This charming detached cottage, believed to be dating back to around 1780, presents a rare opportunity for renovation and investment, having remained unmarketed for roughly four decades. The property is offered with vacant possession and features an appealing conservatory extension, private parking space, and a south-facing rear garden—ideal for outdoor relaxation and gardening potential.
Accessed via a long shared driveway off the London Road, the property is conveniently located just moments from a local convenience store/post office and within a short walk of St Johns Park. The town center and mainline station are approximately one mile away, providing excellent commuter connections to both Brighton and London.
Internally, the layout includes an entrance hall that leads to a modest dining area. A square archway opens into a dual-aspect sitting room equipped with a feature fireplace, providing a cozy focal point. The kitchen comes with fitted cupboards including a useful shelved larder. The bathroom has been recently updated with a Victorian-style white suite. Notably, the double-glazed conservatory is plumbed for laundry appliances and features double doors that lead directly into the garden.
Upstairs there are three bedrooms, one of which has loft access via a hatch. Additional storage solutions include an airing cupboard and linen cupboard situated on the landing.
The outside area boasts a private block-paved driveway suitable for one vehicle along with side access to the spacious rear garden (approximately 35’ x 19’), which consists of both paving and lawn areas. It features stepping stones leading to a timber shed and includes a small pond, offering scope for further landscaping.
With gas central heating provided by a Glow-worm combination boiler located in the airing cupboard and uPVC double glazing throughout, this property stands as an excellent candidate for modernisation while retaining its historic charm.
