FOR SALE. Set within Mantell Close, a small and thoughtfully designed luxury development built in 2018 by the highly regarded Thakeham Homes, this attractive modern home offers an exceptional opportunity to enjoy village living in the heart of Newick. Mantell Close is a peaceful, well-kept close that combines contemporary design with a strong sense of community, making it particularly appealing to first-time buyers, young families and those looking to secure a long-term home in a sought-after location. For added reassurance, the property benefits from approximately 3 years remaining on the NHBC Buildmark warranty.
The property is registered as an affordable home and is offered on a shared equity basis at 77% of its full market value, presenting a rare and exciting chance to step onto the property ladder with a significantly reduced mortgage requirement. Importantly, there is no rent to pay on the retained equity with Landspeed Homes Ltd holding the equity by way of a legal charge, making this a straightforward and appealing purchase structure. The eligibility criteria require the buyer to live or work locally, or to have a close family connection to East Sussex. The property cannot be let unless purchased outright, ensuring the development retains its owner-occupier feel. A modest estate charge contributes to the upkeep of Mantell Close, including maintenance of the private children’s playground within the development. This currently stands at £379.70 every 6 months.
Externally, the property enjoys two private allocated off-road parking spaces positioned on a brick-paved driveway to the front, along with additional visitor parking nearby. A bespoke bin store in the rear garden with extra storage space sits neatly, adding both practicality and visual appeal. The development itself feels calm and safe, with communal areas that are well maintained and thoughtfully landscaped, creating an ideal environment for families.
Inside, the home is presented in good decorative order throughout and benefits from laminate flooring laid in September 2024, flowing seamlessly across both the ground and first floors to create a clean, modern feel. The entrance hall provides a welcoming introduction, with stairs rising to the first floor and access to a well-appointed cloakroom fitted with a w.c. and wash hand basin. The kitchen is positioned to the front of the property and is fitted with a range of wall and base units, a built-in electric oven, gas hob, integrated dishwasher, washing machine and fridge freezer. A window to the front allows in plenty of natural light, making this a pleasant and functional space for everyday cooking.
To the rear of the property is the open-plan living and dining area, a generous and versatile room that is not overlooked and enjoys a wonderful sense of privacy. Patio doors open directly onto the rear garden, allowing the space to extend effortlessly outdoors during the warmer months. There is also a useful understairs cupboard providing valuable storage.
Upstairs, the property offers two well-proportioned double bedrooms. The principal bedroom is positioned to the rear and enjoys lovely views across the surrounding countryside, a peaceful outlook that enhances the sense of space and connection to the natural environment. The second bedroom overlooks the front and is equally well sized. The landing includes a cupboard over the stairs, fitted with a small heater to create a practical airing cupboard. The bathroom is finished with a panelled bath with a shower over, a wash hand basin and a w.c., completing the accommodation.
The rear garden is a particular highlight, thoughtfully designed to be both attractive and low maintenance. A small patio area sits immediately outside the house, ideal for morning coffee or evening dining, while the main garden is laid to lawn with well-planted shrub borders. The planting scheme provides a beautiful array of colour from mid-spring onwards, including a fuchsia pink peony bush, apricot rose bush and purple hydrangea, alongside a variety of bulbs and ferns. At the bottom of the garden is a private, lowered terrace area that becomes a true sun trap in the summer, perfect for relaxed seating or barbecues. Feature railings sourced from the Victorian era add a charming and unique focal point, lending character and a sense of history. A side gate leads to shared access back to the front of the property.
