A fine example of a 5-BEDROOM DETACHED ‘Turner-style’ home, distinct to the area and that of its archetypal design, built, we believe, in the 1950s and set on a SECLUDED PLOT OF CIRCA 0.6 of an ACRE whilst immaculately presented throughout. The property is ideally positioned a stone’s throw of Cuckfield’s quintessential village High Street, also convenient for the highly regarded village schooling, both primary and secondary, along with swift and easy road access to the A/M23.

Having been impeccably modernised and finished to an exact standard by the current owners over the past 15 years, all updated fixtures and fittings blend sensitively to its original Sussex-Farmhouse inspired detailing. SYMPATHETIC EXTENSIONS to both the front and rear were constructed in 2011 to provide a garage, study and utility room with bedrooms and snug above, an enclosed entrance porch and a superb sun room, facing south, running seamlessly from the kitchen and enjoying the most splendid views over the beautifully designed rear garden with far-reaching countryside views beyond.

The well-arranged accommodation with generous room sizes briefly comprises: a welcoming RECEPTION HALL leading to an elegant triple-aspect SITTING ROOM featuring an original open fireplace with brick surround whilst lying open to the DINING ROOM, all of which are collectively laid with replacement solid oak herringbone-style flooring. A beautifully appointed KITCHEN/BREAKFAST/ SUNROOM is fitted with a range of country-style wall and base cabinetry with integrated dishwasher and fridge/freezer, complemented with granite worksurfaces extending to a breakfast bar, ideal for high seating whilst providing further storage. Free-standing is an electric Range-style Smeg cooker. This impressive free flowing room features a glass roof lantern to the rear allowing plenty of natural light to flood in, a woodburning stove and patio doors opening to the terrace beyond. Off the reception hall is an inner hallway with a deep understairs storage cupboard leading to a separate UTILITY ROOM fitted with wall and base units, Butler-style sink, spaces/plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer along with an external door. Further is a delightful CLOAKROOM equipped with a traditional high cistern WC. To the far end of the inner hallway is a step up to a generously sized double aspect STUDY/PLAYROOM.

A beautiful oak staircase rises from the reception hall to a GALLERIED FIRST FLOOR LANDING leading onto a double aspect PRINCIPAL BEDROOM SUITE, spanning front to rear, with a spacious dressing area and EN-SUITE BATH/SHOWER ROOM. BEDROOM TWO, also of double aspect, benefits from an EN-SUITE SHOWER ROOM. THREE FURTHER DOUBLE BEDROOMS (one with a versatile ‘SNUG ROOM’ off) are served by a FAMILY BATH/SHOWER ROOM enjoying a stylish Victorian clawfoot bath.

Further benefits Include:- New boiler (February 2026), wet underfloor heating (with new pump) to ground floor western elevation of house, gas-fired central heating, replacement double-glazed windows. NO ONWARD CHAIN.

THE GARDENS

‘Campden’, set within a beautifully landscaped PLOT OF CIRCA 0.6 OF AN ACRE, enjoys the most magnificent far-reaching countryside views to its SOUTHERLY REAR ASPECT. Upon entering the property, a sweeping PRIVATE DRIVEWAY leads down to the house where delightful gardens are arranged to either side interspersed with majestic trees including a Mulberry and Liquid Amber. Parking for numerous vehicles is on offer including a garage with cabling for an EV charging point to its facade, double opening timber doors, electricity and light.

A wrought-iron gated side access path leads to the impressive REAR GARDEN, having been professionally designed, tiered and landscaped into ‘zoned’ areas for varying use which relish in its south-facing aspect. Abutting the rear of the house is a substantial patio stepping down to a wildlife pond and again down to a large lawn adorned with abundantly stocked beds with an array of shrubs and plants, particularly Rose. From here, hedgerow spans the garden’s width and opens through to a vegetable garden and mini orchard equipped with several raised timber beds, greenhouse, timber shed, fruit cage and a further naturalistic pond. Beyond, to the rear boundary is a handy pedestrian gate giving access to the westerly aspect of Courtmead Road.
