4 bedroom terraced house for sale

Marcus Grimes are delighted to bring this attractive 4 bedroom family house to the market with the benefit of a double garage and workshop, ample parking and an enclosed paddock. In all about 0.75 of an acre. The views from the house to the north and west are uninterrupted across neighbouring countryside and farmland. Built in the early 1900's this Edwardian terrace stands a mile and a half from Cuckfield High Street, within a rural setting. The end houses have been carefully and substantially extended in a similar architectural style.

Today, the property offers just over 1500 sqft of modernised and well presented family accommodation across three floors. Planning consent was granted under application number DM/21/2761 by Mid Sussex District Council to provide a fantastic 8m x 4.9m single storey extension with bi folds and roof skylights creating an exceptional daytime living kitchen diner maximizing the views across the property's land and beyond. The consent also included permission to convert the existing timber garages and store into a home office and garden room, which would provide a plethora of facility options. The vendors have taken professional advice to explore the possibilities of an extension into the roof and subject to consent have been told a new master suite or two further bedrooms and a bathroom could be created.

The land that adjoins the house extends to about half an acre and provides numerous options for a smallholder, such as keeping a pony, sheep or similar together with an enclosed dog run. There is plenty of space for a stable or field shelter, subject to consent. The outer areas of the field might be lettable from the adjoining farmer,  taking the holding up to about an acre.

In brief, the accommodation is set out as follows; the front door is to the northeast elevation and opens into a hall with stairs to first floor and the cloakroom on the right hand side. Doors open to the kitchen directly in front or the sitting room on the immediately lefthand side. A connecting doors leads from the sitting room into the dining room which links back to the kitchen. Upstairs the first floor has three good sized bedrooms and a family bathroom with stairs off the landing leading to a second floor bedroom. Outside the garage block is constructed in timber offering two garages and a lockable store. Formal gardens sit to the north and east offering much seclusion from high hedging and mature trees. Two areas of raised decking offer sunny spots to enjoy alfresco dining and relaxing. the driveway from the road is shared by the three cottages until it reaches the subject property where an expansive area of gravel provides parking and turning for several cars. The paddock lies across from the driveway and is laid to grass with a small orchard including plum, apple, cherry and apricot. An ideal additional recreation area or grazing for a pony or similar with stunning westerly views across the adjoining farmland.
