Full description

Henry Adams Mid & East Sussex are delighted to introduce this very special residence — a well appointed 2-bedroom flat within the historic Grade II listed Ditton Place. Formerly a single residence built in 1904 the building was used by Canadian Forces in the 2nd World War and more recently as a school before being converted into a collection of apartments.

This stunning home exudes elegance, blending historic charm with modern comfort. In an execptional location within striking distance of the village of Balcombe with it’s station and amenities, this property offers an unparallelled lifestyle opportunity for discerning buyers seeking a refined living experience.

As you approach the building and then step inside, there is a real sense of grandeur that matches the building's heritage. The interior showcases myriad period features, including ornate mouldings, high ceilings, and large sash windows that flood the space with natural light.

Before entering the apartment there is a spacious reception area often used by our vendors in the past for gatherings and welcoming guests. Once inside, the hallway and living area provide stylish spaces for either relaxing and entertaining.

The tasteful décor and premium finishes create an ambience of quality; not least the made-to-measure curtains and blinds, chandeliers, bespoke cabnietry and hardwood flooring which our vendors had fitted during their ownership.

The two bedrooms are peaceful retreats, each offering a serene ambience tailored for rest and rejuvenation. The principle suite, with its plush carpeting, generous wardrobe space, and an en-suite bathroom is a delightful space. The second bedroom is equally enchanting, with a cosy atmosphere that beckons you to unwind in comfort.

One of the standout features of this exceptional property are the stunning views it affords. Overlooking the parkland like grounds that surround the Ditton Place, the outlook over the neighbouring fields and countryside give a feeling of peace and seclusion.

Situated within a sprawling 15-acre estate, this residence offers a rare opportunity to live amidst the tranquillity and splendour of parkland while being just a stone's throw away from urban conveniences. With no onward chain, the property is ready for its new owners to move in and start enjoying the lifestyle it affords.

N.B. The property has a share of the freehold and the remainder of a 999 year lease from March 2010. The agents have been provided with evidence detailing the service charge for the 1st 6 months of 2024 amounting to £2,909.82.

We are advised that much of the furniture may be available by separate negotiation.
