Mead Cottage is a lovely Grade II listed village house coming to the market for the first time in over 40 years. Built in the 16th century, the property is a timber framed building refronted in C19 and restored in C20. The ground floor is red brick, with partial header bond, on sandstone plinth. The original doorcase has been removed and the entrance is now in a C20 1 storey brick extension to the side.

The house is located in the highly sought after village of Lindfield and is just a stone's throw from the high street. The ground floor has three good-sized reception rooms, currently used as a formal sitting and dining room. The sitting room features the original inglenook fireplace with wood burning stove.

There is a double aspect kitchen/breakfast room with side access to the rear garden and there is a beautiful double aspect oak framed conservatory next to it which offers views across the garden. A downstairs cloakroom and a large cellar spanning the width of the house complete the ground and lower ground floors.

The first floor is approached via a central staircase to a landing with three bedrooms leading off it, and a family bathroom. Further along the hallway is a staircase leading to the second-floor attic room which is a major feature of the property and runs the entire length of the house, offering great versatility for extra bedrooms, a playroom or studio.

Mead Cottage is approached to the side and offers off-street parking for two vehicles, a single garage and side access to the wonderful rear garden. A feature of the property is the beautiful mature garden of circa quarter of an acre. There is a large lawned area, a plethora of mature specimen trees, herbaceous and perennial borders, vegetable patch and shed.

Lindfield is a highly popular and picturesque village and provides a wide variety of shops, restaurants, public houses, a supermarket, medical centre and village hall.
