Quintessentially British, situated directly on Hurstpierpoint High Street, and dating back to the 18th century, Hunters presents this stunning 3 bedroom cottage featuring a charming walled rear garden, and versatile accommodation across 4 floors.

This mid-18th century three-bedroom character home exudes charm inside and out, complemented by a separate annexe/outbuilding at the rear.

Hurstpierpoint offers an array of quaint vintage boutiques, fine dining establishments, family-owned pubs, and historical landmarks. Just a stone's throw away lies Hassocks, a treasure trove of retail shops, cafes, restaurants, cozy pubs, and convenience stores. The proximity of Hassocks Train Station, just a short drive from the town, adds to the convenience, and the area boasts an enchanting collection of rural walks and bridle paths.

Set within a terrace of 18th-century cottages, this well-maintained home is approached via a mature and well-presented front garden, with mature wisteria adorning the front. There is an option to create a driveway at the front, subject to the relevant permissions, and plenty of on-street parking is available nearby. The entrance comprises a brick corridor leading directly to the rear garden, with another door leading into the main house, ideal for storing logs and household items.

Upon entering the main house, a cozy living room faces the front, while a spacious kitchen-diner is situated at the back. Between them is access to the basement, which has a window to the front and has been tanked to create an extra room for storage or a second reception room/guest bedroom. The spacious kitchen-diner features elegant oak flooring throughout, complemented by oak worktops and cream shaker-style cabinets. It is equipped with essential appliances such as a built-in freezer, butler sink, dishwasher, and washing machine, along with ample space for a tall standing fridge freezer and a gas range oven. French double doors lead from the kitchen to the garden, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor dining experience. The living room at the front exudes a cozy ambiance, accentuated by a working wood-burning fireplace and storage alcoves on either side.

The first floor accommodates two double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The second bedroom has a flight of stairs to the loft room, which has been converted with a large dormer window overlooking the garden, providing ample head height and two eaves storage spaces. This layout can either function as three separate bedrooms or a luxurious second bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe or study room.

The family bathroom features panelled walls, spotlights, and oak flooring, and includes a walk-in shower, jacuzzi bath with handheld shower head, toilet, and vanity sink with storage.

Outside, the garden showcases a quintessential English cottage garden, with mature shrubs and bushes, surrounded by an attractive brick wall with climbing roses and a lily pond, perfect for nature lovers. The sizable rear garden includes a separate patio area at the back, ideal for catching the last rays of sunshine at the end of the day. Additionally, there are several sheds/garden storage, a water tap, and the garden is entirely secure.

Further adding to its charm, the property benefits from a self-contained annexe featuring its own water supply, lighting, and electricity. The annexe boasts a stunning flint facade, beams, double-glazed windows, and underfloor heating, making it an ideal space for an office, AirBnB, or fourth bedroom. The annexe has its own shower room with a large walk-in shower, toilet, sink, and Velux window.
