The Broadway, Alfriston, East Sussex BN26

A substantially and tastefully refurbished three-bedroom detached bungalow, occupying a generous garden plot on the edge of Alfriston and commanding glorious views towards the surrounding countryside and South Downs.

The Haven is a spacious detached bungalow occupying a generous plot on the edge of this highly sought-after downland village. The property commands lovely open views from both the front and rear and provides immediate access to the beautiful countryside of the South Downs National Park. The accommodation has recently been substantially and tastefully refurbished, with particular care taken to combine traditional character with high-quality contemporary fittings. Improvements include professionally restored pine flooring, new windows and external doors, Stelrad Vita column radiators and a recently installed Alpha condensing combination boiler with Hive controls.

At the heart of the bungalow is an impressive open-plan living space extending to approximately 28', incorporating sitting, dining and kitchen areas and enjoying a delightful double aspect. The kitchen has been refitted with white gloss cabinetry and specially commissioned 3cm “Delicatus Gold” natural granite worktops and splashbacks. Integrated appliances include an AEG venting induction hob and oven, together with a Bosch dishwasher and concealed waste and recycling bins.

There are three well-proportioned double bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with an attractively refitted en suite shower room. The family bathroom has also been comprehensively remodelled and features a slipper-style roll-top bath, traditional chrome fittings and a painted blue vanity unit with ceramic basin.

The extensive gardens are another outstanding feature. The front garden incorporates a small orchard with plum and cherry trees, while the south-westerly rear garden has been landscaped to provide a series of attractive yet easily maintained areas. These include a natural stone sun terrace with railway-sleeper detailing, wildlife ponds, productive fruit and vegetable beds and a substantial British-built Rhino greenhouse.

The generous plot may also offer potential for enlargement of the existing accommodation, subject to all necessary consents.
