Description

This semi-detached home presents a unique opportunity for those interested in renovation and investment, ideally situated in a tranquil area that combines a semi-rural atmosphere with accessibility to urban amenities. Having been held by the same family for many years, the property possesses both character and potential for modernization. Upon entering, you are greeted by a modest hallway that connects to the kitchen, living room, and integral garage. The kitchen offers ample storage and workspace but is ripe for updating, allowing you to reimagine it according to your personal style. The living room serves as a spacious hub within the house, featuring an inviting layout perfect for both relaxation and dining. A distinctive mid-century staircase adds a touch of charm, while sliding doors open up to the garden, enhancing the connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. The first floor comprises three bedrooms alongside a bathroom. The integral garage stands out as an area with significant conversion potential; it could easily be transformed into an additional reception room or even allow you to relocate the kitchen there and repurpose the existing space into a study or utility area. Outside, the garden is designed for low maintenance with a paved terrace and established shrubbery providing privacy. Side access leads from the garden to the front of the property where driveway parking is available for one vehicle. Located in a quiet cul-de-sac of just 23 homes, this property fosters a strong sense of community while being conveniently accessible for families. Albourne Church of England Primary School is just a short walk away and has received ‘Good’ ratings from Ofsted—making it an appealing option for young families seeking educational opportunities in their neighborhood. For commuters, access to major routes such as the A23 facilitates easy travel to Brighton, Gatwick Airport, and London. Hassocks station lies approximately 2.5 miles away and offers efficient train services connecting to London (Victoria/London Bridge in about 54 minutes), Brighton (around 9 minutes), and Gatwick (approximately 20 minutes). This freehold property falls under Mid Sussex District Council with Council Tax Band C. It also benefits from ultrafast fibre broadband availability. Interested parties are encouraged to verify these details independently prior to formalizing any agreements. As part of standard due diligence procedures concerning Anti-Money Laundering regulations, all prospective buyers will undergo relevant checks through an independent third-party service before entering into any sales contract.
