North End, Ditchling

A beautifully presented, unique Grade II listed former Blacksmith, centrally located within the village benefiting from a courtyard garden and off street parking for 2 cars

Ditchling, with its beautiful views of the South Downs, is a historic village playing host to a selection of local shops, cafés, a church, and two public houses including The Bull, an award-winning gastro pub. The larger village of Hassocks, with its mainline train station, is a short drive away and provides regular rail services to London and a more comprehensive array of shops. The local area benefits from a range of outstanding state and private schools for all ages.

Centrally located within the village, this unique Grade II listed home is exceptionally well presented and offers wonderfully light accommodation. Alluding to its name, the property historically was the village Blacksmiths, evolving over the years but retaining a wealth of character including vaulted ceilings and exposed beams. The reception space on the ground floor comprises a sitting room and a large open plan kitchen/dining/family room. The handmade kitchen has been fitted around the original fireplace and benefits from granite worksurfaces and a range of integrated appliances. There are 2 bedrooms with the principal bedroom serviced by an en-suite shower room and the galleried bedroom having a glorious outlook over the kitchen/dining room/ family area. The family bathroom is fully tiled and benefits from a freestanding roll top bath. The property is heated via underfloor heating. A fully brick paved courtyard garden extends to the east with a glorious focal twisted hazel tree. A driveway at the side of the property provides off street parking for 2 cars.
