The Home...

Welcome to Hindover Cottage – an utterly charming semi-detached cottage that dates from the 1920s, sits on gorgeous 1/3 acre plot and enjoys the most idyllic position in a peaceful, private estate on the outskirts of lovely Lindfield.

Our clients have owned the home for fifty years underlying just what a special location and opportunity this is for an incoming buyer and, although the home would now benefit from certain modernisation, it has a genuinely inviting feel throughout. You can tell this has been a very happy home indeed.

The country kitchen was also extended (in the 70s) and is a social space with a lovely outlook over the garden. The side door opens on to the courtyard and there is plenty of space for a breakfast table.

The ground floor also offers a shower room and stylish, modern family bathroom with Burlington fixtures and tasteful tiling.

There are five bedrooms in total. The original part of the house has three doubles – each with fitted wardrobe space and pleasant, leafy outlooks. There is also a cloakroom on the first floor with eaves storage.

The other two bedrooms form part of the 90s extension and sit above the garage, offering excellent scope for an annexe, if required.

The home is heated via oil fired boiler and has a private drainage system that is shared with the adjoining cottage.

Outside Oasis...

Stepping outside the home really comes into its own. The plot extends to 1/3 of an acre with fabulous, mature gardens wrapping around two sides. There are fruits trees, Rhododendron bushes and a large expanse of lawn that is perfect for children to play.

The front of the house is Screened by mature hedging various areas of lawn and there is gated side access.

The gravel driveway is approached by a 5 bar gated entrance and leads to the garage with additional parking for several cars.

There is direct access from the garden to fields at the rear and the nature of the position means the garden is incredibly private.

Scope/Potential...

Given the size of the plot there is, in our opinion, plenty of scope for further extension, if required. There is room to extend to the rear to enlarge the kitchen and a large space to the side where you could extend also. Any work is of course subject gaining any necessary consents.
