An elegant Victorian double fronted village house occupying a central yet tucked away position at the end of a private road, with garaging and driveway parking
Grove House is an elegant Victorian double fronted village house occupying a central yet tucked away position at the end of a private road in the heart of Ditchling. This delightful detached house offers classic period features including sash windows as well as bright, well-presented accommodation arranged over three floors.
On the ground floor, the dual aspect sitting room is a wonderful, calm space with a working marble fireplace. It has French doors to the side patio garden, and internal doors to the west facing conservatory. Across the hallway is a dual aspect dining room/study, with a gas fireplace. At the rear of the house, adjoining the conservatory, is a well-equipped fitted kitchen with stone worktops, cream painted wood units and a Neff induction hob. The utility room offers further storage and space for laundry appliances.
Occupying the first floor are two spacious bedrooms, each with fitted wardrobes. Bedroom one has a large west facing balcony, with space to sit and enjoy the afternoon sun; bedroom two has an en suite bathroom with a roll top bath. The family bathroom has a walk-in shower. On the second floor are two further attic bedrooms.
Outside Grove House is set behind electronically operated wrought iron gates which open to a long driveway, leading to the detached double garage, which has power connected, and the house. There is parking for several vehicles and space to turn in front of the house, with a short spur leading north, where there is a gate to the public footpath. The drive is flanked by mature planting, including a variety of perennial flowers and shrubs. To the side, a gate opens to the paved side courtyard garden which leads past a charming brick and timber outbuilding, and on to the fully enclosed west facing rear garden. The patio adjoins the conservatory, offering an excellent spot to enjoy the charming outside space. There is a manageable lawn surrounded by well stocked beds, and a spiral staircase leads up to the west facing first balcony. The plot extends to about a fifth of an acre in all.

This charming home is certain to impress with its enticing, double fronted symmetry and pretty aesthetics. It is practically located for the village too in a superbly private spot, and complemented by a well-stocked, cottage style garden.
