Description

Guide Price £1,000,000 - £1,100,000. Occupying a wonderfully private and secluded position along a quiet country lane, this enchanting Grade II listed detached cottage, together with its separate, converted barn annexe, is set within beautifully established grounds approaching half an acre. Believed to date back in part to the 17th century, the home blends traditional craftsmanship with a timeless country aesthetic. A wealth of original features are found throughout, including exposed beams, leaded light windows, and an impressive Inglenook fireplace that forms the focal point of the spacious sitting room.

The heart of the home is a bespoke country-style kitchen, thoughtfully designed to provide an open-plan space for cooking, dining and informal entertaining. This inviting area flows effortlessly into a delightful breakfast/dining zone, creating a warm and social atmosphere. The sitting room provides double doors that open onto the rear terrace, allowing for an easy transition between indoor and outdoor living. There is also a cosy second reception room with an open fireplace and a traditional cottage front door. A well-appointed family bathroom completes the ground floor accommodation.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom benefits from its own en-suite shower room and large window overlooking a mature magnolia tree. The two further double bedrooms offer charming views over the gardens. The property is equipped with Calor gas-fired central heating and mains drainage. Leaded light and part secondary-glazed windows further enhance the cottage’s period feel. There is also considerable scope to extend the main house, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions, offering the opportunity to tailor the home further to individual requirements.
Discreetly positioned opposite the main residence, the detached 2 bedroom annexe, which was formerly a stable block, has been sympathetically converted to provide independent living accommodation. With its own private entrance area, parking and gardens space, this delightful single-storey dwelling is ideal for guest accommodation, multigenerational living or holiday letting.

The annexe offers two comfortable double bedrooms and a well-appointed steam/shower room. A light-filled sitting room, incorporating a conservatory area, provides a peaceful retreat with views over the garden. There is also a well-appointed kitchen, perfect for casual entertaining. Original features have been retained, lending the space a sense of heritage, while electric heating, conservatory roof insultation and heat reflecting window blinds ensure year-round comfort.

The house and annexe sit within an attractive semi-rural plot of approximately half an acre, providing a high degree of privacy and seclusion. Approached via a long sweeping shingle driveway, the grounds are beautifully landscaped, with mature planting and well-maintained lawns to the front, side and rear. An expansive west-facing patio at the rear of the main house offers a delightful setting for outdoor dining and entertaining. The gardens are both practical and picturesque, ideal for those seeking a peaceful countryside lifestyle. A range of outbuildings, including a workshop/store and summerhouse, add to the versatility of the outside space.

Location
The property enjoys a peaceful yet well-connected setting, with scenic countryside walks and dog-friendly trails accessible directly from the doorstep. The village of Bolney offers a traditional pub, a popular recreation ground, the award-winning Bolney Wine Estate with its vineyard café and the Cider Tap with pizza restaurant and coffee house, all within walking distance. Cuckfield, just four miles away, provides boutique shops and cafés, while the larger town of Haywards Heath offers a full range of amenities and a mainline station with fast links to London Victoria and London Bridge. The A23/M23 is close by, giving easy access to Brighton, Gatwick, and the national motorway network. The area is well served by excellent schools, including Bolney CE Primary, Handcross Park, Hurstpierpoint College, Ardingly College, and Brighton College, making this an ideal location for families seeking both rural charm and everyday convenience.
