3 DESCRIPTION Set in the heart of Ditchling in mature established gardens, Paddock View is a substantial family home, the original part of which dates from the 1930s. The house has been the subject of various sympathetic modern extensions including significant additions to the south and north sides in 2006, and a stunning rear extension in The result is a superbly appointed and stylishly-presented home, offering a generous 5,617 square feet of living accommodation over two floors. The property is ideal for both family life and entertaining alike: being spacious, light and with an excellent flow between the main living rooms owing to the generous central reception hall, wide double/folding doors between many of the rooms, and the considered use of both internal and external glazing. Contemporary touches include recently refitted bathrooms with stunning luxury suites, wet-room style tiled showers and under floor heating, and a zone-controlled integral music system with ceiling speakers. Handsome oak double doors open to the welcoming reception hall, a superb room which has as its focal point an attractive brick inglenook fireplace with inset woodburner. A solid wood turned staircase rises to the first floor and there is a cosy snug area with bookshelving; also lying off the hall is a comfortable sitting room, a utility room and a cloakroom with separate WC. Folding doors open from the hall to the kitchen which has ample space for a large breakfast table and is fitted with a range of grey-painted wooden units and a central island, complemented by part granite/part woodblock worktops, a Rangemaster oven and a number of integrated appliances. French doors open to the terrace and folding doors open to the adjoining room, a versatile space which could be used as a family room or for formal dining. The ground floor accommodation is completed by two further reception rooms: an elegant vaulted drawing room overlooking the gardens, and an excellent games room. The staircase from the hall rises to a stunning galleried landing and seating area on the first floor, which is flooded with light by way of an expanse of windows framing the view to the garden. There are five bedrooms (one of which is currently used as a study), including a superb master suite comprising a bedroom with private balcony overlooking the garden, a beautifully appointed bathroom with roll-top bath and a well-fitted dressing room. 2 also has an en suite bathroom; the remaining bedrooms are served by a family bathroom. OUTSIDE Paddock View is set in an elevated position, approached from North End by a sloping driveway which rises up to a large parking area ahead of the house, in turn giving to both the integral and detached double garages; the single garage is ed directly from North End. The house is set back from the road, well screened by mature trees and rhododendrons which create a secret garden to the front of the house. The mature and well-established rear garden is of particular note, being private and well enclosed by flower and shrub beds and fencing. A stone terrace spans the rear (western) elevation of the house offering a number of sunny spots for dining al fresco. Beyond the terrace the garden is largely laid to lawn, sloping gently up to the western boundary; a gravel pathway leads to the fence-enclosed all weather tennis court which is tucked away in the south-western corner. In all, about 0.8 of an acre.
