The larger village of Hassocks with its mainline train station provides regular rail services to London. There are also a range of revered state and private schools locally.

Occupying a prominent yet remarkably private position in the heart of the village, ‘Vine House’ is an elegant Grade II listed semi-detached residence dating from the early 19th Century. Beautifully combining period grandeur with contemporary comfort, this exceptional home has been thoughtfully restored and sympathetically remodelled to create a stunning family home extending to approximately 3,146 sq ft, including the garage and outbuildings. Rich in character and architectural detail, the property retains many of its original features, including a magnificent sweeping staircase, impressive ceiling heights, open fireplaces and a substantial cellar. The accommodation is both generous and versatile, arranged over three floors and perfectly suited to modern family life. To the front of the property, the elegant sitting room is flooded with natural light from floor to ceiling glazed doors that open onto the striking wrought-iron veranda. A separate family room provides additional reception space and leads through to the impressive kitchen/breakfast room, where a bespoke ‘Neptune’ kitchen forms the centrepiece. Thoughtfully designed for everyday living and entertaining alike, this space opens directly onto the rear terrace and landscaped rear garden. The substantial cellar has been cleverly enhanced to provide extensive storage together with a comprehensive utility area and direct access to the garden. The first floor offers four well-proportioned double bedrooms, served by two beautifully appointed bathrooms, both recently updated and featuring freestanding baths and electric underfloor heating. Outside, the walled rear garden has been carefully landscaped to complement the character of the house. An original brick block terrace provides an ideal setting for outdoor dining and entertaining, before leading onto a generous expanse of lawn, bordered by mature trees, established planting and specimen shrubs. A vine covered pergola creates a charming focal point, while the detached summer house, complete with light and power, offers excellent flexibility and has multitude of uses. To the front, a gravel driveway provides off street parking and access to the garage.
