About the property
The Home...
A charming Victorian semi-detached cottage with long rear garden and oodles of scope to extend and modernise. Offered to the market for the first time in over 40 years, this characterful two-bedroom Victorian semi-detached home is located in the heart of the desirable village of Hurstpierpoint with its thriving community, bustling High Street and highly regarded schooling.
Approached via a covered porch, the property benefits from a double glazed front door, opening into the entrance hallway with stairs rising ahead. To the left, a door leads into the cosy lounge, which retains its original internal doors, adding to the period charm of the home. The lounge features an open fire, large windows overlooking the front garden, and a useful under-stairs storage area, which benefits from a small window providing natural light. This nook could easily accommodate a desk and chair, making it an ideal spot for a compact home office.
This room flows into the kitchen, which offers a range of fitted cupboards, a two-drainer sink, and windows providing views through to the conservatory. The boiler is positioned in a recessed chimney breast. A door from the kitchen leads into the conservatory, which provides additional living space and incorporates a separate utility area with a WC. Patio doors lead onto the rear garden.
Upstairs, the spacious bathroom is positioned to the rear and is fitted with an original avocado suite, enjoying pleasant views over the garden. The second bedroom also overlooks the garden and contains a cupboard housing the water tank. The generous principal bedroom at the front of the property benefits from two windows, a built-in wardrobe, and a deep cupboard above the stairs—this is an ideal location for a staircase to a potential loft conversion, where a further bedroom and en-suite could be created (STPP). The loft is already equipped with a ladder and lighting, allowing easy access for inspection.
Step Outside...
To the rear, the west-facing garden is a lovely size, mainly laid to lawn with mature flower beds—ideal for gardening enthusiasts or entertaining. The large driveway provides off-road parking for up to four vehicles, or even enough space to accommodate a caravan if desired. The front garden includes a lawn area and hedging offering privacy from the road.
Hurst Life...
Western Road is ideally situated in the heart of Hurstpierpoint, a quintessential Sussex village known for its strong sense of community and charming atmosphere.

Beer enthusiasts will enjoy the Hop Tub Taproom, a lively local microbrewery with great food.
