Property description

A most attractive 4 bedroom detached lodge built in 1850, having been skilfully extended and tastefully upgraded by the present owners, which now cleverly combines a contemporary and character feel, situated adjacent to Burgess Hill School for Girls within a moments walk of the mainline station. The property offers versatile space, offering a potential annexe/teenagers living area.  The deceptively spacious accommodation comprises an entrance hall, a downstairs bathroom and a studio/playroom.   The kitchen is fitted with oak units and integrated appliances including a fridge, freezer, and dishwasher with granite worktops and a range cooker.  Doors lead into the conservatory which has a glass roof and doors out to the rear garden.  There is also a fabulous living room with a high vaulted ceiling, exposed timbers and a feature wood burning stove, with doors to a light and airy study area which in turn flows into an impressive family room which has a vaulted ceiling with exposed timbers, underfloor heating and bifold doors opening onto the rear garden.  There is also a superb bath/shower room (new in 2010) with a double shower cubicle, a jacuzzi/spa bath with built-in MP3 player, speakers and lights, a wc and washbasin and a downstairs bedroom.  Stairs rise from the living room to the first floor which has 3 double bedrooms (one of which has access bedroom 2).

Outside a private driveway provides off road parking with a side access gate to the impressive 93’ x 52’ south facing rear garden which has a large patio abutting the rear of the property flanked by a brick retaining wall with steps upto the remainder of the garden which is mainly laid to lawn.  Two vegetable plots, an abundance of flowers, plants and trees including an apple, plum and rare handkerchief tree.  The whole is enclosed by wood panelled fencing and mature hedging offering a good degree of seclusion.
