A rare opportunity to purchase a substantial 4 bedroom detached cottage dating we believe from the late 1700’s, spanning 3 floors and offering an abundance of character, centrally situated within it’s gardens with direct access onto Ditchling Common. Most rooms have exposed timbers and a particular feature is the sitting/dining room which includes 2 fabulous Inglenook fireplaces.
The property is initially approached via the access road to Tidy’s Industrial Estate which then leads to the residential houses and cottages. The area is surrounded by 188 acres of Ditchling Common Country Park providing a wonderful semi rural setting, yet within easy access to the mainline towns of Burgess Hill and Haywards Heath. Ditchling village is a short drive with its quaint tea rooms, 2 pubs, primary school, sports clubs and church.
The property is approached via a pathway to an enclosed porch which opens to the kitchen/breakfast room or to a covered porch which opens to an entrance hall with stairs to the first floor. There is an inner hallway with a cloakroom leading off it and a study. The kitchen/breakfast room is triple aspect with a vaulted ceiling and a substantial brick chimney breast with an inset log burning stove and an alcove ideal for log storage.
A particular feature is the L-shaped triple aspect sitting/dining room which was originally 2 separate rooms but now provides a wonderful family or entertaining space. 2 impressive Inglenook fireplaces, one with an inset log burning stove and one with a cast iron basket with canopy. 2 doors to the garden, one with direct access to the south facing patio.
On the first floor there are 3 double bedrooms and a generous bath/shower room with a free standing Victorian style bath with claw feet and a separate shower cubicle. Stairs from the landing rise to the sizeable master bedroom which is dual aspect with views to the common and a range of built in bedroom furniture. A square archway leads to the ensuite shower room.
Outside the cottage is approached via a 5 bar gate which leads to an extensive parking area. Timber shed with power. Gate with direct access onto the woodland and common.
A gate with a pathway that leads to the cottage is surrounded by the gardens with patios and a pathway that flanks the property on all sides. A south facing flagstone patio abuts the sitting/dining room with far reaching views providing a wonderful seating and entertaining area. The majority of the garden measures 65’ x 60’ laid to lawn with a variety of borders shielded by hedging and mature trees. BRICK BUILT OUTHOUSE/WORKSHOP with pitched tiled roof. This could easily be converted for a home office or for ancillary accommodation. Greenhouse, outside tap, oil boiler and tank.
The property benefits from oil fired central heating (new external Worcester Bosch Danesmoor oil boiler May 2023) and uPVC framed double glazed windows.
*Planning permission was granted for a replacement side extension and solar panels to the main roof in July 2020. Ref: LW/20/0427

Broadband availability and predicted speed
Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:
Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s
The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2
Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
