A fantastic opportunity to purchase this attractive Victorian semi-detached family home situated in the quintessential South Downs village of Hawkley. Ideally located close to the picturesque church and the highly regarded village pub, this idyllic property enjoys wonderful views across glorious countryside to the front — a truly charming setting.
As you step through the front door, the character of this lovely home is immediately apparent. The kitchen has been sympathetically fitted with wooden units incorporating a butler sink, oil fired Rayburn range that provides heating, hot water and cooking facilities and characterful quarry tiled flooring. This welcoming, centrally positioned room provides access to the other reception areas and a practical utility room with cloakroom w.c. beyond. The current owner has cleverly extended the property to create an integral garage with a delightful rear aspect sitting room that opens directly onto the garden — perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Completing the ground floor is a spacious dining room featuring an open fire and the staircase leading to the first floor.
Upstairs, the three generous double bedrooms are arranged over the first and second floors, all enjoying superb views across the surrounding countryside to the front and towards the pretty church at the rear. The principal bedroom is of excellent proportions with twin windows and a cleverly positioned ensuite cloakroom w.c. The second bedroom, located above the garage, is also a spacious double with a front Velux and rear dormer window allowing an abundance of natural light. A versatile study area on the first floor provides access to both this bedroom and the family bathroom, which is fitted in a traditional style with a pull chain lavatory, freestanding bath and separate shower. The third bedroom occupies the second floor, offering further eaves storage and charming elevated views.
Externally, the property is approached via an attractive front garden with driveway parking for two vehicles and access to the garage. The rear garden is a true delight, featuring a wonderful covered glass area accessed from the utility room that leads onto an external patio — ideal for al fresco dining or simply soaking up the summer sun. The remainder of the garden is mainly laid to lawn, enclosed on all sides by a mix of fencing and mature hedging, creating a private and tranquil space. At the bottom of the garden is a fabulous timber outbuilding, perfectly suited as a home office or studio with kitchenette space, and an adjacent practical area for storing garden equipment. The vendor has also recently installed a new sewage treatment plant, shared with the adjoining cottage, adding further peace of mind.
