Agent Says:
“A rare find, houses in this quiet, no through road equidistant from Hurstpierpoint’s shops and Hassock’s High Street and station do not appear on the market very often.”

Owner’s Secret:
“Easy to live in as well as to welcome friends with spacious, versatile rooms and a social flow to the garden, family life is easy with the park, good schools and shops all so close. The house is warm in winter and airy in summer, and we have enjoyed the privacy of the garden and ease of parking in a very private and leafy environment. This is a wonderful place to live with a friendly community, the beautiful countryside ( and Jack and Jill windmills) of the National Park on your doorstep but easy access to the city and the sea.”
