A well presented extended three double bedroom detached family home spanning over 1,310 and located in the desirable village of Newick. The property is located on a quiet road and comprises in brief: three double bedrooms, family bathroom, separate shower room with WC, upstairs study/playroom/snug or small bedroom 4, double aspect living / dining room, fully fitted kitchen with dining / family area, part converted garage providing an office and utility room and storage at the front, driveway providing off road parking for two to three vehicles, and private rear garden with sun trap terrace area.


The House

This well-proportioned and extended family home offers a thoughtful layout with flexible accommodation spread over two floors, enhanced by tasteful presentation and practical design touches throughout.

Upon entering the property through a charming, covered entrance porch, you are welcomed into a bright hallway with access to the main living spaces and a handy downstairs cloakroom, ideal for guests.

To the left lies the impressive double aspect living and dining room (21'11" x 12'6" max), a spacious open-plan area flooded with natural light from both a front-facing bay window and large rear windows and doors opening out onto the garden. This space comfortably accommodates dining furniture as well as living room furniture, making it perfect for both relaxing and entertaining. The room is well-proportioned and benefits from neutral colours, allowing for personalisation and offers flexibility in layout.

To the rear of the property is the kitchen and dining/family area, thoughtfully extended to create a practical and sociable zone. The kitchen (10'2" x 9'11") is fully fitted with a range of units and work surfaces, with space for freestanding appliances. There is a door leading directly onto the rear garden making it ideal for summer dining and outdoor entertaining. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining/family room (12'9" x 8'9"), which allows space for a large dining room table and chairs or perhaps a sofa and coffee table if a family room is desired.

Upstairs, the property continues to impress with three genuine double bedrooms. Bedroom 1 (12'9" x 10'2") is a spacious principal room at the rear of the house, offering a peaceful outlook over the garden and a bank of built in wardrobes providing excellent bedroom storage. Bedroom 2 (12' x 10'1) is also situated at the back of the house and has a built in double wardrobe. Bedroom 3 (8'10" x 8'10") also comfortably fits a double bed, and also offers a built in double wardrobe.

A family bathroom offers a panelled bath with shower over, WC, and wash hand basin, while an additional shower room with WC provides further convenience – perfect for busy mornings or guest use.

Completing the first floor is a well-utilised study/playroom/snug or small bedroom 4 (7'7" x 5'11"), ideal for a home office, quiet reading nook, or young child’s bedroom. Although compact, it benefits from a window and offers a valuable fourth room option, rarely found in properties of this type.


Outside

Externally, the property is equally appealing. To the front, a neat and low-maintenance front garden, alongside a private driveway which provides off-road parking for two to three vehicles.

The rear garden is a true highlight – private and enclosed, making it safe for children and pets. The garden is mainly laid to lawn with a stone terrace area immediately outside the living/dining room, with space for outside furniture. There is also another terrace at the bottom of the garden which captures the afternoon and evening sun, making this area perfect for al fresco dining and entertaining.

The rear garden also provides access to the partially converted garage, which now offers a highly practical home office and utility room (8' x 7'6"), thoughtfully designed for remote working. The front portion of the garage has been retained for essential storage (8'4" x 8'). There is a side gate from the rear garden which leads to the front garage door and the driveway beyond.

With a wealth of public footpaths and countryside walks radiating in all directions right from the doorstep, this property perfectly combines village charm, family-friendly space, and outdoor lifestyle.


The Area

From the property, the high street of Newick is a short walk. Newick is a wonderful quintessential Sussex village. It has three thriving village pubs - The Crown, The Bull and The Royal Oak. The well renowned Newick Tandoori brings diners from far and wide to dine in the village’s own Indian restaurant and takeaway. The village Cottage Bakery serves fantastic freshly cooked bread in their historic original bread oven on site, and savoury and sweet treats. The Pantry coffee shop offers great coffee and lovely lunches including homemade cakes and savoury bites. The Pantry is a great place to meet friends and family in the day. The village also has two well stocked stores selling most items that you would need. One of these shops doubles up as the village post office. The village even has its own doctors surgery and a Lloyds Pharmacy.

The residents of Newick are a fantastic mix of ages with the village school and pre-school (both rated Outstanding by Ofstead) bringing in young families through to the retired. Even though the village may be small in its number of residents, it packs a huge punch with the amount of clubs and societies that are on offer for all ages. The village hall plays host to many of those clubs and societies meets and social events. The village’s own amateur dramatic society (NADS) also put on its productions at the village hall. The annual Newick Bonfire night is extremely well regarded and thousands of people from all around Sussex flock to this event year on year. The village has strong rugby and cricket teams and as such sport runs through the veins of the village. The sports playing field with its cricket, rugby and football pitches, pavillion and licenced bar and adjacent childrens playgorund is a hive of activity throughout the year as it plays host to many a sporting activity or social event, particularly on a summers Friday evening when the children have cricket lessons and the parents meet to picnic and sip prosecco.

The village is surrounded by incredible countryside and within minutes you are able to walk through this countryside on a variety of different public footpaths. Although it may seem as if Newick is quite remote, it is only 10 -15 minutes drive to the towns of Haywards Heath and Uckfield and 20 minutes to Burgess Hill and Lewes, all of which have mainline train links to London and Brighton each with an array of different shops, restaurants and nightlife.
