Fairview forms a beautifully extended family home, with the extension works carried out around 2016, adding 50% to the footprint and revising the internal layout, adding a modernised heating system and a new kitchen in 2018. The extension provided a large sitting room and study downstairs, with a new master bedroom and en-suite shower room upstairs. The accommodation now provides a flexible layout, with four double bedrooms, the sitting room, dining/family room, open plan kitchen/breakfast room, study and utility/boot room. There are also lovely views across the Rother Valley to the south from the first floor.

One enters via the front door to the hallway, with stairs to the first floor and doors to the kitchen and dining room. The kitchen was updated with bespoke Ruach fittings in 2018, with a popular two tone array of cupboards and drawers with a central island and breakfast bar all with white Silestone worktops, integrated dishwasher, sink and space for a free standing fridge/freezer and range cooker, an under stairs larder cupboard, windows to rear and a bay window to the front of the breakfast room. A door leads into the dining room/family room, with a window to front and access to the hall, and a further door to the sitting room. There is also an internal window to the study.

The sitting room is a grand, elegant room, with a bay window to front and windows and French doors to the rear garden. There is a working fireplace with a wood burner installed and an oak bressumer. A door leads into the study, which faces the garden. Off the kitchen a further door leads to a cloakroom, comprising a WC, and a utility room/boot room. The boot room leads into the utility area, with a further fridge/freezer, space for a washing machine, tumble dryer, butler sink and a door to the rear garden.

The first floor provides an open landing with a window to rear and a door to the airing cupboard and loft hatch to a partially boarded loft space with a pull down ladder and light. The master bedroom is dual aspect room with windows to front and rear, a door to a walk-in wardrobe and a further door to an en-suite shower room, comprising a shower, WC and basin, with a window to the side, heated towel rail, part tiled walls and floor. There are three further double bedrooms, two facing the front, and one facing the rear, two with fitted ‘Sharpe’s’ wardrobes.

The house is situated within striking distance of fabulous country walks, and nigh-on opposite the village playing fields. There is ample off-road parking at the front, plus a log store and an area of lawn with the in-ground LPG tank for the central heating, hedge to front and flower beds by the front door. A gate leads to a side path, with space for further bike stores. The rear garden is arranged as three distinct areas. Across the rear of the house is a paved patio and seating area, with raised beds and steps down to the lawn. There are further flower beds around the house and down either side of the lawns. At the far end of the lawns are various fruit trees and a beech hedge, with a vegetable patch, shed and greenhouse beyond.
