Detached house for sale in Poynings Road, Fulking BN5

This sensational house is perfect for large families and/or multi-generational living. There are multiple reception spaces, ideal for everyone to have their own space and equally for entertaining. The accommodation is generous, totaling some 6378 square feet. Three of the five living areas have both a front & rear outlook, making the spaces feel bright and airy and offering great views across the delightful garden. They comprise, in short, an open-plan sitting and family room, generous games room leading to a study and shower room, formal dining room, lounge and spacious kitchen-breakfast room. The latter flows seamlessly into the conservatory, making the room feel as if it’s extending into the garden and flooding the space with natural daylight.

Off the kitchen is a front to back hallway, housing a boot room and utility area, as well as giving direct access to the annexe and garage at the front of the house. This means the annexe can be accessed independently to the house, directly off the drive. It currently houses a large office/workspace on the ground floor with an adjacent shower room (marked as studio on the floorplan), with a living room and open-plan kitchen, bedroom and en-suite bathroom above, as well as a spacious terrace taking in the views of the Downs. The configuration allows for myriad uses (large home office, workshop, guest suite, annexe etc.).

Back in the main house, the first floor is occupied by generous principal bedroom with ensuite shower room, a guest bedroom with further ensuite shower room, two further spacious bedrooms and a family bathroom. The second floor attic room (currently accessed by a ‘paddle’ stair) offers fabulous further potential for expansion of the accommodation (subject to consents) with the opportunity for a spectacular principal suite with balcony to take in the far-reaching views.

Outside

A mature and extremely private plot approaching 1.7 acres, the grounds of The Paddock are (like the internal accommodation) perfect for families and entertaining. Automated gates at the front of the house open onto a generous driveway with ample parking and an integral garage. The front garden is bordered by mature hedging and a pretty orchard, whilst to the rear, the gardens are level, set to lawn and feature an impressive water feature/pond with magical lighting system. A superb Swim Spa sits at the rear of the house, with a separate swimming pool further down the garden, beside the pool house and garden store.

Situation

Fulking is a beautiful village nestled on the lower slopes of the South Downs National Park. The village itself has a renowned Cricket Club and a well-regarded village pub (The Shepherd and Dog). The area also has fantastic access to Brighton and Hove with the city centre just 7.5 miles away, but also has immediate access to miles of wonderful countryside for walking, horse riding, running and cycling.
