Property Summary
Full Details
The Home...
This utterly charming semi-detached Victorian cottage is offered to the market for the first time in over 40 years. With all the character features one could wish for, this home will the perfect buy for any lover of Victorian property and would be the ideal first time purchase or downsize.
Upon entry you have a useful porch that provides separation from the outside and hallway and is also a useful spot for shoes & coats.
To the front you have a cosy and inviting sitting room where the exposed brickwork fireplace is the natural focal point. With a working log burner, this is a charming room to sit in front of the crackling fire in the winter months.
The dining room also has a lovely cast iron fireplace and has been knocked through into the hallway to create a more spacious feel. The farmhouse style kitchen handily sits adjacent, ideal for entertaining and leads through to the sun room with cloakroom.
Just off the dining room is the pleasant conservatory, with doors opening on the garden.
On the first floor you’ll notice the beautiful original curved banister and split level landing – both charming nods to the original age of the house and you have two double bedrooms and a great size family bathroom. The main bedroom is a fabulous room extending across the entire front of the house, with full width wardrobes and another period fireplace. The second bedroom also enjoys full width wardrobes and a leafy outlook over the garden.
The house is fully double glazed and heated via gas fired central heating (with tank in the bathroom). There are also two useful understairs storage cupboards. The vendors are also suited with a chain free onward purchase.
Outside Oasis...
To the rear garden is a real outside oasis offering plenty of privacy and seclusion. The westerly aspect means you enjoy sunshine throughout the afternoon and into the evening. There are plenty of established shrubs and bushes and an expanse of level lawn meaning there is plenty of greenery. The ornamental fish pond provides the relaxing sound of running water and the summerhouse which is fully thermally insulated, with power and lighting, is a lovely spot to relax or potentially work from home. The garden shed located behind the summerhouse, also has power and lighting and provides handy storage for all the odds & ends and there is a gated pedestrian side access to the garden, across the rear of 163 Junction Road and via the lane between 163 & 165 Junction Road.
To the front you have a block-paved driveway providing off road parking for two cars side-by-side – a rarely available benefit on Junction Road.
The Location...
Junction Road is an established road that is incredibly convenient for both Burgess Hill town centre and both the town's mainline stations (0.4 miles to Burgess Hill and 0.6 miles to Wivelsfield) with their regular commuter services to London (Victoria/London Bridge - 50 mins), Brighton (15 mins) and Gatwick Airport (20 mins). You have beautiful open countryside at Ditchling Common, perfect for a hike or dog walk and Ridgeview Wine Estate boasts a superb outdoor restaurant.
For your everyday essentials you are within a short walk of the Co-Operative convenience store and 'Day One' convenience store which offers everything you need - they are even open throughout Christmas Day! The town boasts three supermarkets in the form of Waitrose, Tesco and Lidl. For the health fanatics, the Triangle Leisure Centre is a short distance by car and offers two swimming pools, gym and a range of classes. Pure Gym is a mile away on London Road.
By car, you have swift access on to the A23(M) motorway network at Hickstead, which lies just over 4 miles distant.
