Property description
Walnut Tree Cottage is a 3 bedroom cottage, believed to date from as early as the 17th century, having been extended and completely refurbished by the current owner. The property still retains a wealth of period character to include exposed timbers throughout, panelled internal doors with thumb latch furniture and numerous wooden framed windows. The construction is timber framed with ‘wattle and daub’ rendering, with part tile hung elevations and a cat slide roof to the rear. The property is conveniently situated off Fairplace Hill within easy reach of Burgess Hill town centre, Haywards Heath and the motorway network.
The accommodation includes a wooden part glazed front door with porch canopy over opening directly into the delightful sitting room which features a number of exposed timbers, including a central timber support. In one corner is a brick fireplace with a log burner, oak bressumer and brick hearth flanked by display recesses. Stairs rise to the first floor.
Adjoining the sitting room is a double aspect dining room with French doors opening to the garden.
The inner hallway with tiled floor and inset spot lights gives access to the bathroom which has been re-fitted with a period style suite including a free standing ‘claw and ball’ roll top bath, pedestal basin, wc and heated towel rail. Flagstone tiled floor.
The kitchen features a 4 oven aga and is fitted with a range of floor mounted painted solid pine units, complemented by granite worktops with an inset twin bowl ceramic sink and tiled floor.
The utility room is also fitted with a range of units and with spaces for laundry appliances. From the utility room, a stable door opens to the garden and the secondary staircase rises to the first floor.
There are 3 double bedrooms on the first floor, one with a vaulted ceiling and a cast iron fireplace (the bedrooms are approached via 2 staircases and are all currently linked, but this can be altered if required). A bedroom could also be reduced to create an upstairs bathroom.
