Barcombe is a small Sussex village that punches well above its weight. With one of the top-performing primary schools in the county (Ofsted rated Outstanding) and a thriving local community, it’s a truly delightful place to call home. Lying at the foot of the South Downs National Park, it’s very much a rural getaway but remains well connected to the county town of Lewes, to Brighton and to London (ideal, perhaps, for occasional commuters). Excellent primary and secondary schooling options include Chailey, Lewes Priory, Brighton College, Roedean and Bede’s, all which offer bus pickups on or near the doorstep.
Located in the heart of the village, within a minute’s walk from the village shop and pub, this property possesses all the charm and practical necessities you could ask for. Large entertaining spaces, both indoors and out make this an instantly-liveable family home. All rooms are of a good size and recently decorated.
Terraces wrap around the south and west of the house, offering sunny al fresco dining throughout the day. The garden is mostly laid to lawn, with a number of well-established flowering beds. (A ride-on mower will be included as part of the rental). At the far end of the garden, shielded by a yew hedge is a children’s play area and wildflower garden. A secret gate leads out to the village playground, recreation ground and tennis club. Numerous footpaths and bridleways spread out from here across the surrounding countryside. Boating is available on the River Ouse at Barcombe Mills or upstream at the Anchor pub, both within easy walking distance. Strava bears witness to the number of excellent running and cycling routes throughout the area.
Available from mid-August (subject to conditions), furnished or part-furnished to suit. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch for further information.
