This distinctive Victorian detached residence, steeped in history and original charm, occupies a generous 0.23-acre plot within one of Burgess Hill’s most desirable streets. Measuring approximately 2,548 sq ft, this property offers ample space for family living while preserving its unique architectural character from the late 1800s. The house features high ceilings, ornate fireplaces, and preserved woodblock flooring throughout, all indicative of its historic significance.
Approached through original timber gates and an established hedge, the home's striking façade includes white-rendered elevations and sash-style windows beneath a timeless tiled roof. Inside, the well-proportioned reception rooms provide both an elegant setting for entertaining and a comfortable environment for daily life. The drawing room stands out with its twin bay windows that bathe the space in light. Meanwhile, a cozy snug with period details offers an inviting retreat.
The dining room boasts charming exposed timbers accompanied by a characterful brick fireplace, while the kitchen/breakfast area serves as the heart of the home. This generous space features handcrafted cabinetry and a distinguished Paul Bocuse range cooker with direct garden access through French doors. A traditional walk-in larder and utility room enhance functionality on the ground floor.
The first floor continues to impress with its spacious layout centered around a galleried landing. The principal suite includes an en suite shower room and lovely garden views, complemented by three additional bedrooms served by a family bathroom showcasing a freestanding roll-top bath.
Outdoors, the property is enveloped in mature gardens that provide privacy and tranquility—ideal for outdoor entertainment or leisure activities. A versatile former stable currently used as a garage and workshop presents potential for conversion into a home office or self-contained annexe (subject to permissions).
With proximity to local amenities including shops, parks, and excellent transport links to London and Brighton, this property represents not just a home but also an investment opportunity for someone looking to restore or enhance its vintage appeal.
