"A period semi detached house with garage and west facing garden in the picturesque High Street of Cuckfield. The property exudes character and charm typical of its 200 year history. We understand that the single storey part of the building at the front was once used as a classroom for young children and later a shop. The double gable elevations are constructed in solid brick under a tiled roof. Set back from the pavement with a cherry tree to the front garden. The visitor enters through the front door to a spacious reception hallway. A dining room to the right hand side connects with the former school room, which is now used as the main living room. The hall also provides the access to the cellar, with brick steps down to what is essentially a dry room used for storage and fitted with a night storage radiator. Steps down from the hall lead to the kitchen, an extension added in the last 30 years with a cloakroom utility shower room also located on this level. The first floor is accessed from stairs in the dining room. This floor offers two double bedrooms and a bathroom. The positioning of two doors from the landing to one bedroom indicates that these were once two rooms and could easily be returned as such. Outside, the driveway at the side of the house provides parking in front of the larger than average garage. The rear gardens face west and are well enclosed and of good size, comprising an area of lawn interspersed with mature fruit trees and shrub beds. Areas of patio abut the back of the house and garage with double door access from the kitchen to the rear garden. The property offers immediate vacant possession and requires some updating. Freehold.
