Charles Wycherley Independent Estate Agents are delighted to introduce Modern House to the market. Built in the 1970's, this purpose-built property comprises 2 flats, one on each floor, but is ideally suited for conversion into a contemporary 4-5-bedroom upside-down' house. The current first floor offers a double reception room, kitchen, bathroom, and 3 bedrooms, but could easily be reconfigured into an open-plan space with a large, light-filled living area, enjoying views and opening onto a generous south-facing balcony. There would also be scope to add a utility room and cloakroom at this level. The ground floor, as re-imagined, could provide 5 bedrooms, with direct access to the garden, including the potential to convert the cloakroom into a family bathroom and create 2 ensuites for the main south-facing bedrooms. The property is currently served by oil-fired central heating, with the future option to purchase an additional section of garden to the side.
The property has views to south and east to the South Downs and fields and is less than a mile from the main village of Cooksbridge, while being only yards from the road in a semi-rural setting. Cooksbridge offers a popular primary school, a convenience store with petrol station, 2 public houses, and a railway station with services to London Victoria and London Bridge in approximately 70 minutes, as well as a short stop to Lewes. Modern House stands within the grounds of the former McBeans Orchid Nursery. Although relatively unaffected, development is expected to occur to the rear with a small number of new houses, and further to the south with additional live/work units.
