The larger village of Hassocks, with its mainline train station, provides regular rail services to London. There are also a range of revered state and private schools locally.

Restored to its former glory, this charming, detached period home has been thoughtfully renovated and extended to create a substantial family residence that blends character with modern comfort.

At the heart of the home is a stunning open plan kitchen and family room which flows seamlessly into the dining area. The modern kitchen boasts sleek quartz worktops, a central island and patio doors that open directly out onto the landscaped rear garden. A versatile ground floor bedroom/reception room is complemented by a stylish modern shower room ideal for guests or multigenerational living. The entire ground floor benefits from underfloor heating, serviced by a recently-installed air source heat pump, adding to the comfort and energy efficiency of the home. Upstairs there are four well-proportioned, double bedrooms and a family shower room. The principal bedroom features a private en-suite bathroom with a Japanese dipping bath, while the two south facing bedrooms enjoy beautiful views over the South Downs. The rear garden has been beautifully landscaped with a raised shingle terrace directly behind the house offering an ideal space for outdoor dining and relaxation. Beyond the terrace, you'll find a mix of lawn, wild grasses and wildflower beds that emphasise the natural setting. Raised vegetable beds and a dedicated hardstanding area perfect for a wood fired hot tub add further appeal. A detached studio complete with power, lighting and electric heating provides an ideal space for a home office, gym or creative studio.
