About this property

A charming two-bedroom cottage with outbuildings, separate office and countryside views situated in a desirable position within the sought-after village of South Chailey

Situated overlooking the rolling Sussex countryside on the northern edge of South Chailey is this delightful mid-terrace Victorian property, offering masses of character and charm. The house has been sympathetically updated with modern additions such as underfloor heating and updated bathrooms while retaining much of its period charm; there are exposed beams and brick detailing, a fireplace with a wood-burning stove and a wooden staircase, which are beautifully complemented by shabby chic décor which adds to the cosy appeal. This charming home would be well suited to couples or downsizers, those looking to live independently in the country or as a second home, perhaps as a holiday let. The setting is fantastically rural, with countryside opposite criss-crossed by footpaths, and yet the amenities of larger towns are only moments away.
The layout is well planned to maximise the space, with a porch opening to the open plan sitting room and dining area at the front which then leads onto a ground floor shower room with WC and the bright and charming kitchen, with French windows opening to the rear garden. Upstairs there are two bedrooms including a good size double and a second smaller bedroom, plus a family bathroom with rolltop bath. Within the garden there is a detached office with WC, which is a fantastic addition for homeworkers.

Outside
The cottage is set back from the road behind an off-street parking space. The rear garden is south-east facing and attractively landscaped with mature borders featuring a variety of shrubs, raised vegetable planters, a strip of lawn and a number of patio and decking areas for garden furniture. A path leads to the detached home office and a timber summerhouse and shed.

Situation
The village of South Chailey has amenities including a public house, village store, Post Office and popular junior and secondary schools. A wide choice of shops and services can be found locally in the town of Lewes (6 miles) or Brighton (13 miles), the latter with its seaside attractions, excellent shopping and leisure facilities and cultural events. Gatwick Airport is approximately 25 miles drive via the M23 which also leads to the national motorway network. Haywards Heath (7 miles) has trains to Victoria/London Bridge (approx. 48 mins). The local area is beautiful open countryside with many footpaths leading to woodland and areas of outstanding natural beauty.
There are many highly regarded schools in the area including Ardingly College.
