College Lane, Hurstpierpoint

Detached bungalow with GRANTED PLANNING PERMISSION to turn into a stunning four bedroom detached house in sought-after Hurstpierpoint.

Welcome Home - Situated on the ever-popular College Lane in Hurstpierpoint, this attractive 1950s detached bungalow offers well-balanced accommodation, a sunny west-facing garden, and exciting potential for future enlargement, with planning permission already granted to convert the property into a house.

Our clients have significantly improved the property since purchasing in 2021, undertaking a programme of modernisation including a refitted kitchen, updated bathroom, new boiler, rewire and redecoration throughout, creating a bright and welcoming home ready to move straight into, but still with that exciting future potential.

The accommodation is well arranged and extends to approximately 1,059 sq ft, centred around a spacious 16ft reception room which enjoys excellent natural light and opens directly onto the garden through double doors, perfect for everyday living and entertaining alike.

The modernised kitchen is fitted with a range of sleek units, marble-effect worktops and integrated appliances, with space for additional white goods and a door providing access outside.

There are three bedrooms, two of which are comfortable doubles positioned to the front of the bungalow with attractive bay windows, whilst the third bedroom offers flexibility as a smaller double or generous single, nursery or home office.

The bathroom has been stylishly updated with contemporary tiling, a modern vanity unit and bath with shower above. A separate WC sits alongside, adding further practicality for family living.

Step Outside - The west-facing rear garden is a real highlight, enjoying plenty of afternoon and evening sunshine. It is mainly laid to lawn with a paved patio area directly off the reception room — an ideal space for summer dining or relaxing outdoors.

To the front there is driveway parking and a garage, providing useful storage and further scope for alteration if desired.

Scope & Potential - As mentioned, the home already benefits from planning permission to convert the existing bungalow into a substantial two-storey family house, offering an exciting opportunity for buyers looking to create a long-term home. Full plans can be seen on request or you can search the Mid Sussex planning portal using REF: DM/24/1131

The approved plans reconfigure the ground floor to create a superb open-plan kitchen/dining/living space spanning over 26 ft (8 metres) across the rear of the house, designed with wide bi-fold doors opening onto the garden, ideal for modern family living and entertaining. The layout also includes a separate family room and study to the front, along with a practical utility room and ground floor shower room.

The plans introduce a first floor with four well-proportioned bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with its own en-suite shower room, alongside a contemporary family bathroom and useful built-in storage.

Once completed, the property would be transformed from a bungalow into a spacious four-bedroom detached house, significantly increasing both the living space and overall value, whilst retaining the generous plot and west-facing garden. For buyers seeking a home they can enjoy immediately while also having the option to extend and enhance in the future, this represents a particularly appealing opportunity.
