It’s like stepping outside into your own private village oasis with manicured lawns and flower beds, carefully designed seating areas, perfect for reading a book or hosting a garden party, these beautiful grounds do not disappoint.
There is a paved parking area for several vehicles, a double bay garage with greenhouse and an additional garage currently offering three large ground floor spaces and an upstairs studio. The gardens provide a very special and secluded setting for this beautiful village home in the heart of Cuckfield, West Sussex.
Ockenden Cottage is located to the southern end of the charming village of Cuckfield, located in the heart of Mid-Sussex, but less than an hour from London and 20 mins from Brighton and Gatwick Airport.
