Welcome Home... - Welcome to 1 Highbury Cottage where period charm couples with modernity and tasteful interiors to offer a quintessential village lifestyle on the beautiful village green in the heart of Horsted Keynes. You are just moments from two superb village pubs, the village store, beautiful Sussex countryside and a highly regarded village primary school - this really is village life personified.

The original parts of the home are believed to date from the late 19th century and there have been various later additions that mean the home now offers spacious, well-arranged accommodation that is perfect for both entertaining and family living alike.

Spaciousness & Versatility.... - At over 1,900 sq ft there is plenty of space and versatility on offer. At 21ft, the sitting room is generously sized but this does not lessen the feeling of cosiness and the triple aspect means there is plenty of natural light. French doors connect the room with the outside terrace and the faux fireplace provides a natural focal point.

Just over the hall you have the family room giving that extra flexibility – great for children. There is an open fireplace, perfect for a chilly winter’s evening and lovely outlook over the pretty cottage garden to the front.

Farmhouse Kitchen... - Everyone loves an open plan kitchen/diner and this farmhouse style country kitchen is a fabulous space. The bespoke “shaker style” cabinetry is hand-crafted by Woodworks of Lewes, painted in Farrow & Ball Cream and is timeless whilst the granite worktops add a touch of opulence. The central island provides a breakfast bar, great for those busy mornings and the triple oven Aga has a double hot plate and is great for a keen cook. There is also plenty of space for a sizable dining table making this a great spot for hosting friends & family.

Just off the kitchen you have a separate utility room with space and plumbing in place for washing machine and tumble dryer. The side door is incredibly handy, particularly after a muddy walk in the fields with the dogs. There is also on the ground floor cloakroom with useful built in storage.

Let Me Entertain You... - For those who do love to entertain, the bi-fold doors open out from the kitchen and into a brilliant covered entertainment area with fitted bar, which in turn opens on to the garden - perfect for a party!

Off To Bed... - Heading upstairs, you’re met by a spacious landing that leads to each of the four bedrooms – each a good size.

The master bedroom has the most delightful of views and enjoys an extensive range of fitted wardrobes. A “secret door” leads through into the hidden ensuite bathroom.

The second bedroom is a great room for a child, extending to nearly 19ft with a mezzanine level, perfect as a study area. The original fireplace adds a characterful touch.

The third and fourth bedrooms are conventional doubles, again with nice outlooks.

Bedroom 2, 3 and 4 are all served by the stunning wet room shower room with heated towel rail to keep the towels warm & fluffy.

The house has oil fired central heating, is fully double glazed and presented in first class order making it perfect for anyone looking for a “turn key” character home in a village location. For those who work from home there is a Superfast broadband connection available.

Outside Oasis... - Outside you have the most beautiful cottage gardens that wrap around to three sides (including the covered area). You are well screened with established hedging and there is a plethora of pretty planting. The paved terrace faces west, meaning you have plenty of afternoon/evening sunshine that makes it the ideal spot for a barbecue.

This gorgeous garden really is an outside oasis.
