West Street

Description

Beautifully styled and retaining a lot of original characters, HUNTERS are pleased to market this 2-3 Bedroom Mid-Terrace Cottage with large rear garden!

Dating back to around 1874 and originally built to house workers from the neighbouring Brickfield, Hunters are delighted to present to the market this charming and historic home on West Street.

West Street is a sought-after residential road in Burgess Hill, ideally located just a short stroll from the town centre, London Road’s parade of shops, and Fairfield Recreation Ground. The town centre also benefits from Burgess Hill’s Mainline Train Station, providing quick and convenient links to Brighton in just 10 minutes, and London in under an hour. For added convenience, Wivelsfield Train Station is also within walking distance, and the nearby A23 offers easy access to both Brighton and London by car. Families will appreciate the excellent local schools, including The Gattons Infant School, St. Paul’s Catholic College, and Burgess Hill Academy.

This attractive, brick-built period home boasts off-road parking for one vehicle, as well as a practical brick-built porch, ideal for storing shoes and coats — the perfect buffer between the indoors and the elements.

Inside, the ground floor is full of character and versatile living space. The front-facing living room features a beautiful log-burning stove, engineered hardwood flooring, and stylish plantation shutters, flowing seamlessly into the dining space, which could equally serve as a playroom or home office. Beyond the dining area lies the extended kitchen — a real showstopper — with striking slatted wooden cabinets, freshly varnished oak worktops, and a pitched ceiling with large windows flooding the space with natural light. The kitchen comes fully equipped with a 4-ring gas hob, double oven, porcelain butler sink with traditional mixer taps, built-in fridge freezer, and space for a freestanding washing machine. There’s also a handy downstairs WC just off the kitchen, as well as direct access to the south-facing rear garden through patio doors.

Upstairs, the first floor offers two double bedrooms and the family bathroom. The generously-sized front bedroom features plantation shutters, original exposed wooden flooring, and a stunning cast-iron fireplace with surround, adding to the home’s period charm. Bedroom Two overlooks the rear garden and provides access to the family bathroom, with the option to create a hallway to allow independent access if desired.

The loft has been cleverly converted into a versatile third bedroom or office space, accessed via a pull-down ladder. This useful room also offers eaves storage and a built-in cupboard.

Outside, the rear garden is a hidden gem — a rare find in such a central location. Lovingly maintained, the garden is divided into several distinct areas, including a large decked terrace with a hot tub directly off the kitchen, an expansive lawn, and a second decked seating area at the rear, complete with a timber garden shed.

This is a truly unique opportunity to own a piece of Burgess Hill’s history, with space, charm, and modern convenience all rolled into one.
