathroom with a power shower. The ground floor features an entrance hall, a large 22' x 21' sitting room, and a further drawing room with fireplace, as well as a two-tier south facing kitchen with dining/sun room and a cloakroom. The property benefits from automatic gates leading to a large parking area and a large well-planted wrap-around garden with seating deck/terrace with a fine view towards Lewes. The house enjoys excellent views of the South Downs/Kingston Ridge, Firle Beacon/Mount Caburn valley, and Lewes town centre. It also features double glazed windows and gas fired central heating.
Windrush is in a fine elevated position on the south outskirts of Lewes, near the edge of Kingston. There is footpath access to the village, including the excellent Kingston primary school & pre-school, as well as the 15th century pub, The Juggs, the historic The Street, village hall, church, tennis courts, farm shop, village green and access onto the South Downs. Lewes can easily be reached on foot, or is a short bus or car ride away, with its historic centre of period buildings, independents shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants. The town also offers 3 supermarkets, the Depot Cinema, and Lewes railway station with direct connections to London Victoria (approx. 60 mins), London Bridge (approx. 70 mins) and Brighton (approx. 20 mins). Brighton is also easily accessible via the A27 through Kingston, the A23, and the C7, which continues south out of Lewes towards Newhaven and the south coast. There is a bus stop outside the property with pick up/drop off for local and private schools.
