Situated in the heart of the village and within the conservation area Wickham House is a fine Grade II listed town house imbued with great charm and atmosphere. Once the corn exchange, the property has enormous character and many Georgian details including the white painted quoins, large sash windows, attractive symmetry and the impressive entrance and door. The house has been in the same family ownership for the last 18 years.
The house is set back from the high street behind a pretty white fence with a central gate that leads up a path to steps which rise to the original front door with its fan light, pillasters and open pediment. A small lobby leads into the charming
drawing room with its large inglenook fireplace and rich array of exposed beams and wood work. The layout of the accommodation is as shown on the floor plan. Adjacent to the drawing room is the study with the delightful dining room to the rear over looking the garden. The kitchen has a large built in dresser with serving hatch, space for a breakfast table, access to the large cellar and a back door to the garden. There is a small larder and a guest w/c. The first floor landing with its
window seat overlooking the garden and curved panelled wall is another special space. There are 3 large double bedrooms (one with en suite) which are as characterful as the rest of the house. The panelling, original doors and door furniture stand
out. There is a spacious family bathroom overlooking the garden. On the top floor are 2 further bedrooms and a large attic room. In our view, and with the necessary consents, this
might be converted into another bedroom, games room or work space.
Outside
To the front of the house is a valuable off street parking space infront of the garage. The wonderful garage doors slide back on a rail to offer covered parking or storage space. Behind the garage is the garden store/utilty area. The back garden is another delightful space. Bounded on all sides by walls, it is much loved and has been planted and designed to offer year round colour. Primarily laid to lawn it is particularly private and there are areas of patio and places to sit out. There is also wendy house for the children.
Location
Hurstpierpoint is a picturesque Sussex village surrounded by beautiful countryside, at the foot of the South Downs National Park. The High Street offers a thriving retail environment with grocers, an excellent butcher, pet shop, post office, dentist and many lovely boutiques, cafes, restaurants and pubs.

In addition, the coastal city of Brighton & Hove is about 9 miles to the south. Comprehensive shopping is found at Burgess Hill (4 miles), Haywards Heath (7 miles), Brighton (9 miles) and Lewes (12 miles). There is also an excellent selection of schools in the area including Hurstpierpoint College, Ardingly College, Handcross Park Preparatory School, Brighton College and Burgess Hill School for Girls. Catchment schools include St Lawrence cep School and Downlands Community College. There are many leisure activities available with walks across the South Downs, a variety of equestrian pursuits (Hickstead is nearby), sailing off the south coast and golf at Hassocks and across the county. There is a vibrant cultural and arts scene in Sussex, with world-class opera at Glyndebourne, theatre at Royal Tunbridge Wells and the annual Brighton Festival presenting a huge programme of theatre, dance, classical music and literary events.
