Inside, it has been well maintained for many years, so you can simply move in, yet there remains huge potential for modernisation and reconfiguration to create either a third bedroom or an open plan kitchen dining room. It also boasts a Share of the Freehold, so approvals for renovations are easier to come by.

Why you’ll like it:
Conveniently located around the corner from Hurst High Street, the apartments of West Furlong Court are set in the heart of the village. This generous apartment enjoys easy access on the ground floor forming part of this smart, low-rise development with a welcoming community of homeowners, tenants, retirees and professionals. While parking is free in the surrounding roads, this property comes with a private garage, ideal as a storage space for those without a car.

Stepping inside, there is space to hang coats in the entrance hall which has a useful cloakroom, and the kitchen directly ahead. Well-designed, allowing for plenty of storage alongside an integrated fridge and space for a cooker, the kitchen has a hatch through to the dining room next door. It would be possible to open these rooms to create one bright and modern kitchen dining room which would also have space for working from home if needed. This would add considerable value and would create a lovely sociable space, ready for the modern lifestyle.

Adjoining the dining room, the living room is homely with a wide bay window looking out over the peaceful street. This brings in a lovely light throughout the day, where there is ample space for complete relaxation by the gas fire, bringing warmth and atmosphere to wintery evenings.

From the dining room, a door opens to another short corridor with a built-in linen cupboard and access to both bedrooms and the bathroom. Modern ceramic tiles in pale stone line the walls around the spacious shower cubical and built-in cabinetry below the sink and within the mirrored cabinet provides a wealth of storage for toiletries. Both bedrooms are double with space for freestanding wardrobes, and both have energy efficient double glazing to ensure a warm and rested night’s sleep.

This apartment will appeal on so many levels as it has potential to add value and it is brilliantly located in a prestigious location. The layout offers huge versatility, and it has been well maintained, so any work undertaken is purely cosmetic, to put your own stamp on the place.

Hurstpierpoint sits on the cusp of The South Downs National Park and is a hugely attractive village with a plethora of well-established and highly acclaimed restaurants, cafes and pubs to be enjoyed.

You can visit the coast within 20 minutes by train or car, and Gatwick Airport is just 30 minutes away for those who need it, so you really do have the best of all worlds here.
