4 bedroom house

A rarely available semi-rural family house set in the most glorious gardens and grounds of approximately 16.72 acres including paddocks and stabling with stunning panoramic views of the South Downs



‘Gote Cottage’ is nestled in the hamlet of Streat, tucked away down its own private drive in the lee of the South Downs. Ditchling is a historic village playing host to a selection of local shops, cafés, a church, post office, health centre and two public houses including The Bull, an award-winning gastro pub. The larger village of Hassocks, with its mainline train station is a short drive away and provides regular rail services to London and a more comprehensive array of shops and schooling for all ages.



With a beautiful brick and flint façade and character features to match, ‘Gote Cottage’ was originally 2 farm workers cottages converted some 30 years ago into one stunning family home. 4 reception rooms reside on the ground floor including the sitting room and music room that form part of the original building with the latter additions of the study and beautiful oak and glass garden room with glorious southerly views. The kitchen/dining room runs front to back with a useful utility room. Stairs lead to the first floor where there are 4 double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The master bedroom benefits from a large en-suite bathroom. In total the grounds extend to in excess of 16 acres with the immediate lawned gardens surrounding the property on all sides. An area of hard standing opposite the house provides ample parking with an open fronted barn, attached stores and a sizable kitchen garden with greenhouse behind. Fenced paddocks reside on the southern boundary of the property and there are also a further 5 paddocks and substantial stable block with 6 stables and tack room. On the northern side of the boundary is a large area of woodland and a stream.
