On the edge of a National Park bordered by beaches, in a no through lane this quiet 3 bed terraced house with a west garden, a conservatory and allocated parking space is a great find. With the high street shops, cafés, bistro pubs and theatre of the popular village of ‘Hurst’ at the end of a pathway a few doors up, it’s ideal for professionals and families of any age as the local primary school is a 5-6 min walk (2 by car), a choice of secondary schools both state and private are within a 10-15 min radius and Hassock Station’s direct trains to Brighton, Gatwick and London are about 10 mins by cab or cycle.

Inside has an elegant, contemporary finish where the spacious living room has a limestone fireplace, a sun filled conservatory opens to the large garden for entertaining and the stylish kitchen has a high spec finish. Upstairs, two double bedrooms are light, airy and don’t share a wall as there is a luxury bathroom between them. Spanning the top storey, the beautiful principal bedroom is private with designer wallpaper and a chic en-suite shower room.

About 20 mins from the sea, Hurstpierpoint is a favourite destination for those who want quiet nights but swift access to shops, bistros, schools and recreation grounds with sports facilities and a playground. For hikers, runners, riders and dog owners the countryside of the Hurst Meadows and National Park is close by - but you don’t have to pay the premium price of being in the park itself. Surrounded by towns and villages with their own distinct feel and amenities, between 20 and 40 minutes by car approx., Brighton & Hove, Lewes and Gatwick are a viable commute.

Owner’s secret:
“The house is always inviting come rain or shine. The easy, one level flow of the ground floor is perfect for pets, a growing (or older) family and for entertaining – and the garden has plenty of space to enjoy but it’s easy to look after! Ideal if you work in the city or at the airports there are buses to the station’s direct trains if you don’t want to drive - about 15 mins. If you have children, there’s a good school around the corner and it’s easy to meet other local families either at the school gate or in the local parks. The area is safe and quiet – especially as we only have a few, friendly neighbours, and good for dogs and kids, there’s easy access to nature with countryside walks on the doorstep and the beaches and water sports of Hove are between 20-30 mins drive.”
