Set in the heart of Ditchling within the South Downs National Park, this late‑Victorian terraced cottage offers a calm, village‑centre life with countryside views from the rear garden. The home spreads over three storeys and 982 sq ft, with a welcoming living room, a sociable kitchen/dining area, utility/store and three bedrooms arranged over the upper floors. The front garden provides a small, private approach and a bike/bin store; the larger rear garden opens onto attractive downland outlooks.
A useful planning consent (Ref SDNP/21/05494/HOUS) is in place until December 2024 to remove the utility/store and build a single‑storey kitchen extension with an eco sedum roof, creating a larger ground‑floor entertaining space. The current owner has upgraded the house with quality fittings including oak worktops and a wood burner, making it move‑in comfortable for families or professionals seeking village life with easy access to Hassocks station and local schools.
Buyers should note a few practical considerations: the property has solid brick walls built before 1900 (insulation not evident), mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators, only one bathroom, and broadband speeds are reported as slow. Parking is on‑street or in the local village car park; the plot is small and maintenance of period fabric will be needed over time. The vendor is willing to discuss re‑applying for planning if consent lapses.
This home will suit buyers looking for a characterful family cottage with scope to enlarge the kitchen, enjoy village amenities on foot, and benefit from National Park surroundings. It is offered chain‑free on freehold title and represents a rare opportunity to secure a period property in an affluent, well‑connected village setting.
