The Twitten, Ditchling

A significantly updated and extended period house, arranged over 3 floors occupying a private and central spot within the village and having glorious views of the South Downs

Ditchling, nestled within the South Downs National Park, is a historic village playing host to a selection of local shops, cafes, a church, and two public houses including The Bull, an award-winning gastro pub. The larger village of Hassocks is a short drive away, as is the city of Brighton and Hove, both offering mainline train connections to London and a greater array of shops and restaurants. This area of Sussex also benefits from a variety of superb private and state schools for all ages, all within easy reach of the village.

With origins dating back to 1896, this privately positioned semi detached Victorian property is arranged over 3 floors and has been skilfully extended and enlarged blending period features of its era with a modern extension and contemporary fixtures and fittings. There are 2 reception rooms on the ground floor with central open fireplaces and the sitting room benefits from french doors leading out onto the private gardens. A well thought out and executed extension forms a fantastic kitchen with bi-fold doors cleverly incorporating seating areas and bringing the outside in. A central island unit with breakfast bar and range of integrated appliances including an Aga complement the kitchen. 2 wonderfully light double bedrooms reside on the first floor along with a stylish bathroom with sumptuous free standing bath and separate shower. Stairs from the first floor lead up to a further bedroom with far reaching panoramic views towards the South Downs. The gardens to the property are predominantly to the south and comprise of a terrace, an area of lawn, well stocked shrub and plant borders and established trees. There is the benefit of a detached timber studio which can be used for a multitude of purposes.
