The propertyFlintstones is a beautiful village house which was built in 2006 for the current owners’ occupation. Externally, the property presents attractive brick elevations with mellow tile hung upper elevations. Internally, the house provides beautifully presented and well-arranged accommodation.

From the terrace, wide part glazed doors lead through to the spacious reception hall, which provides a wonderful sense of space and light and has large windows to two sides which take full advantage of the wonderful view. The receptions rooms are ideally arranged for modern living, and the drawing room has a wood burning stove and bifurcating doors which lead out on to the terrace. In addition, there is a sitting/media room and a large study with extensive book shelving.

The kitchen/dining room is a particular feature of the property and has a light stone floor and is fitted with an extensive range of bespoke oak and ash units with two integrated Miele dishwashers and a four oven gas fired Aga.

On the first floor there is a vaulted principal bedroom with an ensuite bathroom and a mezzanine dressing area, a guest suite, three further bedrooms and a further bathroom. Other features within the house include engineered oak floors with underfloor heating, an air ventilation system, solid floors on both the ground and first floors, wooden sealed unit double glazed windows, a turned oak staircase, some exposed brickwork and oak doors.

Gardens and groundsFlintstones is approached from the no-through road via an electrically operated wooden entrance gate, which gives way to the property’s drive leading up to the house. Running the width of the house is a wide stone paved terrace, from which there is a lovely outlook over the property’s grounds with the South Downs beyond. To one side of the terrace there is a hot tub. The garden lies principally to the southern side of the house and has been attractively landscaped over the years with various well-stocked beds.

The drive continues past the house leading to a large brick and tile building, which provides extensive garaging and a large workshop on the ground floor with a large studio/games room above.

Beyond the garden, the land is divided into various field/paddock areas, and the current owners have planted extensive indigenous hedge row plants and trees to create various wildlife habitats throughout the grounds. To the south east of the land, there is an attractive area of mixed woodland which is intersected by various paths. From the garden and grounds there are glorious uninterrupted views to the South Downs.
