House For Sale £1,500,000
A sizable detached family house, situated in an elevated position within minutes walk of the main line station, boasting glorious views with wonderful landscaped gardens and grounds in excess of 2 acres
Hassocks is a vibrant village with a bustling High Street including cafés, a deli, butchers, bakers, post office, restaurants and public houses. Its mainline train station provides regular rail services to London, Brighton and Gatwick. There are also a range of revered state and private schools locally.
With its origins tracing back to the mid 1930’s ‘Byway House’ occupies a commanding yet private and elevated position being only minutes’ walk from the mainline station, on the southern ridge of the village. The plot itself measures in excess of 2 acres in total with the vendors acquiring further woodland throughout their tenure. Greeted by a light entrance hall this wonderful family house has 3 large reception rooms on the ground floor, all looking out over the rear landscaped garden. The kitchen/breakfast room lies to one side of the property and has a range of integrated appliances and a useful utility room. A staircase leads to the first floor where 4 bedrooms and a family bathroom benefiting from both a panelled bath and separate shower cubicle reside. The principal bedroom has a range of fitted wardrobe cupboards and is serviced by an en-suite shower room. It should also be noted that the second bedroom has double doors opening out onto a south facing balcony looking out over the wonderful gardens and beyond. Having been lovingly nurtured and expertly expanded over the years the gardens have a fine balance of manicured lawns and areas of woodland knitted together using a wealth of indigenous and nonindigenous shrubs, plants and specimen trees. A paved terrace provides a space for entertaining and there is also the benefit of a timber summer house. A shingle sweeping driveway at the front of the property provides parking for several cars and access to the attached double garage.
