Cuckfield Park, South Street, Cuckfield, RH17

White Cottage is located in the glorious grounds of Cuckfield Park, but the plot is set to the west and offers privacy and seclusion.

The property is beautifully presented throughout with the original cottage dating from the 16th century with later additions, including a large two storey, oak clad extension to the north/east/west elevation of the house.

The original cottage is a traditional oak framed structure, with a tile hung roof and an oak pitched front porch. The property now offers wonderful accommodation throughout and includes a beautiful sitting room with feature bay window and open fire and a lovely dining room to the other end with original inglenook fireplace. The stunning new kitchen / breakfast / sitting room has large oak framed windows affording views across the incredible grounds and the lake beyond. The kitchen has been fitted with bespoke units and a range cooker. The breakfast / sitting room offer ample room for entertaining and family life and is filled with natural light.

Leading up the stairs to the first-floor landing are four bedrooms and two bathrooms. The beautiful, vaulted, principal bedroom suite comprises a dressing room with fitted storage and an ensuite shower room. To the west elevation is a viewing balcony which opens up the views beyond, over the grounds and lake. There are three additional double bedrooms, two with bay windows and a lovely, family bathroom.

Leading up the stairs to the second floor are two inter-connecting attic rooms, which could be used as additional bedrooms, hobby room or playroom.

White Cottage is a magical property, where old meets new seamlessly, and offers well-proportioned accommodation with beautiful interiors and oak framed detail. Viewing is a must.

White Cottage is located within the grounds of the majestic Cuckfield Park estate. Set to the west of the main house the property is approached over its own gravel driveway leading to a double garage and parking. Set back from the other houses, White Cottage offers privacy, set in its own 0.595 acres of gardens, but enjoys the delights and splendour of Cuckfield Park's grounds and lakes.

The gardens are beautifully planted with mature, herbaceous borders, lawns and parterres and wide stone terraces to the west and south, perfect for entertaining and alfresco dining and enjoying the glorious gardens and peaceful setting.

The location of White Cottage is superb, offering seclusion and privacy but with its own, beautifully landscaped gardens and a very short walk to Cuckfield village high street.
