Welcome to Knights House...
If you’re looking for a historic, characterful home and a desirable village lifestyle then Knights House in the very heart of the beautiful village of Cuckfield could be just the one you’ve been looking for.

This Grade II listed home is believed to date from the 16th century, personifies period charm and has been the subject of transformative renovation to the very highest of standards with a quality of finish rarely seen, offering an incoming purchase a truly turn-key option, with gorgeous interiors in a prime location to take advantage of the joys offered by living in Cuckfield. In our opinion this would make the perfect lock up & leave or holiday let, with minimal garden maintenance required (a rarity with older homes such as this) and at 1,290 sq ft there is plenty of space on offer.

Upon entry you’re welcomed by the most inviting of sitting rooms with a wealth of exposed timbers and a large bay window overlooking the High Street. This room was previously used as a shop and could be changed back if a purchaser was looking to run a business from home (any change of use is of course subject to any necessary consents from the council).

To the rear is an exceptional kitchen/diner. The room is bathed in natural light due to the skylight and the overlooks the rear courtyard. The Corian stone worktops add a touch of opulence, whilst the ‘shaker-style’ units are sympathetic to the character of the home making this is a fabulous space to entertain. Practicality wise there is plenty of prep space, an integrated dishwasher and 5 ring range cooker.

The ground floor also has a handy utility room providing handy storage and space for a washer and dryer.

Finally, the ground floor bathroom is simply stunning and more akin to a luxury hotel with beautiful marble effect tiles and a stylish suite.

The first floor is equally as impressive as the ground floor with a spacious landing setting the tone with more exposed beams & timbers and plenty of space for a study area or quiet reading corner.

The main bedroom is stunning with a voluminous vaulted ceiling, oodles of exposed beams, skylight and fitted wardrobe. The third bedroom sits adjacent and boasts equality impressive combination of vaulted ceiling and exposed beams.

The second bedroom overlooks the rear and is another generous double room with interesting vaulted ceiling, skylight and fitted wardrobes.

Each bedroom is served by the blissful first floor bathroom. The standalone bathroom is the perfect spot to unwind after a long day and the walk-in shower boasts a waterfall shower head.

Step Outside...
Externally, the home has a small paved courtyard that provides room for a bistro table & chairs as well as some pretty pot plants - perfect for anyone looking for minimal outside space to maintain. There is an allocated parking space which could be used as a secondary outside area, if required and there will be some screening installed shortly. This rear area is approached via a gated side access which is shared with one other property (Beech House).

Agents Note
Homes of this quality of finish are seldom available and we would highly recommend an internal viewing
