Guide price

This handsome semi-detached property is situated on one of Hassocks' most sought after roads and is particularly well-suited for the rail commuter, being less than 200 metres from the station. The property is Victorian and, though modernised, retains a wealth of character features throughout including stained glass windows, wood floors, picture rails, decorative cornicing and original fireplaces. The décor is well presented and complements the attractive character features, with more modern elements like a stylish and well-appointed kitchen and contemporary bath and shower rooms providing a pleasant contrast.

The house is very spacious, with accommodation over four floors including useful cellars for storage. It's the ideal family home, with plenty of space and good storage in most of the bedrooms. The total floor plan extends to about 1800 sq ft, with scope to extend further if desired (stnc).

The ground floor is accessed via a striking entrance hall which leads to a sitting room with bay window, a generously proportioned open plan kitchen and dining room, which has a breakfast bar for informal meals, and a garden room at the back of the house which has bifold doors opening to the terrace. The ground floor also features a cloakroom with WC. On the first floor there are three spacious double bedrooms including an en suite principal bedroom plus a family shower room, with a further en suite bedroom on the top floor. From the upper floors there are lovely views over the surrounding countryside and towards the South Downs.

Outside

There is off-street parking to the front on a private block-paved driveway, which has space for several cars as well as access to the single garage. The rear south facing garden has been beautifully landscaped to include patio area which leads up to an elevated terrace, providing the perfect space for alfresco dining. The garden is in excess of 100ft long and includes a lawn, mature trees and shrubs around the borders and a garden studio at the back, which has an adjoining terrace.
