This beautiful characterful cottage is presented to the market by Kris Townsend, our prime residential Mid Sussex specialist and Hassocks resident. Don't miss the opportunity to explore this picturesque home and be sure to watch our walk through video!
This delightful cottage has been thoughtfully extended by the current owners to create a wonderful light kitchen dining space overlooking the beautifully kept wrap around garden.
The property itself occupies a secluded location next to the charming architecture of St Cosmas and St Damian church adding to its authentic village feel. Packed full of character and original features, it has to be seen to fully appreciate.
Upon entering the flower covered door way, you are greeted immediately with a tasteful lobby area with tiled floors. The lounge area is just as impressive, a cosy inviting space complimented by an inglenook fire place and wood burning fire and archway to the kitchen.
This theme is continued through to the large kitchen diner, extended by the current owners 10 years ago, which floods the area with natural light and with the addition of more wood beams, blends this space seamlessly into the original building. Stunning views of the well kept garden are there to enjoy from each window.
The grounds are private and full of surprises, accessible from both sides of the property. A charming summer house offers storage or somewhere to relax and enjoy the view of the well established plants and flowers lovingly cared for by the current owners. Around the side is a charming walkway taking us to a green house and finally the off road parking area.
On the side of the property is a garage which, subject to normal planning consents, could be removed to extend the property.
Back inside, the ground floor is further complimented by a spacious bathroom including separate bath and shower.
The second bedroom is also on the ground floor, large enough for a double bed or ideal as an office space with double doors opening into the garden.
Upstairs we have the primary bedroom- with a surprise! inside two sliding doors reveals a large additional space in the eves, currently used as a office with beautiful views of the church, and subject to planning permission, could be registered as another bedroom.
This fantastic cottage offers a unique combination of character, charm, potential and most importantly the opportunity to enjoy the quintessential Sussex village life whilst being only minutes from the seaside and the culture of Brighton and Hove. Ideal for commuters, London is less than an hour away from the local main line train station.
