Summary - KINGSCOT LONDON ROAD SAYERS COMMON HASSOCKS BN6 9HT
3 bed 2 bath Detached
Secluded 1.25-acre plot with pool, pond and period charm near Hassocks.
Grade II listed house dating from the early 1500s
A striking Grade II listed house believed to date from the early 1500s, Kingscot sits privately within about 1.25 acres of mature gardens, a large pond and an outdoor heated swimming pool. Interior character is strong: inglenook fireplaces, exposed beams and handcrafted joinery give the reception rooms a warm, historic feel. The principal bedroom is generous and has its own staircase and en-suite; two further bedrooms and a ground-floor shower room complete practical family accommodation.
The grounds are a major asset — extensive lawns, a kitchen garden with greenhouse and raised beds, timber stores, a summer house and a large garage with electric roller door. The pool is heated via an air-source heat pump and there is off-street parking for several cars approached over a shingle drive. The plot’s layout and size suit buyers who prioritise privacy, outdoor living and gardening potential.
Important practical points: the property’s listed status will affect alterations and may make some upgrades more complex. There is an overage on the land that includes the pond, which will impose a future restriction or payment obligation — prospective buyers should obtain full details. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are described as slow/average, and internal rooms have traditional, lower ceiling heights consistent with the building’s age.
This home will suit buyers seeking a historic, character-filled family house in a peaceful village setting near Hassocks and Hurstpierpoint — those who value a large private garden and are comfortable managing a listed building and its maintenance requirements. For families, gardeners and anyone wanting significant outdoor space close to decent schools and rail links, this property offers rare scale and atmosphere.
