6 bed semi-detached house for sale

Western Road, Hurstpierpoint, Hassocks, West Sussex BN6

Stylish and beautifully presented Victorian semi-detached house in a sought-after village position.

Description
135 Western Road is an impressive Victorian semi-detached house arranged over three floors, with driveway parking, set in a highly convenient position at the heart of Hurstpierpoint village. From the moment you arrive, the house feels welcoming and well balanced, with a calm, neutral decor palette used throughout that enhances the natural light and allows the period features to take centre stage. The property has been enhanced by a sympathetic and stylish infill extension to the rear on the ground floor, creating a generous open plan kitchen, dining and reception space that works beautifully for everyday family life and entertaining alike.

The house has an interesting history, having been built as a pair and to an exceptionally high specification for its time. This included extensive internal panelling throughout, much of which has been retained and remains in place today. The house is set well back within its plot, lending it a sense of presence. A wealth of period detail remains, including stained glass to the front door, tiled pavers within the hallway, high ceilings, and working fireplaces to the ground floor reception rooms, all softened by the understated, neutral interiors. A charming first floor balcony further enhances the character of the house.

The accommodation provides excellent reception space, with a layout that feels both practical and inviting. There is a calm and elegant sitting room, finished in soothing tones, a separate study ideal for home working, and to the rear a stunning open plan kitchen, dining and sitting room that seamlessly combines period character with contemporary living. Limestone flooring runs throughout this space, with a comfortable reception area that accommodates sofas and a television.

The kitchen is fitted with white timber units beneath quartz stone worktops, creating a bright and airy feel. There is space for a fridge-freezer, a fitted aga with four-ring gas hob, hot plates and six ovens, a Quooker tap, and a dining area positioned beneath a roof lantern that floods the room with natural light. Contemporary metal framed French doors open directly onto the rear garden. To the side of the kitchen is a practical utility room with a double Belfast sink, space for appliances, and direct access outside.

On the first floor, the principal bedroom occupies the front of the house and continues the calm, neutral theme. It benefits from fitted wardrobes and French doors opening onto the balcony, complete with decorative carving and forming a delightful spot for a morning coffee. The luxury en suite bathroom features a walk-in shower, freestanding roll top bath and a pair of basins. There are two further bedrooms on this floor, both well-proportioned and light, along with a recently renovated bathroom, including Fired Earth tiles. The second floor offers three additional rooms, all flexible in use and equally suitable as further bedrooms, a gym or home office space if required.

Outside, the house is set behind a low brick wall with a lawned frontage, well stocked flower beds, driveway parking and an electric vehicle charger. Side access leads to the east facing rear garden, where a gravelled terrace spans the rear elevation and provides plenty of space for outdoor seating and relaxed entertaining.

A further gravelled seating area sits at the end of the garden, perfectly positioned to enjoy the afternoon sun. The garden is mainly laid to lawn, bordered by well stocked beds, and finished with a beautiful rose arch at the rear, creating an established and inviting outdoor setting.
