A well proportioned detached period house situated in a central location with wrap around gardens, detached garage and parking

Ditchling, with its beautiful views of the South Downs, is a historic village playing host to a selection of local shops, cafés, a church, and two public houses including The Bull, an award-winning gastro pub. The larger village of Hassocks, with its mainline train station, is a short drive away and provides regular rail services to London and a more comprehensive array of shops. The local area benefits from a range of outstanding state and private schools for all ages.

Situated on a private road, along an enviable lane close to the centre of the village ‘Lea Court’ is a wonderful, detached house that has been extended over the years creating balanced accommodation over two floors. The ground floor focuses around a central kitchen/dining room with a large open fireplace and utility room offering further space for appliances. The two reception rooms include a family room and large sitting room, both with doors out to the gardens. Two staircases lead to the first floor where four double bedrooms are arranged serviced by a bathroom and separate shower room. The gardens wrap around the property on all sides comprising a selection of landscaped areas softened by well stocked shrub and plant beds and scattered trees. Paved terraced areas adjoin the house on two sides, one covered by a large timber pergola. There is parking for a couple cars in front of the property and a five bar gate allows access to the driveway and large timber garage.
