This attractive and refitted cottage, re-roofed and chimneys repointed in June 2024, boasts a delightful secluded west facing rear garden with a large studio/workshop ideal for someone requiring a home office.
Situated within a moments walk of bridleways and countryside, including 188 acres of Ditchling Common Nature Reserve and the Ridgeview Wine Estate. Burgess Hill town centre and mainline station are 1.3 miles away.
The accommodation includes an arched entrance porch with half glazed door into large entrance hall with flagstone flooring, door to rear garden, wood burning stove and stairs to first floor. This area could easily be used as a study or dining area.

The sitting room is double aspect and has a wooden floor, exposed ceiling timbers. The ground floor shower/utility room has been refitted with fully tiled shower cubicle having power shower, vanity unit and tiled flooring.
Crafted oak staircase leads to the landing area, there are 2 double bedrooms and a child’s room/study. Bedroom 2 has low level storage cupboards and a hatch to loft space. The bathroom is ‘Jack and Jill’ style between the master bedroom and child’s room.
Outside, the property is accessed via a shared gravelled driveway to a courtyard area (mainly owned by Crank Barn) with 2 parking spaces and timber built garage (left hand one) with up and over door. The west facing 97’ x 80’ rear garden is a particular feature, being well screened by an abundance of mature trees, shrubs, hedging and fruit trees, backing onto adjoining farmland.
