A STRIKING EDWARDIAN FAMILY HOME, NESTLED UNDER THE SOUTH DOWNS IN BERWICK, EAST SUSSEX.
THE PROPERTY
Gatehampton is an elegant family house set in the centre of its own plot in just under half an acre of garden. The accommodation is perfectly laid out for both formal entertaining and family life, with classic architectural features including beautiful, proportioned rooms, carved fireplace surrounds, high ceilings, deep skirting boards and decorative plasterwork. The large windows and full height French doors offer wonderful light and views across the private gardens. Gatehampton is approached under an elegant verandah to the front door leading into a very generous central hallway and staircase. Off the hall are three reception rooms all with working fireplaces and a well appointed kitchen. There is a rear entrance hall leading through to a large studio room/fourth bedroom, offering direct access to the garden. A downstairs cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation. On the first floor there are three well-proportioned double bedrooms, the principal bedroom has a large range of fitted wardrobes and an ensuite bathroom. There is also a separate cloakroom and a large family bathroom. The property is well screened and protected from the road by a high hedge and is approached down a gravel driveway leading towards the double garages. The gardens offer beautiful views to the west and south and the surrounding countryside. The pretty historic village of Berwick provides a shop/post office, primary school, village hall and church. For those needing access to London, Berwick Station is a few minutes walk away. The historic county town of Lewes is about 10 miles away and provides an extensive range of restaurants, shops and recreational facilities together with two supermarkets. The surrounding countryside provides delightful scenic walks and numerous bridle paths. There is an excellent selection of preparatory and public schools, including Eastbourne College, Brighton College, Cumnor House, Great Walstead and Ardingly. There are numerous golf courses in the area including Piltdown, Royal Ashdown and the East Sussex National.
