Marcus Grimes estate agents are delighted to bring this older style, traditional Sussex style country cottage to the market for the first time since it was constructed approximately 70 years ago. It has remained in the ownership of the same family who have farmed the surrounding area for 2 generations. Constructed in a cavity brick with half tiled elevations and roof, the key feature of the property is its extraordinary position, sat at the top of this private lane with stunning panoramas across fields and the adjacent valley, up to Southview Terrace. The adjoining field is available to purchase as a separate negotiation either as a whole or part thereof. For further details please contact the owners sole agents.
The semi detached house is set back from the roadway enclosed by its own fenced in lawn and pathway. To the side a large tarmac driveway provides off road parking for several cars. There is ample space here for the construction of a pair of garages (subject to local authority consent). Behind the dwelling lies a wide patio accessed from the conservatory and living room. This leads to a significant lawned garden interspersed with trees, a further circular patio, horticultural section and all fully enclosed by fencing. A shed and additional area of concrete hardstanding offer a base for further outbuildings. Internally, the building is bright and light, decorated in a simple white palette throughout, with double glazed windows. The kitchen is comprehensively fitted offering ample storage and includes a cabinet space for a fridge freezer and dishwasher. There is a fitted electric oven and hob. A space exists for a dishwasher. There is a useful separate utility room with plumbing for a washing machine and an adjacent cloakroom/WC. The 4 bedrooms upstairs all offer delightful far reaching views. A modern family bathroom and ensuite shower room complete the accommodation. The central heating is to radiators from a modern liquid propane gas fired boiler with a bulk storage tank hidden away at the bottom of the garden, likewise a private drainage system is located closer to the western boundary. The adjoining field measures 5.47 acres and backs directly onto the rear garden of the property and behind the next-door neighbours. It is accessed via farm gates located on both the south western and south eastern boundaries. Kept as grazing for horses there are number of cross country jumps set up across the ground. It is a possibility that equestrian or other animal shelters, such as stabling could be erected, subject to the consent of the planning authority.
Dagbrook Lane can be found on the south side of the village of Henfield. It is a private road leading to a dozen or so dwellings of various ages and designs, terminating in the former farm buildings that once made up Brookside Farm. The cottage is about half a mile from the main road at Broadmere Common and a mile from the bustling High Street of Henfield with everything from a Shell service station to pubs, cafes, ironmongers, hairdressers, library, pharmacist etc. There are no banks but there is an ATM. Henfield has a thriving primary school, pretty church, leisure centre and modern medical centre. The South Downs are close by but the property is not within the SDNP. Brighton and the beach is about 11 miles. Hassocks mainline railway station is 9 miles approx. with fast regular Thames Link and Southern Rail services into London from about 55 mins. EPC rating E.
