In the heart of the South Downs National Park

Over two floors, our modern spacious, 3/4 bedroom open plan, detached home is in the heart of the South Downs National Park, in the medieval village of Alfriston.

There are 2 double bedrooms, one with a small en suite, and another with a single bed and a tuck away underneath that pulls out, more suitable for a child. There is also a downstairs study with a sofa/bed.

We have a main family bathroom with a walk in shower and bath, and a small en suite shower room upstairs, and a toilet with washbasin on the ground floor.

The living room and kitchen both look out and open onto the garden, with tables and chairs for outdoor eating.

About the location

Alfriston is a beautiful, historic village between Brighton and Eastbourne on the South Coast of England; 3 miles from the coastal town of Seaford with shops and a pebble beach where you can swim; 7 miles from the vibrant market town of Lewes with its Norman Castle, cobbled streets and wide range of independent shops, cafes, cinema etc. Brighton is about 10 miles away and has absolutely everything, but it`s not peaceful and quiet like Alfriston! There`s music, theatre, seaside/pier, shopping, Brighton Pavilion, museums and more.

Alfriston has a population of around 850. There`s a village store where you can get most things you need and cafes, pubs, shops, restaurants and hotels all within walking distance.

The South Downs Way runs right through the village, at the end of our road, from Eastbourne and Winchester, making this the perfect place for walkers. And Cuckmere Haven is a great place for water sports and bike hire.

The village has a regular, if infrequent bus services during the day time to Lewes, Eastbourne and Seaford where you can get trains to Brighton or London, but we tend to drive and park at the station for greater flexibility.
