The Home... - Welcome to Lavender Cottage, a charming Victorian cottage situated in the very heart of Handcross - a quintessential Sussex village with a thriving community, excellent schools and fantastic links via the A23(M).

The home will surely appeal to any lover period charm and those seeking all the benefits a village lifestyle has to offer. Typical of the era, you have two formal reception rooms of the ground floor and the sitting room is an inviting space and enjoys a beautiful fireplace with cabinetry either side.

The dining room also has a fireplace and flows through to the kitchen, which itself is shaker-style, has plenty of room for a breakfast table and an integrated oven/hob. Usefully, there is a separate cloakroom and utility area.

On the first floor you have three well-balanced bedrooms. The main bedroom is at the front of the house and boasts a beautiful period fireplace. The second and third bedrooms are both good size rooms and each is served by the gorgeous family bathroom with eye-catching rolltop bath that is the perfect spot to unwind. The suite and tiled flooring remains sympathetic to the age of the house with its Victorian styling.

The second floor offers two incredibly useful extra rooms, which could be used as single bedrooms but work equally well as offices for those who work from home, or a play room for the children.

The house is heated via gas fired boiler and is fully double glazed. There is also a large cellar space that provides fantastic storage space but is also ripe for conversion into additional useable accommodation (the adjoining home has undertaken a conversion).
