6 bed detached house for sale

Kiln Close, Hellingly, Hailsham BN27

AP Estate Agents are proud to present this wonderful chain‐free family home, set within an individual close of just three properties off The Drive in Hellingly. This impressive home immediately stands out with its striking architectural design, featuring a central timber‐clad dormer with a large landing window, half tile‐hung elevations and a classic mock‐Tudor gable. Set well back from the road, the property is approached via a long private driveway bordered by lawn, mature trees and a high hedge to one side, offering an excellent level of privacy as you arrive.
Inside the property


As you step into the property, you are welcomed by a beautifully presented hallway featuring warm oak flooring and stairs rising to the first floor. An alcove provides an ideal space for shoes and coat storage, and the polished oak doors throughout the ground floor create a luxurious and cohesive finish. A generous cloakroom sits off the hallway, fitted with tiled flooring, a WC and a suspended wash basin with storage both above and below, finished in a smart dark‐wood effect.

The sitting room is an impressive, well‐proportioned space with double glazed doors opening directly onto the garden. A log burner set within a fireplace, complete with tiled hearth and a handsome bressummer beam, forms a striking focal point. The room offers multiple furnishing options and is perfect for both everyday relaxation and entertaining.

Adjacent is the dining room, a bright and spacious area overlooking the front of the property. With ample room for a large table, it is an ideal setting for family meals and hosting guests.

Opposite sits the kitchen, designed with practicality in mind. The fully tiled floor is perfect for busy family life, especially with double doors leading out to the garden. A well‐arranged selection of wall and base units, drawers and cupboards sit beneath luxurious granite worktops with matching upstand. There is an integrated dishwasher, a profiled one‐and‐a‐half bowl stainless steel sink, and a stainless steel range cooker with five‐ring gas hob, twin ovens and extractor above. Space is provided for a freestanding fridge freezer, and a large cupboard offers excellent potential as a fully shelved larder.

Next door, the utility room mirrors the kitchen with matching floor tiles and units. It includes another one‐and‐a‐half bowl sink, wall units above, and plumbing and space for both a washing machine and dryer. The Vaillant boiler is neatly concealed within the run of cupboards. A back door leads out to the garden, and a separate door provides access to the integral garage — a great size with space for a workbench at the far end and an electrically operated door. The ground floor flows exceptionally well and has clearly been designed with family living in mind. The décor is neutral, smart and well presented, offering a home that is ready and waiting for its new owners.
First floor


As you rise to the first floor, the landing immediately creates a sense of space. It feels wonderfully light and airy, and turning the corner reveals a striking vaulted roofline and an impressive feature window that delivers a genuine wow moment while flooding the entire area with natural light. The principal bedroom is the first room off the landing — a superbly sized double overlooking the rear garden. The floor space can be kept beautifully clear thanks to the generous dressing area tucked around the corner, complete with an extensive range of built‐in storage. The en‐suite is a stylishly finished wet room, fully tiled and fitted with a drenching shower and separate hand‐held attachment, suspended wash basin with drawer beneath, chrome heated towel rail and close‐coupled WC. Bedrooms two, three and four on this level are all comfortable doubles, one of which is currently arranged as a study, demonstrating just how versatile the accommodation can be. The front bedroom benefits from a good‐sized built‐in cupboard, and off the landing is an airing cupboard housing the pressurised tank system.
Second floor


The top floor provides wonderfully versatile accommodation, effectively offering two generous double bedrooms, each with Velux windows and useful eaves storage. The rooms are very similar in size, and the current layout — with one bedroom arranged as an additional sitting room — demonstrates just how adaptable this level can be, making it ideal for teenagers, guests, hobbies or even a private retreat entirely separate from the rest of the home. Positioned between the two rooms is a well‐appointed shower room, featuring tiled flooring, a large shower cubicle with a drenching head and separate hand‐held attachment, Velux window, low‐level WC and modern tiling. This floor can be used as a self‐contained suite if desired, adding to the impressive flexibility of the overall accommodation.
Outside


The property is set well back from The Drive, approached via a shared entrance that serves just three neighbouring homes within this private close. From here, the driveway becomes exclusively owned by the property, leading onto a generous brick‐paved parking area with space for several vehicles. Mature trees, shrubs and a tall established hedge line one side, creating a pleasant sense of privacy as you arrive. From the driveway, there is direct access to the integral garage, along with a pathway that runs down the side of the house to the rear garden. The rear garden is laid to lawn and enclosed by a combination of fencing and hedging, providing a natural and attractive boundary.
Location


Kiln Close enjoys a peaceful position within Hellingly, a historic village on the northern edge of Hailsham. Hellingly itself dates back centuries and is best known for its beautiful parish church, set on a rare circular churchyard, and for the former Hellingly Hospital — once a grand Edwardian hospital, now thoughtfully redeveloped into modern homes that blend sympathetically with the surrounding countryside. The village is wrapped in open fields, woodland and quiet lanes, offering a semi‐rural lifestyle while remaining close to everyday amenities.

One of the area’s most loved features is the Cuckoo Trail, a 14‐mile scenic route running from Heathfield to Eastbourne. It passes close by Hellingly and provides miles of safe walking, cycling and running paths, making it a favourite for families, dog walkers and anyone who enjoys the outdoors. Kiln Close benefits from this easy access to nature while still being only a short distance from Hailsham, which is approximately two miles away.

Hailsham offers a wide range of shops and services, including supermarkets, cafés, independent retailers, a leisure centre, dentists, opticians and the well‐regarded Hailsham Health Centre. Everyday conveniences are close at hand, and for young families, Bunny Run Daycare Nursery is just a three‐minute walk from Kiln Close, making the location particularly appealing.

Local schooling is excellent, with Hawkes Farm Academy, Burfield Academy, Hellingly Primary School, and Hailsham Community College (secondary and sixth form) all within easy reach. These schools are well regarded and serve the wider Hailsham and Hellingly communities.

Despite its peaceful setting, Kiln Close is well connected. Eastbourne lies around eight miles to the south, Hastings approximately seventeen miles to the east, and Brighton about twenty‐two miles away along the coast. Gatwick Airport is roughly thirty‐four miles from the property, making national and international travel straightforward. For commuters, the nearest mainline stations are Polegate, around four miles away, offering direct services to London Victoria, Brighton, Lewes and Eastbourne, and Berwick, approximately six miles away, ideal for Brighton, Lewes and London connections.
