Ditchling property one of Henry VIII's wives 'lived in'

Wings Place, in West Street, Ditchling, is being sold for £2.25 million.

The Grade I listed property has five bedrooms and offers “exceptional” views over the South Downs and a “striking” listed church called St Margaret’s which dates from the 11th century.

Sometimes referred to as Anne Of Cleves House, some historians believe the house forms part of the manor complex granted to Anne after her separation from Henry VIII.

This Tudor house is spread over 4,200 sq ft, with a number of living spaces.

The large garden even has a stream meandering through it.

With vaulted ceilings, the large modern kitchen has mullioned windows which frame the viewings of the south-facing terrace and garden.

Alongside the central formal dining room, there is a cosy sitting room, both of which have fireplaces.

These rooms are complete with original floorboards and period timber beams.

If that wasn’t enough, there is also a drawing room with stone mullioned and leaded windows.

Next to the drawing room is a panelled library with a carved Tudor Rose above the doorway. The library opens onto the terrace through a stone porch.

From the hall, an oak staircase takes you to the first-floor landing. The fifth bedroom, which could also be used as a study, faces the large garden and connects to the master bedroom.

Complete with a fireplace, dressing room and en suite with modern fittings, the bedroom is fit for a king.

The cellar has a storage room with utilities and a wine cellar.

The top floor is home to a guest suite, with a bedroom, wardrobes and a separate bathroom with a walk-in shower.

Directly behind the house is a large stone terrace which is elevated above the rest of the garden and has views of the mature trees and vibrant flowers below.

The terrace leads to a formal garden with paved pathways and borders full of flowers.

As a Band H property for council tax, the yearly bill to Lewes District Council is a massive £4,678.
