5 bedroom house

A generously proportioned and significantly updated late Victorian detached house with beautiful south facing landscaped gardens and grounds of approximately 2.2 acres boasting uninterrupted views of the South Downs



Lying at the foot of the South Downs, Keymer is a quaint village playing host to a parade of local shops and a public house and church. The private lane on which Broadhill Cottage is situated provides direct access onto a wide all-weather Bridleway/footpath that leads to Oldlands Mill. From here the public footpaths take you either to Ditchling village, or into Hassocks village via a single track lane/footpath which leads onto the southern section of Ockley Lane. The larger town of Burgess hill, with its mainline train station is a short drive away and provides regular rail services to London. There are an array of local state and private schools for all ages.

This beautiful late Victorian house has been significantly remodelled and updated by the current vendors creating a light family house more suited to the modern lifestyle yet retaining the charm and character of its era. Of particular note is the newly created kitchen/breakfast room with a part vaulted ceiling and a wide opening on to the dining room. Both rooms benefit from patio doors opening out on to the south facing rear gardens with wonderful views of the South downs. There are 3 further reception rooms including a triple aspect sitting room with focal open fireplace and glorious stone surround. There is also a very useful utility room. The first floor provides a modern fitted bathroom and 5 bedrooms including the sizable double aspect master bedroom suite with en-suite shower room, dressing room and having glorious elevated southerly views. The landscaped gardens are wonderfully private and surround the property on all sides. A driveway to the side of the property provides ample parking along with lawns to the front. A brick block terrace and decking adjoins the rear of the property with manicured lawns extending to the south where the beautiful views of the South downs can be enjoyed to their fullest. Mature beds and established trees are scattered through the grounds along with a small orchard, and a timber 5 bar gate leads to a large paddock.
