Description

Guide £290,000 - £300,000 | Welcome to Southdown House - a fabulous, character apartment in the very heart of Hurstpierpoint offering an opportunity to immerse yourself in village life

Guide Price £290,000 - £300,000 -

The Apartment... - Situated in the very heart of Hurstpierpoint’s picturesque high street, this charming top-floor flat occupies the top premier position of a handsome Victorian building – and offers the kind of elevated village lifestyle that’s increasingly hard to find.

Full of individuality and period charm, the property offers a rare blend of architectural character, natural light and spectacular views across the surrounding countryside from every window. Whether you're curled up with a book or entertaining with the windows thrown open, those long-range views provide an ever-changing backdrop to daily life.

Internally, the layout is as functional as it is appealing. The living space is bright and welcoming, with high ceilings and sash windows that nod to the building’s heritage. The kitchen is well-planned with shaker-style cabinetry, space for appliances and a breakfast bar with sightlines that make the most of the vista.

Both bedrooms are generous doubles and served by the modern bathroom with white suite and overhead power shower.

Apartments such as this are more than just a flat, they the perfect base for a village lifestyle. Step outside and you're immediately immersed in Hurstpierpoint’s thriving village scene, with its coffee shops, delis, pubs and boutiques all within a minute’s walk. Weekend strolls across the South Downs, Friday Night pizza from VPK, a midweek dinner at The Fig Tree or Morleys, or a morning coffee from Fuel or No.7 – it’s all right here on your doorstep.

The flat has been in the same family for 25 years and is ideal for first-time buyers, downsizers or as a bolt-hole. There is a generous length lease (112 yrs unexpired), secure telephone entry system, access to a large loft space which is great for storage and easy parking in the Trinity Road village car park which is just opposite and offers 24 hr permit parking. This could also make the perfect Air BnB, subject to any lease restrictions.

Hurst Life... - Southdown House is just a literal stone's throw from the vibrant Hurstpierpoint High Street, home to a delightful selection of shops and eateries, including a deli, bakery, greengrocer, individual boutiques, pubs, restaurants and a cinema— all reflecting the charm of village life, away from the hustle and bustle of larger towns.

The friendly community fosters a wonderful spirit, and for those who aren’t local, the Hurstpierpoint Heritage Trail offers a perfect glimpse into the village's history. For commuters, Hurstpierpoint is conveniently located for Hassocks Station which sits on the mainline and offers fast, regular services to London (Victoria/London Bridge in approx 54 mins), Brighton (9 mins) and Gatwick International Airport (20 mins).

When it comes to schooling, the village is home to the well-regarded St Lawrence CofE Primary School. In the private sector, Hurst College enjoys an excellent reputation. For secondary state education, most children attend Downlands in nearby Hassocks.

By car, you can easily access the A23(M), which will get you into central Brighton in 10-15 mins.
