Crossgoats is a substantial and striking detached residence that has been comprehensively remodelled and meticulously renovated to an exceptional standard. Set within approximately 1.2 acres of beautifully secluded grounds, the property blends a wealth of original period features with refined contemporary living, creating a versatile and elegant home ideally suited to modern family life.
The accommodation provides a total footprint of around 4,350 sq ft (excluding voids). The current owners have thoughtfully enhanced the property throughout, with notable improvements, including a beautifully appointed kitchen featuring bespoke cabinetry and elegant Caesarstone quartz worktops, stylish bathrooms and shower rooms with a premium finish and a reconfigured layout that promotes excellent flow and natural light.
At the heart of the home is the impressive open-plan kitchen and dining room, a superb space for both everyday living and entertaining, with direct access to the terrace and gardens beyond. A galleried landing above enhances the sense of space and architectural style. Adjoining reception rooms include a formal drawing room, sitting room, family room and study, offering exceptional flexibility for family life, working from home and entertaining.
Upstairs, an impressive principal suite awaits, with a luxurious bathroom which has a roll top bath and a stylish walk in shower. A further five bedrooms are then served by two modern bathrooms.
Externally, the immaculately maintained grounds wrap around the property and offer an exceptional sense of privacy, framed by mature planting and established trees. A sweeping shingle driveway provides ample parking, while the predominantly lawned gardens are complemented by a large, paved terrace to the rear leading from the beautiful kitchen, ideal for outdoor entertaining.
Further enhancing the appeal are two detached studios, equipped with power, lighting and hardwired internet, currently used as a home office, gym and storage.
Despite its wonderfully private village-edge setting, the house lies just a ten-minute walk from the heart of Ditchling village. The village itself is one of the most popular in the area. With its award-winning pub and excellent green spaces, it really is a picturesque Sussex village. Brighton is easily accessible by car, while the highly regarded Hurstpierpoint College is only a short drive away, offering an excellent balance of rural tranquillity and everyday convenience. Hassocks or Burgess hill mainline station have fast and regular trains to London Bridge or London Victoria, and you are in London within an hour.
Crossgoats represents a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully renovated period home of this calibre in one of Sussex’s most desirable villages, combining privacy, convenience, scale and outstanding craftsmanship.
