A classic example of a Victorian double fronted family house (excess 2000 sft) in a very large rear garden (excess 1/3 of an acre) within easy walking distance of the pretty High Street and village primary and secondary schools. This property comes to the market for the first time in 27 years. The in and out driveway provides parking for cars and a driveway leading to a detached garage. The interior has retained much of the character associated with the era of construction with natural pine floors and staircase, high ceilings and fireplaces. The ground floor suits the 5 or 6 bedrooms above, with a cosy sitting room into one of the attractive bays at the front and a large living room to the rear with study/utility and ground floor WC. The kitchen also enjoys the square bay window to the front and is open plan to the dining room at the rear with doors out to decking and the extraordinary gardens which extend a long way back and dog-leg around and behind the neighbouring houses. The plot size is over a third of an acre and includes an above-ground swimming pool with plant station surrounded by decking. The gardens are a dramatic feature of the property. They are laid to lawn with a lightly wooded area at the bottom. Inside, there are two family bathrooms, one on the first floor, the other on the second floor. This second floor would make the perfect suite for teenagers as it is divided into a bedroom and open sitting room area with its own bathroom. There is also walk-in storage to one side. The property has full gas fired central heating to radiators. This is the perfect home for a family who want to be close to facilities, who need a spacious and adaptable house all within a wonderful secluded garden. There is an ornamental pond close to the northern boundary. All mains services. EPC rating D Council tax band E Mid Sussex district.
