An elegant Grade II listed Victorian semi detached house in the heart of Cuckfield, beautifully refurbished to combine period charm with contemporary finishes. The house offers five bedrooms across two upper floors, generous reception rooms with bay windows and working fireplaces, and a vaulted kitchen opening onto a walled cottage garden and courtyard. A detached garage and private parking complete the outside space.
A notable feature is the adjoining ground-floor shop with its own street entrance and large bay display window. Presented to the same high standard as the house, the commercial unit provides flexible potential – continued retail use, a home business base, or conversion for additional residential space subject to the necessary consents and listed-building constraints.
Practical points are clear and important: the property is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and may complicate refurbishment or change of use. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the current EPC is D. The house sits on solid brick walls (likely without cavity insulation) and council tax is above average — factors to consider for running costs and any further improvement works.
This home will suit families wanting a characterful village house with convenient commuter links (Haywards Heath station 2.3 miles) or buyers seeking an owner-occupied house with an income or business opportunity from the shop. The recent refurbishment reduces immediate snagging, while the listed status and electric heating are the main practical caveats for prospective buyers.
