College Lane, Hurstpierpoint, Hassocks

This delightful period home is certainly deceptive from the front, as handsome though it’s typical Victorian features are, the internal dimensions are somewhat surprising. As well as a welcoming entrance hall, there are two excellent sized reception rooms,
all with attractive ‘herringbone’ wooden floor underfoot. The sitting room has a splendid open fireplace and sympathetically fitted bookshelves and a pleasant aspect to the front. The formal dining room is larger than expected and rectangular in shape and
overlooks a small courtyard to the rear with the garden beyond. The ground floor also benefits from a separate, conveniently located cloakroom.

The kitchen breakfast room, is both striking and contemporary in its styling and has a range of cupboards and drawers, ample worktops and some fitted appliances. The separate breakfast area has plenty of room for informal family dining and access to the conservatory which is bespoke and timber in construction.

Upstairs there are 4 bedrooms, all of which have a pleasant outlook and a good sized bathroom/WC. The property is gas centrally heated and has many of its original sash window features which are an endearing feature of the property.

Externally, there is a fabulous good sized garden, which is another great surprise with lawned areas and a wealth of perennial plants trees and ornamental bushes and dedicated kitchen garden area. Worthy of special mention is the garden studio building, which is insulated and equipped with power and light and forms an excellent space for work or creativity. The garden sides onto dedicated meadow land which is set aside for the enjoyment of the community and is excellent for dog walkers and connects to many miles of countryside walking if desired.
