Character Cottage - If you're looking for a charming period cottage in the very heart of quintessential Hurstpierpoint then 171 High Street will surely be of interest to you. This Grade II-listed terrace forms part of a handsome run stone cottages whose origins lie in the late Georgian period, later enriched with subtle Gothic-revival detailing, forming a quietly dignified piece of the village’s architectural and social history.

Upon entry you step into a small hall that provides separation from the kitchen and living space, acting as a buffer from the street.

The kitchen is simple and well considered, arranged around a practical U-shaped layout. Timber cabinetry in a warm, natural finish sits comfortably within the space, paired with pale worktops and softly glazed tiles laid in a clean, linear pattern. A recessed cooking area beneath a modest extractor hood creates a natural centre point, while traditional cupboard doors and unfussy hardware give the room a calm, functional feel.

The main living space is a generous space with the sitting room flowing naturally into a dining area beyond. At its heart, a simple fireplace which provides a gentle focal point, lending warmth and a sense of tradition to the room. Light enters from a large window at the far end, drawing the eye through the room and reinforcing its sense of openness and it is larger than many of the neighbouring cottages as it has been extended in the past.

On the first floor there are two bedrooms and a stylish, modern shower room. It is worth noting that many of these homes have ground floor bathrooms, but the extension and previous reconfiguration has improved the layout greatly. The main bedroom is a double room with alcove perfect for a built in wardrobe. The cast iron fireplace provides a characterful focal point. The second bedroom is a generous single and ideal for visiting guests or as a work-from-home space.

Step Outside - To the rear is a small courtyard garden. The paved nature means any upkeep is minimal and it is a pleasant spot to sit and relax on a balmy summer's evening. Handily, there is gated rear access too.

The home is offered for sale chain free meaning a swift move is possible.
