Unique two-bedroom character cottage with two private courtyards, tucked away in historic Church Street, Cuckfield.
Description
Set in the heart of this picturesque and historic village, Kings Cottage offers the perfect blend of character and convenience, with the High Street’s independent shops, cafés, and pubs just moments away, and beautiful countryside walks on the doorstep.
Tucked away in historic Church Street, Kings Cottage is an unusual and highly individual home, believed to date from the mid-1800s. Originally a workshop, the property was converted in 1999 to create a charming yet contemporary cottage, combining period character with modern design. Constructed of brick and stone under a clay peg tiled roof, the house is neatly presented throughout, with neutral décor, parquet flooring, and casement windows.
A high wooden gate set into a brick archway opens to an enclosed pathway, leading through a further iron gate to a walled, brick-paved courtyard, softened by trees and climbing plants. From here, a pair of distinctive half-glazed double doors - retained from the property’s workshop era - open to the entrance hall, which features a part-exposed brick wall with display niches and stairs rising to the first floor.
The ground floor includes two bedrooms. The main bedroom is a striking space with an exposed brick and stone wall, wood block flooring, and French doors opening to a second walled courtyard; the second bedroom has wood block flooring and fitted wardrobes providing hanging and shelving space.
A fully tiled bathroom completes the ground floor, fitted with a white suite comprising a bath with shower over, WC, and pedestal basin.
The first floor has been designed to take full advantage of the rooftop views over the village. This open-plan living space features a high vaulted ceiling, stripped wooden flooring, and windows to three aspects. The kitchen area is fitted with a range of white floor and wall units, with an inset stainless steel sink and drainer, integrated oven, electric hob with stainless steel splashback and extractor, and space for appliances including washing machine and refrigerator. A cupboard houses the wall-mounted boiler.
Outside
The property enjoys two private walled courtyards: The first, accessed via the brick archway, is brick-paved and planted with trees and climbers, while the second, opening from the master bedroom, offers further climbing plants - both providing secluded outdoor spaces ideal for relaxation.
There is unrestricted on-street parking in the vicinity.
