3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Truslers Hill Lane, Albourne, Hassocks, West Sussex BN6

This two/three-bedroom semi-detached cottage combines character and charm with generous outdoor space, featuring several original details such as some exposed timber beams and casement windows. The property is set within extensive gardens and grounds, offering both privacy and versatility.

While some areas would benefit from sympathetic modernisation, the accommodation retains its original character and provides a comfortable and practical living environment. The ground floor includes four versatile reception rooms, well suited to everyday family life. These comprise a dual-aspect sitting room with south- and east-facing windows that draw in natural light, a family room with a corner fireplace, a dining room adjoining the kitchen, and a conservatory to the rear with direct access to the gardens. The kitchen is fitted with base and wall units, a 1.5 bowl sink with drainer, and space for a cooker beneath an extractor hood, while an adjoining utility room offers further storage and appliance space.

On the first floor, are two well-proportioned double bedrooms, both with dormer windows and built-in storage, one bedroom also providing access to substantial eaves storage. The first floor is completed by the family bathroom.

Steps lead to a gated entrance, which opens onto the front garden, with its pathway to the front door. The front garden has an area of lawn bordered by established hedgerows and shrubs. A driveway to the south leads through the woodland and provides parking and access to the large detached garage. The garden at the rear of the cottage features areas of patio for al fresco dining and a wealth of established shrubs and flowering perennials, with the potential for further landscaping. There is also a small brick-built outhouse and a larger garden store and workshop. To the side, the large area of woodland provides a peaceful and secluded escape, and is a haven for wildlife, and further to the rear is the large 14 acre field.

The property is situated in an idyllic rural position just outside the small village of Albourne and within easy reach of Hurstpierpoint, Hassocks and the sought-after town of Burgess Hill on the edge of the stunning South Downs National Park.
