5 bed detached house for sale

Semley Road, Hassocks BN6

A distinctive period detached house, ideally positioned within minutes’ walk of the mainline station, set within a generous plot with beautifully landscaped gardens and ample off street parking

Hassocks is a vibrant village with a bustling High Street including cafés, a deli, butchers, bakers, post office, restaurants and public houses. Its mainline train station provides regular rail services to London, Brighton and Gatwick. There are also a range of revered state and private schools locally.

Positioned in a highly sought after and enviable location just a short walk from the mainline station, this exceptional detached family home has been thoughtfully extended and impeccably maintained to offer beautifully balanced and versatile accommodation of considerable appeal. The ground floor provides a superb arrangement of living space, including a generous double aspect sitting room with high ceilings, a feature fireplace and French doors opening onto the rear terrace, alongside a separate study. At the heart of the home lies an impressive open plan kitchen/dining room designed for modern living, complete with a central island and ample space for both everyday family life and entertaining. A separate utility room offers additional practicality. Upstairs, a central staircase rises to four well proportioned bedrooms on the first floor served by a stylish family bathroom and an en-suite shower room to the guest bedroom. The principal suite occupies the top floor enjoying a sense of privacy and featuring fitted wardrobes and its own en-suite shower room. There is lapsed planning permission for a single storey rear extension and a first floor side extension with Juliette balcony (above existing garage) and new pitched roof to remaining garage (Planning ref: DM/19/3700). Set within a generous plot of approximately 0.4 acres, the rear garden is a particular highlight. Predominantly laid to lawn and framed by mature planting and specimen trees, it offers both a retreat for any decerning gardener and an ideal space for families. A raised terrace accessed directly from the sitting room and kitchen provides an excellent setting for outdoor dining, complemented by a further secluded seating area within the garden. To the front, a spacious driveway affords ample off-street parking and leads to an attached double garage.
