3 bed country house for sale

Mary Ann Lane, Gilberts Drive, East Dean, East Sussex BN20

A beautifully presented and luxuriously equipped detached house of recent construction and unusually generous proportions enviably located within a scenic downland village location

Commanding glorious southerly views over the village cricket field to the downs and toward the sea at Belle Tout, this delightful property was constructed in recent years to a fine specification with flint finished elevations and classical Georgian styling. The accommodation has been significantly improved since its original construction and only an internal inspection will convey its high merit. Early vacant possession might be available.

Adjacent to the scenic cricket ground and with direct access to the beautiful countryside of the South Downs National Park, Mary Ann Lane sits at the south edge of the picturesque and old world village of East Dean. The sea at Birling Gap is only a short distance away and there are local shopping facilities in East Dean as well as the ancient Tiger Inn and picturesque parish church. The principal shopping facilities are at Eastbourne which is only about 4 miles distant together with theatres, one of the finest Victorian seafronts on the south coast and mainline rail services to London Victoria and to Gatwick. There is world class opera at nearby Glyndebourne and Channel ferries from Newhaven.

The property is approached from the bridal path at the front or by vehicular access at the rear.
