House For Sale £1,150,000
A spacious and well-appointed period cottage dating back to 1920 and enjoying a fantastic setting within Ditchling Common, which adjoins the South Downs National Park and the plentiful amenities of Burgess Hill. As well as lovely rural views, the property also benefits from a third of an acre of grassland.
A wealth of period features are complemented by the recently refurbished interiors, which have been completed to a high standard and have created a wonderful flow throughout the house with a monochrome colour scheme that enhances the excellent natural light. Highlights include the stunning family bathroom with its freestanding claw-footed bathtub; the modern kitchen laid to striking chequerboard tile; the spacious family room with its vaulted ceiling and plank floors; and the lovely sitting room still retaining its inglenook brick-lined fireplace. There is an abundance of windows throughout, many with dual aspect views over the surrounding paddocks and farmland.
The property extends to 1833 square feet and has been extended and improved, but still has further potential to personalise to the incoming purchasers’ wishes. On the ground floor, the accommodation is accessed from a hallway leading to the sitting room, kitchen/breakfast room and drawing room. The drawing room is open to the family room and provides a fabulous space to entertain in. Additional accommodation includes a utility room, boot room and a shower room.
