3 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

A well extended, semi detached Victorian property within minutes walk of the High Street and with the benefit of private gardens, a detached studio and beautiful views of the South Downs

Ditchling, with its beautiful views of the South Downs, is a historic village playing host to a selection of local shops, cafés, a church, and two public houses including The Bull, an award-winning gastro pub. The larger village of Hassocks, with its mainline train station, is a short drive away and provides regular rail services to London and a more comprehensive array of shops. The local area benefits from a range of revered state and private schools for all ages.
