What this property offers
About this property
This period cottage is an attractive, Edwardian family home that masterfully combines early 20th-century period charm with modern, versatile living. Having been carefully and substantially extended in a sympathetic architectural style, this end-of-terrace property now offers beautifully presented accommodation arranged over three distinct floors. The ground floor boasts a welcoming entrance hall on the northeast elevation, with a convenient cloakroom to the right. To the left is a bright, comfortable sitting room that flows seamlessly through a connecting door into the dining room. The dining room links back around directly into the modernised kitchen. On the first floor, a well-balanced landing provides access to three good-sized family bedrooms and a modern family bathroom. Stairs rise again to the second floor, which hosts a versatile and spacious fourth bedroom.
PLANNING & FUTURE POTENTIAL
A standout feature of this property is the incredible scope to add value and expand. Mid Sussex District Council had granted planning permission under application DM/21/2761 to construct a fantastic 8m x 4.9m single-storey rear extension (expired Sept 2024). Complete with bi-fold doors and roof skylights, this will create an exceptional, contemporary daytime living kitchen/diner designed to perfectly frame the stunning views across the land. The consent also permitted the conversion of the existing timber garages and store into a premium home office and garden room.
OUTSIDE, GARDENS & PADDOCK
Approached via a shared driveway serving the three cottages, the property opens up onto an expansive private gravel driveway with ample parking and turning space for several vehicles. The outbuildings comprise a substantial timber block offering a double garage and a lockable workshop/store. The property sits in grounds of about 0.75 of an acre. The formal, secluded gardens face the north and east, bounded by high hedging and mature trees that offer excellent privacy. Two raised decking areas provide the perfect sunny vantage points for alfresco dining and relaxation. Directly across from the driveway lies the enclosed paddock, extending to approximately half an acre. It is laid to grass and features a delightful small orchard with plum, apple, cherry, and apricot trees. Enjoying spectacular westerly views over the adjoining farmland, this area is ideal for recreation, a secure dog run, or a smallholding
with plenty of space for a stable or field shelter (STPP). For those requiring more space, the outer areas of the field may be available to rent from the neighbouring farmer, potentially taking the total holding up to an acre.
LOCATION
Perfectly positioned within a peaceful rural setting, the cottage sits just a mile and a half from the historic and highly sought-after Cuckfield High Street. Cuckfield offers an array of boutique shops, cafes, and prestigious local schooling
including Holy Trinity Primary and the renowned Warden Park Secondary Academy. The bustling town of Haywards Heath is only minutes away by car, providing extensive supermarkets (Waitrose and Sainsbury's), the vibrant social and dining scene along The Broadway, and the Princess Royal Hospital. Commuters are superbly catered for, with both Haywards Heath and Balcombe mainline stations situated within easy driving distance, offering direct trains to London Victoria, London Bridge (approx. 45–50 minutes), and Brighton (under 20 minutes). The nearby A23/M23 corridor ensures seamless road links to Gatwick Airport, the M25, and the South Coast.
