Impressive detached family house with beautiful landscaped gardens and outdoor swimming pool.
Description
Believed to date from the 1930s with later additions, 7 Dyke Close is an impressive detached family house, situated at the end of no-through road.
The property is extremely well-appointed, with bay windows, high ceilings and generously proportioned rooms, and is characterised by polished wood panelling, doors and architraves to the ground floor. Number 7 has been in the same family for over 40 years, and has clearly been a much-loved and well-tended family home, offering comfortable and spacious accommodation presented in excellent order and extending to almost 4,000 sq ft plus outbuildings.
The floorplans give an excellent overview of the full layout and extent of the property, and should be referred to as a guide. Lying off the grand oak panelled reception hall are two formal reception rooms, both with an attractive outlook over the landscaped rear gardens; the dual aspect sitting room is over 37 ft and has a fireplace set with a gas fire and a door to the rear garden. The dining room has a bay window. The less formal snug/TV room lies to the front of the house, and gives access to the study, which has a WC. An additional cloakroom lies off the entrance hall.
The open plan kitchen/breakfast room has an impressive picture window with a view of the pool. The kitchen is very well-equipped with oak Poggenpohl units and composite surfaces, and fitted with Neff appliances; the breakfast area has recently been recarpeted and has plenty of space for table and chairs. It is served by a utility room.
From the breakfast room, the rear hall leads to the sauna, pool changing room/shower, a separate WC and the sun room. These rooms have direct access to the outdoor pool area.
The beautiful turned staircase with oak balustrade rises to the first floor, and an impressive galleried landing. The principal bedroom has recently been refitted with wardrobes and a contemporary en suite shower complete with walk-in shower and pair of basins. There are five further bedrooms (one currently used as an office) served by a family bathroom. Bedrooms one, three and five enjoy far-reaching views to the sea.
Number 7 is approached via a lych gate, which opens to a path leading to the front door, with side access to the rear garden. The attached garaging is accessed via an electronically operated up and over door, with a passage to the side leading to the workshop area at the rear of the garaging. A short drive offers off street parking,
The landscaped rear gardens are a particularly fine feature of the property, being laid out on two levels; the outdoor swimming pool is sited on the top level, enjoying views to the south, and has a paved surround with plenty of space for sun loungers. A detached pool house/machinery store and garden storage beyond. To the side of the sun room is an electronically operated awning, creating a superb spot for eating al fresco.
Steps lead down to a wedge-shaped expanse of lawn, bordered by well-stocked mature beds planted with an array of shrubs and lit at strategic points. There is a timber shed providing storage, a water irrigation system to the borders in the bottom section of the garden, and power cabling throughout the plot, which extends in all to about 0.41 of an acre.
Location
Situated in a wonderful position with southerly views on a no through road lying off Dyke Road Avenue. Dyke Road Avenue gives access to the A23, the A27 and the many and varied amenities that this thriving city offers. The sea front, The Laines and main shopping centre are about two miles distant and served by public transport; more locally, there is a parade of shops which provides for day to day needs.

There are miles of footpaths and bridleways across the nearby South Downs National Park. Spa and country house hotels in the area include Ockenden Manor, Alexander House and South Lodge.
