Welcome Home

Occupying the entire ground floor of the magnificent Red House, an elegant Edwardian residence dating back to 1905, this exceptional apartment offers a rare opportunity to enjoy period grandeur, generous proportions and a truly idyllic countryside setting. Surrounded by the beautiful open landscapes of Chailey Common, yet within easy reach of nearby villages and transport links, it offers a lifestyle that is both peaceful and practical.

Extending to over 1,100 sq.ft., the apartment is rich in character, with impressively high ceilings, deep skirting boards, large bay windows and beautifully proportioned rooms creating an immediate sense of space and elegance. Tastefully updated throughout, the property successfully blends the timeless charm of its Edwardian origins with contemporary finishes, resulting in a home that is ready to move straight into.

The impressive open plan sitting/dining/kitchen is undoubtedly the heart of the home. Bathed in natural light from its striking bay windows and French doors, it enjoys uninterrupted views across the communal gardens while providing direct access outside, making it equally suited to relaxing with a morning coffee or entertaining friends on a summer's evening. Adjacent to this area, the modern shaker-style kitchen has been thoughtfully designed with an excellent range of storage, generous worktop space and integrated appliances, making it both practical and stylish.

The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, offering a wonderfully spacious retreat with fitted wardrobes, a feature exposed brick fireplace whilst a second bedroom has an ensuite shower room and provides flexibility for visiting guests, a home office or hobby room. The beautifully appointed bathroom completes the accommodation.

One of Red House's greatest attractions is the setting itself. Residents enjoy beautifully maintained communal grounds, with this apartment benefiting from its own direct access onto the lawns, allowing you to step straight outside and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Mature trees frame the gardens, creating a wonderfully private environment that changes beautifully with the seasons.

Practicality is equally well considered, with the apartment benefiting from its own garage, additional unallocated residents' parking, and the reassurance of a share of the freehold.

Whether you're searching for an elegant permanent home surrounded by countryside, looking to downsize without compromising on space or character, or seeking a secure lock-up-and-leave base from which to enjoy Sussex, Red House offers a lifestyle that is becoming increasingly difficult to find. Grand architecture, generous accommodation and one of the county's most picturesque settings combine to create a truly special home.
