The House...
PSPhomes are delighted to introduce The Reddings - a truly exceptional detached character residence in the heart of Scaynes Hill village. This beautiful home is steeped in history, with original parts of the house dating from the 1750s, with latter additions in the 1900s and then a painstaking & sympathetic extension in 2018. Homes with this attention to detail and clear quality are seldom available.

This stunning home boasts a wealth of character that combines with a stylish high specification to striking effect. The inviting sitting room is part of the original house with exposed beamed ceilings and an exceptional 7ft wide ‘Inglenook’ fireplace that is perfect on a cold winter’s evening. A small extension has been so sympathetically undertaken you’d struggle to realise it wasn’t original. The exceptional open plan kitchen/diner extends to over 28ft and is a great space for entertaining, with bi-fold doors opening on to the garden, allowing the party to spill out on to the terrace. The kitchen itself is bespoke built, has a central island/breakfast bar, exposed brick feature wall and wooden worktops. There is a separate utility room that leads through to the beautiful walk-in wine cellar, whilst there is also a useful boot room, ideal after a muddy dog walk.

The ground floor also has a cloakroom.

A beautiful oak staircase rises to the first floor and epitomises the character of the house. The stunning master bedroom that is private from the other sleeping quarters and forms part of the 2018 extension with a vaulted ceiling providing ‘wow-factor’ first impression. There are two large ‘Velux’ windows (with rain sensors) that bath the room in natural light and full width wardrobes provide ample storage for clothes & shoes. The stylish en-suite shower room has a walk-in shower to complete ‘the master suite’.

There are three further double bedrooms, two of which positioned in the original part of the house and served by the modern family bathroom with overhead shower.

Further attributes include double glazed windows with ‘monkey tail’ handles, gas fired central heating with retro style radiators and immaculately tasteful presentation.

Step Outside...
Outside, the house has so much to offer. The garden, which has been paved & landscaped for ease of maintenance, enjoys a southerly aspect meaning there is sunshine throughout the day. The terrace is the perfect spot for ‘al-fresco’ dining and even has its own brick-built pizza oven! There is also a chicken coop and side access.

A former garage has been converted into ‘ The Reddings Guesthouse’ and is a highly versatile and incredibly useful space for a relative to stay, homeworking or running a business. There is a kitchenette, shower room and two rooms that can be used however you wish.

To the front the superb triple bay garage with solid oak doors, power and lighting. This space is ideal for anyone with a classic car or requiring a large workshop space.

A sweeping gravel driveway provides ample off-road parking and sits behind a gated entrance.
