About this property

Set in a highly sought after private road in Ditchling, a detached 4 bed house occupying a quarter on an acre with attractive gardens within the South Downs National park. Set in a peaceful location yet offering easy access to the village centre and mainline rail links in Hassocks. NO ONWARD CHAIN.

A traditional four-bedroom detached home situated in the highly desirable village of Ditchling with idyllic countryside walks on the doorstep and within easy reach of the Hassocks mainline station. The property has a bright and spacious arrangement which lends itself well to families affording more than 1400 sq ft across two floors with generous living space, four sizeable bedrooms and a larger than average westerly facing garden to the rear.

The ground floor accommodation is accessed via a welcoming entrance hall with WC leading through to a bright and spacious sitting room with brick fireplace and sliding doors out to the rear patio, adjoining study, well-sized dining room and traditional fully fitted kitchen with adjacent breakfast room. Occupying the first floor is the principal bedroom benefitting from fitted wardrobes, a second good-size bedroom, a smaller bedroom which has great potential to be utilised as a child’s bedroom or home office and a family shower room.

Outside

The westerly facing rear garden is a great size and is mostly laid to lawn flanked with wide and varied borders comprising bedding plants and shrubs with a spacious patio perfectly designed for outdoor dining, enclosed by established trees and tall hedging affording a high degree of seclusion.
