Description

Situated at the end of a private no through road in the pretty village of Bolney, Pine End House is an attractive modern home built in 1989. It was substantially extended in 2006 and further improved by the current owner, to now offer wonderfully spacious and contemporary interiors extending to approximately 3,678 sq ft.

The layout has been carefully designed so that the main reception rooms and the majority of bedrooms lie on the southern side of the house, enjoying views over the garden and to the South Downs beyond. High quality materials and finishes are evident throughout, including bespoke joinery, elegantly styled bathroom suites, some with Villeroy & Boch fittings, and light oak flooring across much of the ground floor.

The rear of the property has been transformed to create a stunning kitchen/breakfast and family room. This relaxed and sociable space features roof lanterns that flood the interior with natural light, and wide bifold doors opening onto a south facing terrace, creating a seamless flow between inside and out. A contemporary island breakfast bar sits at the heart of the room, complemented by Bosch appliances including an induction hob, conventional oven and microwave, and an excellent range of wall hung and undercounter cabinets.

Internal doors open directly from the family room to the dining room, providing an exceptional setting for entertaining. Further reception spaces include a sitting room featuring a brick fireplace with a Stovax woodburner, a study, and an entrance hall incorporating a versatile reception area, currently used as a studio. A cloakroom with Fired Earth tiling completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, the bedrooms lie off a generous part galleried landing which opens out to create a study area or yoga nook. The dual aspect principal suite occupies the western end of the floor, and includes a dressing area with fitted wardrobes, and an en suite shower room with a walk in rainshower.

The guest bedroom also enjoys its own en suite shower, while the remaining three bedrooms are served by a spacious family bathroom with separate bath and shower. Bedroom five would be ideal as a games room, or further reception space if desired.

Upstairs, the bedrooms lie off a generous part galleried landing which opens out to create a study area or yoga nook.

Outside, the house is set behind a tall hedge, with a large carport on the eastern side providing sheltered parking for several vehicles.

An elevated terrace spans the rear elevation, giving a wonderful space for entertaining and enjoying the far-reaching views to the South Downs. The remainder of the gardens are mainly laid to lawn, with a timber shed for garden storage.

In all, the grounds extend to about 0.48 acres.
