This charming double-fronted period residence is nestled in a captivating location right across from the village pond, offering an iconic view that encapsulates the essence of Lindfield's historic charm. The property, believed to date back to the Georgian era, features a classic façade with twin bay windows and a gabled entrance, all adorned with fresh white render. A picket gate invites you through a serene lawn leading to a welcoming covered entrance, hinting at the character retained within.
