Description

This semi-detached cottage-style home presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment, set in a tranquil semi-rural location. With three bedrooms and two living spaces, the property offers ample space for potential updates and improvements. The existing features include gas central heating, modern PVC double glazing, and a bespoke wooden kitchen, although the property would benefit from modernization in various areas. Additionally, there is potential for extension subject to necessary consents. Nestled on the edge of Ditchling, this property is part of a small cul-de-sac comprising just 18 homes. Residents enjoy picturesque views of the South Downs and easy access to beautiful countryside walks. Nearby amenities include the acclaimed Ridgeview Vineyard with its Rows & Vines Restaurant and the popular Notcutts Garden Centre, enhancing both lifestyle appeal and investment potential. Ditchling itself boasts a rich community atmosphere with independent shops, a sub-post office, chemist, cafes, and an award-winning gastro pub called The Bull. The local Ditchling Museum of Art + Craft adds cultural value to the area, while St Margaret's Junior School provides educational options within close proximity. Entering the home through an inviting canopy porch leads you into an entrance hall with views of the rear garden and charming exposed ceiling beams. The well-designed layout features an inner lobby connecting to two spacious living areas: one with an open fireplace that adds character and warmth, while the dining room offers triple aspect views that invite natural light. The kitchen/breakfast room is another highlight; it presents an excellent opportunity for modernization with solid wood cabinetry and access to both front and rear gardens through PVCu double glazed patio doors. The first floor comprises three bedrooms that showcase lovely countryside views as well as sufficient space for future enhancement. A sizeable bathroom supports practicality with essential amenities while presenting further scope for upgrades. Outside, a south-facing front garden provides privacy from the road, while the expansive rear garden—approximately 126 feet long—features mature trees and several outbuildings including a greenhouse that require attention but offer promise for creative landscaping or additional storage solutions. With scope for both immediate updates and longer-term investments through expansion or renovations (subject to planning), this property combines comfortable living with significant potential in an idyllic setting near sought-after amenities.
