Just a short 0.2-mile stroll from the historic High Street, the property combines character with potential for renovation and investment. Currently configured with two spacious double bedrooms and a modern bathroom featuring convenient ‘Jack and Jill’ access from the principal bedroom and first-floor landing, this home is ready for your personal touch. The main living area is a generously sized dual-aspect sitting room that benefits from natural light and elevated views. A former shower room off this space offers an excellent prospect for conversion into a study or could be reimagined to enhance the sitting room's size, subject to planning permissions.

Finished in contemporary white gloss cabinetry complemented by warm wood-look surfaces, this open-plan space is both functional and stylish, making it perfect for modern living. Upstairs, the first-floor landing leads to two well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom includes built-in storage while offering charming views over Abinger Place. The second floor houses a generous double bedroom with picturesque views extending over rooftops towards the South Downs—a tranquil retreat at day's end. The outdoor space features a brick-laid courtyard that benefits from its favorable westerly aspect and allows gated access to the rear, enhancing privacy while providing practical options for additional outdoor usage. Nestled within walking distance of local amenities, including scenic walks along the river, public recreation grounds with playgrounds, and a variety of shops and eateries on the High Street, this property offers both lifestyle appeal and investment potential. Additionally, proximity to schools, sports clubs, and major transport links—including direct services to London—is an undeniable benefit for families or commuters alike. This freehold property currently has gas central heating and falls under Council Tax Band C.
