Bordering the rolling hills of the South Downs National Park, but with excellent train and road links into London or to the coast, the residents of Hurstpierpoint get the best of town and country life. It is undoubtedly one of the most prestigious and picturesque villages in Sussex, with a vibrant village high street and a palpable sense of community which has led to its popularity for families and professionals alike.
Beautifully presented throughout, this deceptively spacious three-bedroom family home sits within easy walking distance of excellent schools, the countryside and the high street. It has been a wonderful family home for the last 18-years, in which time the current owners have modernised and redecorated to create a space which feels both homely and stylish. South facing, the large rear garden is a treat for the senses and there is parking on the drive for two cars, making this the ideal space to raise children, to work from home or relax in the peace and tranquillity of the countryside.

Why you’ll like it:
Set back from the road behind a parking forecourt and a leafy front garden, this semi-detached family home has country charm with a part timber clad façade in white. Stepping inside it feels immediately welcoming and homely having been beautifully maintained by the current owner who has a keen eye for interiors. Passing a vast storage cupboard adjoining the entrance (ideal for bikes/buggies/boots etc), the entrance hall leads directly to the sitting room with dual aspect windows framing verdant views over the gardens. This room invites relaxation on sumptuous furnishings around the wood burning stove, adding warmth and atmosphere to wintery evenings. There is ample space for a dining table and chairs to one side of the room, ideal for families or dinner parties, while there is space for informal dining in the kitchen too.

This room is well-appointed with base level Shaker cabinetry in grey, while the upper levels have open shelving which adds to the countryside scheme and brings a feeling of space. White metro brick splashbacks bring both form and function to the room while the solid oak worktops echo the floor. Within the units, several appliances have been integrated to include a fan oven and gas hob, leaving space for a dishwasher. Additional storage for dry food stuffs, crockery and extra appliances can be found in the adjoining pantry.

Outside, the garden is simply magical with a large area of lawn bordered by lush greenery which is ever changing with the seasons and surprisingly low maintenance. You are not overlooked here in the slightest and with a southerly aspect, the entire garden is a suntrap during high season, welcomed by wildlife and sunworshippers alike. There is plenty of space for children to play in safety, and a patio sits close to the house for alfresco dining. With so much space to play with, you could even extend the ground floor or add a garden office or summer house without compromising on lawn space.

Returning inside, there are two beautiful double bedrooms on the first floor with charming views over the local landscape and gardens. They have easy access to the bathroom across the hall which has a smart white bath suite with space to bathe little ones and a shower over it for when time is of the essence. The principal bedroom spans the entire top floor with both Velux and dormer windows from which the views come into their own. From your bed you can watch the clouds or stars drift by and in summer, with the windows ajar, you will wake to birdsong – pure bliss.
Agent’s thoughts:

This house offers excellent value for such a hugely sought after location, close to excellent schools and amenities. It is immaculate throughout with a glorious garden, so it will appeal to those looking to move straight into a place without needing to change a thing.

Owner’s thoughts:

“We never thought we would end up spending 19-years here, but we have loved every minute. The people, the location and the house itself are all so welcoming and we have adored spending long summers in the garden, hosting summer parties (and raising chickens)! It is really quiet and peaceful here, yet there is a community spirit and lots going on in the village, plus you are so well connected to Brighton, London and the surrounding towns, you don’t feel out in the sticks.”
