Full Description: <p>Guide price £500,000 - £550,000.

At the front, a wonderfully generous sitting and dining room forms the heart of the home. A wide bay window draws in plenty of natural light from its southerly aspect, while a fireplace creates a natural focal point and there is ample room to create separate areas for relaxing and dining. </p><p>The separate kitchen has been thoughtfully refitted with clean-lined cabinetry, granite work surfaces and a comprehensive range of integrated Neff appliances. A door leads directly outside, making the garden feel easily connected to everyday life. </p><p>Both bedrooms are comfortable doubles overlooking the rear garden, with fitted wardrobes providing useful storage. A modern shower room sits alongside a separate cloakroom, while a large loft offers further storage overhead. </p><p>Outside is where the setting really comes into its own. The home occupies one of the larger plots in the close, with gardens to both the front and rear. The rear garden combines a substantial lawn with a sandstone terrace, creating plenty of space for summer lunches, entertaining, gardening or simply enjoying the peace and privacy. </p><p>To the front, a generous driveway provides parking for two cars and leads to the garage, which has power, lighting and its own door into the rear garden.

Sitting within the Cuckmere Valley and the South Downs National Park, it is surrounded by some of Sussex's most beautiful countryside, with miles of walking routes and open downland almost immediately accessible from the village. </p><p>At its centre is Alfriston's historic High Street, home to a collection of independent shops, cafés, traditional pubs and places to eat. The Star and the Alfriston Hotel & Spa are among the village's better-known destinations, while the surrounding landscape makes this an equally appealing place for those who simply want to spend more time outdoors. The centre of Alfriston is within easy walking distance, via a footpath adjacent to the house.</p><p>The coast is approximately four miles to the south, opening up easy access to the beaches, coastal walks and villages of this particularly beautiful stretch of East Sussex. Lewes and Eastbourne are both approximately nine miles away, providing a wider choice of shops, restaurants and everyday amenities. </p><p><strong>Transport Links</strong> </p><p>Despite its rural setting, Alfriston remains well connected to the surrounding towns and further afield. Berwick railway station provides mainline services towards London Victoria and Gatwick Airport, while Lewes and Eastbourne are both within straightforward driving distance. </p><p>For day-to-day life, the village itself is wonderfully walkable, with the High Street and surrounding countryside both within easy reach of Smugglers Close. </p>
