Strawlands, Plumpton Green, BN7

A 3 bedroom semi detached Victorian cottage built in approximately 1900 and extended to create a full height side extension. Our vendors have been in residence since 2003 and although they have carried out modernisations they have been careful to retain much of the character typical of the era to include fireplaces and sash windows in wooden frames.

Situated in a quiet private lane made up of only a few houses just off the centre of this thriving village, which borders on the South Downs National Park and hosts the famous race course, the house is a short walk from the village shop, primary school and pub, and the railway station, with hourly direct train services to London Victoria (50 mins), Lewes, Eastbourne and Hastings.

The accommodation comprises an entrance hall with stairs to the first floor. The kitchen was refitted in 2022 with a good range of cream cupboards complemented by wooden worksurfaces and an integrated electric ‘Cookmaster’ Aga style oven. From this room there is access to a utility room/workshop, a cloakroom/wc and a study (all part of the extension). The dual aspect lounge/dining room spans the length of the cottage with a brick fireplace with inset log burner and a cast iron fireplace in the dining room.

On the first floor there are 3 bedrooms, 2 with fireplaces and 2 with views to the South Downs. The bathroom is fitted with a white suite to include a cast iron bath.

To the front, a private drive with space for two cars is flanked by the south-facing garden with brick-patio rose bed and borders. A side gate leads to the north-facing 35’ x 35’ rear garden, with a block-paved patio, raised beds to side and rear, and mature shrub border. The rest is laid to lawn. Timber shed, outside tap, external oil-fired boiler and oil tank.

Benefits include oil fired central heating and sealed unit double glazed (to most rooms) wooded framed sash windows.
