Welcome Home...

Are you looking for a period home in the heart of one of Sussex s most quintessential villages, offering the perfect village lifestyle with beautiful countryside, cracking pubs, reputable school and thriving community? If so, Smyrna on Chapel Lane could be just the one you have been waiting for.

This delightful Victorian semi-detached home sits in the Horsted Keynes conservation area and offers an appealing fa?ade that makes these homes so desirable, with a double height bay fronted front elevation that lures you in. The home has been extended to the side, rear and into the loft space and now offers fabulous living space that is perfect for both family living and entertaining. There is the perfect mix of retained Victorian character & charm, coupled with contemporary high spec touches.

The real show-stopper is, without doubt, the exceptional kitchen that was created as a result of an extension in 2020. The sleek, stylish finish oozes quality with stone worktops, handless grey units and subway style tiled splashback. Natural light pours in through the two large velux windows and the wow-factor corner bi-folds push open to completely blur the division between the outside and the inside. Whilst this space is very contemporary, there are nods to the original age of the house with exposed brickwork and the large, original sash window.

There is also a cleverly created store area great as a pantry.

Back in the original part of the home the space has been opened up to create a spacious through space that is perfect for entertaining, with clear areas for sitting and dining. The sitting area is classic in its style, with bay window and lovely vista over the front garden. The log burner provides the natural focal point and is perfect on a chilly winter s evening.

A small, but incredibly handy side extension has created a useful entrance hall for shoes & coats and a modern cloakroom.

On the first floor you have two of the three double bedrooms. The main bedroom is a delightful dual aspect double that extends across the entire front of the house. The bay window looks out over the village cricket pitch, there are extensive fitted wardrobes running the full length of the room and there is a feature fireplace reminding us of the homes heritage.

The third bedroom is also on this level, also has a dual aspect and overlooks the garden.

Each bedroom is served by the incredibly spacious family bathroom with bath and separate shower cubicle.

The second floor comprises entirely of a spacious double bedroom, with two skylight windows and the most delightful views in both directions. The rear window in particular has rooftop views over the village towards the Sussex Weald.

The house is heated via oil fired central heating and there is a superfast broadband connection available.

Step Outside...

Stepping outside, you have a delightful garden that has been landscaped with a large wrap around patio that enjoys a westerly aspect and is the perfect spot for some al-fresco dining or a glass of something chilled on a balmy summer s evening.

The level lawn is ideal for children to play and there is gated side access that leads through to the long, leafy front garden.

Plenty of parking...

A separate area of hardstanding provides driveway parking for three cars.
