Occupying a prominent wing of the first floor, the principal suite is a masterclass in boutique luxury. The main bedroom features subtle wall panelling, soft neutral hues, integrated overhead lighting, and twin sash windows flooding the space with light. Oak doors open into a dedicated walk-in dressing room fitted with extensive floor to ceiling custom wardrobes, mirror fronted doors, built in shelving, and an integrated dressing vanity area. Continuing into the private en-suite shower room, you are greeted by large format stone tiling, a walk-in rainfall shower, a suspended vanity unit with an illuminated mirror cabinet, and sleek chrome fittings.

Bedroom three is a beautifully proportioned double bedroom featuring twin sash windows framing elevated views over the surrounding landscape, styled in a gentle neutral palette.
Bedroom four offers high versatility, currently arranged as a nursery with tailored window blinds, making it ideal for a young child’s room or a second home study. Servicing bedrooms three and four, the main family bathroom exudes traditional charm paired with contemporary comfort, featuring half height tongue and groove wall panelling, a classic white vanity basin unit, a low-level WC, herringbone flooring, and a deep tiled bath with a glass screen and overhead rainfall shower. Relax and rejuvinate
Step outside Positioned on a substantial private plot enclosed by original brick walling, mature trees, and established hedgerows, the grounds of White Gables have been crafted to create an outdoor retreat. Extending across the full width of the rear elevation, a slate terrace creates an outdoor entertaining hub designed for alfresco dining. It features a built-in outdoor kitchen complete with stainless steel cabinetry, an integrated gas grill, pizza oven, a wood-fired grill with log storage, and an outdoor sink, all set against black safety balustrades overlooking the gardens. Multiple seating areas offer room for lounge furniture and a large dining table. Tucked along the side of the grounds is a kitchen garden where timber raised flowerbeds filled with vibrant blooms surround a Victorian-style glasshouse with decorative ridge cresting, providing a sanctuary for fruit, vegetable, and plant cultivation. Below the elevated terrace, wide steps descend to an expanse of manicured lawn framed by mature trees, including a copper beech and oak trees. The plot broadens as it extends outwards, offering privacy, sun exposure throughout the day, and open vistas across the surrounding Sussex countryside. To the front, a brick paved driveway provides off-street parking for multiple vehicles alongside a detached double garage.
