" THE PROPERTY: Situated in the heart of the much sought after and picturesque downland village of Kingston, Downsview has a distinctly rustic yet contemporary look and feel. The property sits on a large plot with generous gardens to front and rear. The original property is approx 100 years old and has been sympathetically extended and refurbished by the current owners over the last 15 years to create a superbly presented large family home with very generously proportioned rooms throughout. With many miles of spectacular walking and riding country on its doorstep, Kingston boasts highly regarded pre-school and primary schools. The village has a regular bus service into Lewes, Brighton and beyond, a charming and historic 13th century church, a traditional Sussex Public House, tennis courts and recreation facilities which are currently being enhanced by the development of a new eco-friendly sports pavilion. An 'online' village shop offers delivery of diverse and freshly sourced groceries to your door. Kingston's numerous clubs and societies provide both sporting and socialising opportunities for young and old. The vibrant and historic county town of Lewes is just over 2 miles away, accessible on foot, by car or public transport. Lewes provides a mainline railway station with direct links to both London Victoria and London Bridge, in a journey time of about 65 minutes. The town has highly regarded state and independent secondary schools, an excellent range of individual shops, restaurants and recreational facilities as well as two supermarkets. The University of Sussex, Brighton University and the city of Brighton and Hove are all easily accessible, both by public and private transport.
