A unique and versatile house with huge scope for extension and improvement. Situated in a central yet peaceful location benefiting from stunning views, a detached garage with annex above and large south facing gardens of approximately 0.66 of an acre

Ditchling, nestled within the South Downs National Park, is a historic village playing host to a selection of local shops, cafes, a church and two public houses including The Bull, an award-winning gastro pub. The larger village of Hassocks is a short drive away, as is the city of Brighton and Hove, both offering mainline train connections to London and a greater array of shops and restaurants. This area of Sussex also benefits from a variety of superb private and state schools for all ages, all within easy reach of the village.

‘Little Ash’ occupies a wonderfully private and tranquil location with glorious views over its landscaped gardens towards the South Downs. This family house has been extended over the years with the benefit of an annex over the detached garage. The property offers versatile living with the option to accommodate relatives, older children or an au pair. 3 reception rooms reside on the ground floor including a large sitting room with glazed sliding doors out onto the terrace overlooking the south facing gardens. The kitchen is in the centre of the property and there is also a useful utility room with space for a range of appliances. Staircases at either end of the house including a beautiful wrought iron spiral staircase lead to the first floor where 4 bedrooms and a family bathroom with separate shower reside. The master bedroom is serviced by a ‘Jack & Jill’ shower room. Accessed via an internal staircase to the side of the garage is a first floor annex with open plan kitchen/sitting/bedroom along with a separate shower room. The beautiful gardens extend to the south and comprise wonderfully manicured lawns interspersed with fruit trees and a central well stocked bed. An elevated paved terrace extends the full length of the property and looks over the beautiful lawns. A further area of lawn is accessed via a gate at the bottom of the garden over a stream.
