Guide Price £465,000 - £475,000

Welcome to The Hollies
A wonderfully characterful detached period cottage, tucked away in a secluded backwater just a literal stone’s throw from Hurstpierpoint High Street. The Hollies combines the charm and individuality of an older Sussex home with one of the village centre’s most valuable practical advantages: off-road parking.

Behind its cottage exterior, the house offers a warm, inviting layout arranged over two floors, extending to approximately 810 sq ft. The accommodation has a pleasing sense of balance, with two separate reception rooms, a country-style kitchen, two bedrooms and a notably generous first-floor bathroom.

The ground floor has an appealing flow for day-to-day living. The sitting room is a cosy, double-aspect space with timber flooring, leaded windows, built-in shelving and a handsome fireplace creating a natural focal point. It feels private and comfortable, ideal for quieter evenings, reading or relaxed entertaining.

Alongside, the dining room brings further flexibility. With wood flooring, period proportions and space for both a table and work-from-home area, it could serve equally well as a formal dining room, study, snug or occasional guest space. Together, the two reception rooms give the cottage more versatility than its footprint might first suggest.

The kitchen continues the cottage character, fitted with traditional timber cabinetry, tiled worktops, terracotta-style flooring and views out towards the garden. It has a rustic, homely feel that suits the age and style of the house, while still providing practical everyday workspace.

Upstairs, there are two good bedrooms, both with cottage charm, sloping ceiling lines and attractive window details. The principal bedroom is a comfortable double with patterned feature wall and space for freestanding furniture, while the second bedroom is currently arranged as a characterful home office/bedroom, complete with a decorative fireplace and fitted shelving.

The bathroom is a real surprise — considerably larger than many homes of this style — and fitted with both a bath and separate shower. Its generous proportions give it a relaxed, almost boutique feel, with space, colour and period touches adding to the personality of the house.

Cottage Garden
Outside, The Hollies enjoys pretty cottage-style gardens, framed by mature planting, brick walls and paved seating areas. It is a charming, sheltered spot for morning coffee, summer dining or simply stepping away from the bustle of the High Street, despite being so close to it. Beyond the garden is private off road parking for one car.

The Hurst Life
For anyone seeking that quintessential village lifestyle, Hurstpierpoint has so much to offer. It has a thriving community, beautiful historic High Street, reputable schools in both the private and state sector and is surrounded by a glorious Sussex countryside.
