Brook Furlong, Sloe Lane, Alfriston, BN26 5UU

One of the finest detached period houses and loveliest of gardens in the enchanting downland village of Alfriston.

Substantially and tastefully restored during recent years the classically proportioned accommodation and the fine south facing elevation highlights the property's Georgian character.

The house is listed Grade II and most of the principal rooms command views over the beautifully landscaped and extensively lawned gardens and secure an unusually large degree of natural light for a period property.

Only an internal inspection will convey the exceptionally high merit and elegance of this very special property.

Delightfully tucked away and apart from the bustle of the charming old world village high street Brook Furlong sits within its private and lovely gardens within only a few hundred yards of the facilities of the village.

Alfriston is surrounded by the scenic downland countryside of the South Downs National Park which offers wonderful recreational opportunity and also benefits from a range of fine restaurants including the renowned Star Inn, boutique shops, and the ancient parish church of St Andrew's.

The sea is nearby at Exceat and there are excellent shopping facilities at nearby Eastbourne about 9 miles distant.

There are rail services to London Victoria and to Gatwick from Eastbourne and from Berwick Station which is nearby. There is world class opera at Glyndebourne and channel ferries are from Newhaven.
