Situation
The picturesque downland village of Ditchling lies just 1.6 miles from the famous Ditchling Beacon and its surrounding nature reserve in the South Downs National Park. The village has a variety of local shops, including arts and craft workshops, a museum and Post Office, plus The Larder, an excellent delicatessen selling local produce, and cafes such as The Green Welly. In addition, there are pubs including The Bull and The White Horse, a village church and a primary school. A wider range of shops is available at Hassocks, about two miles to the east, which also has a mainline train station to London Bridge/Victoria (approximately 55 minutes). The city of Brighton and the south coast are about nine miles distant. The M23/A23 provides good access to Gatwick and the national motorway network.
Outside
The property is approached by double iron gates opening onto a gravel drive with parking for several cars, enclosed by a wall to the front. Hedges and a climbing wisteria to the front of the property provide year-round interest. Side access leads to the rear garden which is laid to mostly level lawn and features mature trees and shrubs, a pergola and a path leading to a wood shed and fruit trees at the bottom. Adjacent to the house is a paved patio area with ample space for outdoor furniture and steps down to the lawn between a stone balustrade.
