The Twitten, Ditchling BN6

A well extended, semi detached Victorian property within minutes walk of the High Street and with the benefit of private gardens, a detached studio and beautiful views of the South Downs

Ditchling, with its beautiful views of the South Downs, is a historic village playing host to a selection of local shops, cafés, a church, and two public houses including The Bull, an award-winning gastro pub. The larger village of Hassocks, with its mainline train station, is a short drive away and provides regular rail services to London and a more comprehensive array of shops. The local area benefits from a range of revered state and private schools for all ages.

With origins dating back to 1896 this wonderful Victorian property boasts well-appointed rooms with the addition of a versatile private studio within the gardens. Bearing all the hallmarks of its era including cast iron fireplaces and high ceilings the property has been extended with accommodation arranged over 3 floors. There are 2 reception rooms on the ground floor with the sitting room, flooded with light from the large bay window residing at the front. The kitchen/breakfast room is at the rear of the property with a central island unit, fitted appliances and a useful utility room and cloakroom/W.C. On the first floor there are 2 bedrooms and a family bathroom benefiting from both a free-standing bath and separate shower. Stairs from the landing rise to a shower room and bedroom 3 on the second floor. It should be noted that the south facing bedrooms boast glorious views of the South Downs. The private, walled gardens extend to 3 sides of the property and are predominantly laid to lawn with a range of English cottage garden planting, including well stocked beds, borders and hedgerow. A timber studio with light and power resides at the end of the front garden and provides a space with a multitude of uses.
