"Stunning contemporary home in a sought after village.
Description
24 Shirleys is a stunning detached family house, situated on a no through private road in the popular downland village of Ditchling. The house was acquired by the current owner in 2017, and they undertook a comprehensive, architect led renovation, substantially increasing the property s footprint and creating a superb contemporary home, with white rendered front and side elevations and striking larch panelling and cement board at the rear. The property is exceptionally well presented throughout, offering stylish and comfortable accommodation which is arranged over two floors and extends to approximately 4041 sq ft, including the garage.
The house is ideally suited to modern family life and combines the best aspects of open plan living with plenty of separate reception space. The interior renovation has been thoughtfully designed to emphasise the beautiful setting of the house and to create a sense of space, with many vaulted ceilings and an open layout ensuring an excellent flow. Full height glazed sliding doors are fitted to the rear ground floor framing the wonderful outlook over the garden, and the stunning open staircase ensures the view is a focal point from the moment the front door is opened.
The main hub of day to day life is the kitchen dining sitting room, which has been cleverly arranged to provide distinct zones. It is open to the reception hall and is both welcoming and spacious; the sliding doors open up to the terrace, giving an uninterrupted flow between inside and out and creating a fantastic space for entertaining. The sitting room has a bespoke TV and fire surround, set with a bio ethanol fire. The kitchen benefits from Calacatta quartz work surfaces and island, and is very well equipped, combining stylish design with a practical layout and plenty of space for prep. The island is fitted with a venting induction hob, and has copper sheeting to the underside of the breakfast bar; integrated appliances include three ovens, a built in fridge, a freezer and a dishwasher, and there is space for a large dining table, and adjoining the kitchen is a utility room which has a courtesy door to the garage.
Further reception space is offered by the cinema room which could be used as a games or family room if required; there is a study, and a ground floor bedroom office with access to the cloakroom also accessible from the hall .
On the first floor, the principal suite has a spacious dressing room and a luxury en suite with a walk in shower; the bedroom has doors to the flat roof. There are three further bedrooms, one with an en suite shower, and a beautifully fitted bathroom with Brazilian slate tiles and mood lighting.
The house is approached via a wide shingled driveway offering parking for several vehicles ahead of the garage and house, with a lawn to the side. The garage has an electronically operated up and over door, and door to the side access. There is an exterior EV charging point, and access to the rear garden at either side of the house.
At the rear of the ground floor is an elevated tiled terrace, a superb spot to eat and entertain al fresco, with southerly views of the distinctive South Downs. The wide lawn stretches away from the house to the east; there is a stream marking the boundary, with woodland beyond creating a delightful outlook. The plot extends in all to just over 0.4 of an acre.
