The House...
A beautifully presented ‘Sussex style’ semi-detached home occupying a quiet position in the heart of Ardingly village.

This excellent room is dual aspect with the added benefit of a sky light allowing even more light to flood in. Bi-folding doors across provide a real ‘inside-outside’ space during the summer months whilst the open fireplace in the sitting area is perfect for those cold winter evenings.

The tasteful 15ft kitchen has space for breakfast table, range cooker and other appliances. There is a cleverly placed opening which provides the unique feeling of open plan living with plenty of separation. There is also a very useful separate utility and ground floor cloakroom which have both been refitted.
