Great Plummerden Cottage, Plummerden Lane, Lindfield, West Sussex, RH16 2QR

The House...
A beautiful Victorian family home occupying a truly special semi-rural position on the fringes of sought-after Lindfield. This delightful period home has been sympathetically modernised & extended by the current owner and boasts the most glorious views over open countryside to both the front & rear.

Upon entry you are welcomed by a spacious reception hall and your eye is immediately drawn straight through to the open outlook beyond the house. The inviting 21ft drawing room is accessed via double doors and enjoys panoramic views, a central fireplace with wood-burner and ‘French’ doors onto to a decked terrace.

The 25ft kitchen/diner runs from front-to-back and provides a superb space for entertaining. The kitchen is farmhouse style and has a breakfast bar, ‘ESSE’ range cooker, butler sink and ample storage & worksurface space. In the dining areas there is another open fireplace with wood-burner and double doors interconnect the versatile family room.

There is also a study for those who work from home and steps lead down to the utility room (which forms part of the cellar). The oversized cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation.

On the first floor are four bedrooms and two bath/shower rooms.

The master bedroom is quite exceptional and forms part of an extension undertaken circa 2010. The bedroom itself boasts a vaulted ceiling, extensive fitted wardrobes and doors opening on to a balcony, making the most of the stunning outlook. There is also a luxurious en-suite shower room with underfloor heating.

Each of the remaining bedrooms are all doubles and each have superb views. These rooms are served by the stylish 14ft family bathroom which includes a walk-in shower and beautiful free-standing roll-top bath.

Character homes of this quality, in locations such as this are seldom available so an early viewing is highly recommended to avoid disappointment.

Outside...
The entire plot extends to approximately 1/3 of an acre.

The front is well-screened providing privacy. A secure gated entrance leads to the driveway, providing off road parking for several vehicles with an open double-bay car barn provides shelter & cover as well as storage space.

The rear garden enjoys a favoured south-westerly aspect with a large expanse of lawn and soft-play area for children. Immediately adjacent to the house is raised decked terrace and steps lead down to a patio which provides the ideal spot for ‘al-fresco’ dining and taking in the views over open Sussex countryside.

The Location...
Great Plummerden Cottage occupies an idyllic position on Plummerden Lane, on the north-eastern fringes of quintessential Lindfield, half-way to Horsted Keynes. The village boasts a picture-postcode High Street which lies just roughly two miles distant and offers an eclectic mix of shops, stores and boutiques including: butchers, bakers, greengrocers, delicatessen, cafés, hairdressers, post office, pharmacy, three pubs (Red Lion, Stand Up Inn and Bent Arms) and restaurants including 'Paolinos' Italian and The Limes. There are also two village churches. Lindfield Common hosts cricket during the summer, the village bonfire night in the winter and is a lovely area for families with young children.

The village provides two reputable state primary schools in the form of Blackthorns and Lindfield Primary School whilst the private Great Walstead is on the village outskirts. Ardingly College lies just to the north and is around a 7-10 minute drive.

Haywards Heath’s mainline station is easily accessible (3 miles) for commuting links to London (approx 47 mins to Victoria/London Bridge), Gatwick International Airport and Brighton/South Coast. By car, surrounding areas are easily accessed via the A23(M) and A272 with the former lying 5 miles west at Warninglid/Bolney.
