Gatehouse Lane, Burgess Hill, West Sussex

A particularly attractive 4 bedroom detached cottage standing in a good size south facing plot within this select no through lane on the western outskirts of town. Although the house was extended to the side THERE IS ENORMOUS SCOPE TO EXTEND FURTHER IF REQUIRED S.T.P.P.

The property is one of only 5 built in 1931 and the current owner has been in residence since 1968.  St Pauls Catholic College, the Triangle Leisure Centre, 2 pubs and a local surgery/pharmacy are all within easy walking distance.  The town centre and mainline railway station are 1.5 miles away.


The accommodation which requires updating includes a stable door opening to an enclosed porch which in turn leads to an entrance hall with stairs to the first floor.  The downstairs bathroom has been refitted with a white suite and the kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a range of pine cupboards.  From this room there is access to a utility room/study.  A rear lobby leads from the kitchen/breakfast room with a door to the garden. 

The dual aspect sitting room has double doors that lead to the rear garden with an open fireplace with brick surround.  Sliding doors open to a dual aspect dining room that is currently used as a downstairs bedroom. 

On the first floor there are 4 bedrooms and a cloakroom/wc.  

Outside the property is approached under a pitched roof porch with oak pillars, leading to a driveway with parking for 3 cars and to the garage.  The front garden is well shielded from the lane by mature hedging.  A particular feature however is the cottage style south facing rear garden that measures 62’ x 60’.  A full width crazy paved patio abuts the cottage on 2 levels, partially covered by a pergola with a mature climbing Wisteria.  The remainder is laid to level lawn with rose and flower borders.  Greenhouse and timber shed.  Outside tap. Side gate. 

Benefits include gas fired central heating (the Glow Worm boiler is located in the kitchen/breakfast room) and uPVC framed double glazed windows.
