£355,000 FREEHOLD

A deceptively spacious five bedroom detached chalet bungalow set within sizeable gardens and affording views to the South Downs.  Understood to have been constructed in the 1920’s, “Mill Lodge” has been significantly extended and now provides exceptional living accommodation including a superb 23’2” max x 18’ drawing room, separate dining room and 19’1” x 14’4” kitchen/breakfast room.  The original character has been enhanced with reclaimed timbers to ceilings and some walls and inglenook style fireplaces.  The property is set within south westerly facing gardens which extend to in excess of 120’ at the rear.  Located on the borders of Willingdon & Polegate, the High Street with mainline railway station is approximately a few hundred yards distant, whilst there is a Tesco Express within 100 yards or so.  An internal inspection is essential to appreciate the merits of this deceptive family home.
