College Road, Ardingly, RH17

Superbly situated close to the centre of Ardingly is this charming three bedroom character cottage, which is perfectly placed to enjoy all the many highlights of this much sought-after village. The mid-terrace property is built in the traditional Sussex vernacular, of brick and partially tile-hung elevations, and delightful dormer windows peeking out from under a tile roof. The cottage is situated in a short row of similar properties, with parking accessible at the rear via a private road. The property has been extended to the rear and is deceptively spacious internally, offering about 1277 sq ft of space including two reception rooms and four bedrooms upstairs. Internally it is well presented, with modern additions complementing character features such as a brick fireplace and exposed beams, and there is untapped potential for improvement by the new owner.
The layout comprises an entrance hall leading to a sitting room with storage cupboard and an office/snug which opens to the open plan kitchen/dining room, which is decorated in a traditional farmhouse style with wooden cabinets and a Belfast sink. There is also a useful cloakroom with WC. On the first floor there are four bedrooms, two of which are interconnecting, plus a family bathroom.

Outside

To the front there is a pretty garden set behind a mature beech hedge, with a set of steps leading down to the road level affording pedestrian access. The parking for the property is situated to the rear, which can be accessed via a private road ‘The Close’, which leads along the back of the gardens to a gravel parking area where there is space for several cars. The rear garden is an excellent size and is enclosed by hedging to either side, with a paved terrace adjoining the house and an area of lawn towards the rear. There are a number of trees and borders, and there is great scope for further landscaping.
