The Apartment...

Accessed via a communal security entrance from the High Street, the apartment is situated on the first floor of this attractive period building. The entrance hall leads through to the principal rooms, with both the living room and bedroom enjoying impressive proportions and lovely views up and down Cuckfield High Street. High ceilings reflect the building’s early 19th-century origins, while the bay windows with sash glazing bring character and natural light to these welcoming spaces.

The double bedroom is another particularly spacious room, measuring approximately 15'9" x 15'5", and benefits from a wide, deep built-in wardrobe cupboard. The hall and bedroom carpets have been recently replaced, and the apartment has also been redecorated.

The separate kitchen is fitted with a range of units, an electric oven and hob, together with space and plumbing for a washing machine and an under-counter fridge. A wall-mounted gas boiler supplies the hot water and central heating via radiators.

The bathroom comprises a bath with mixer shower over, wash basin and WC.

Cuckfield Life...

Life in Cuckfield centres around its charming historic High Street, where an appealing mix of independent shops, welcoming cafés, traditional pubs and everyday amenities creates a wonderful village atmosphere. With the apartment positioned right on the High Street, much of daily life can be enjoyed on foot, whether popping out for a morning coffee, browsing the local shops or meeting friends for a leisurely lunch.

The village has a strong sense of community, with a lively calendar of local events and a variety of independent businesses giving Cuckfield its distinctive character. Alongside a general store, chemist, hairdressers, antiques and gift shops, there are four popular pubs, an excellent medical centre, dentist and renowned spa hotel. The nearby playing fields provide open space for recreation, while the surrounding Sussex countryside offers beautiful opportunities for walking and enjoying the outdoors.
