Orchard Lane, Hassocks, BN6

A rare opportunity to acquire two homes on one plot in a central position, less than half a mile (on foot) from Hassocks’ station and with close proximity to Adastra Park. The properties occupy a good-size plot with parking and garden on a private road, and both are entirely self contained making it ideal as an investment opportunity to let one or both, for multi-generational living with older children, grandparents or an au pair living at home, or as a holiday let. Both properties have been well maintained with scope for updating and/or full renovation (subject to permissions).
The main house is Victorian and arranged mostly on the ground floor, which comprises a large sitting room, dining room, kitchen, cloakroom with WC and the principal bedroom with dressing room and en suite bath/shower room. Upstairs there are two further double bedrooms, eaves storage and a family bathroom. There is a useful loft space which could be converted into office space or further living space.
Annandale Cottage is completely detached and comprises two good-size reception rooms, a kitchen and utility room/WC, with three double bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs.

Outside

The plot is generously sized and approached via a
driveway shared by both houses, which has ample
space for parking. The main residence has an
attached double garage with an adjoining workshop,
which offers great scope for conversion (stnc). The
gardens are situated to the front of the house and
are lawned with mature hedges around the borders
and a variety of flowerbeds and shrubs.
There is also a greenhouse. The detached cottage
has its own terrace accessed from the sitting room.

Situation

Orchard Lane is a popular private residential road
that runs along the west side of Adastra Park, which
has plentiful leisure facilities including cricket and
football pitches, tennis courts, a bowling green,
skatepark and children’s play area.
There are many shops, cafes and pubs on Keymer
Road at the southern end of Orchard Lane, which
eventually leads to Hassocks train station (services
to London Bridge/Victoria in about 55 minutes). The
city of Brighton and the South Coast are about nine
miles distant. The M23/A23 provides good access
to Gatwick and the national motorway network.
There are a number of excellent schools in the area,
including Downlands Community Secondary School,
Hurstpierpoint College, Burgess Hill School for Girls
and Brighton College.
