This handsome Victorian townhouse, positioned at the heart of Hurstpierpoint, will delight any lover of period property seeking an authentic village lifestyle.
Behind its elegant façade lie beautifully proportioned rooms, rich with original detail — high ceilings, ornate fireplaces, a graceful bay window, and striking hallway tiles that speak to the home’s 19th-century heritage.
Thoughtfully curated interiors enhance the building’s natural character, combining timeless charm with modern comfort.
With views stretching towards the High Weald and the South Downs just moments away, this is a home that feels both connected and quietly restorative.
The house unfolds across three generous floors, each with an easy, natural flow. There are two extremely generous reception rooms. On the ground floor the family room is bathed in soft light from the sash windows, feeling both grounded and uplifting — a perfect reflection of the home’s Victorian soul. At the centre stands a striking cast-iron fireplace, its decorative tiles a vivid reminder of the home’s 19th-century heritage. A carefully integrated desk space offers a thoughtful modern touch, providing a quiet spot for work or study. The bespoke cabinetry provides discreet storage that keeps the space beautifully composed. It’s a room that perfectly balances period character with contemporary design — serene, functional, and full of quiet charm.
The first-floor sitting room is an elegant and uplifting space, defined by generous proportions and an abundance of natural light that pours in through a large bay window. Deep-toned walls provide a sophisticated backdrop for the room’s original Victorian detailing, most notably the striking marble fireplace with its vividly coloured tilework — a beautiful focal point. High ceilings edged with ornate cornicing enhance the sense of volume. This is a space that feels both serene and expressive. A room where the home’s architectural heritage is celebrated.
The impressive kitchen/diner sits at the rear of the house, where a considered extension has introduced a contemporary rhythm to the home’s Victorian framework. Full-height folding doors open directly onto the garden, allowing light and air to flow freely through the space. A generous roof light draws daylight deep into the plan, creating a constant play between indoors and out. Classic Shaker cabinetry, finished in soft neutral tones, is paired with brass fittings and Quartz worktops. The herringbone engineered oak flooring, with underfloor heating, brings warmth and texture underfoot, subtly nodding to the home’s heritage.
This contemporary addition provides a striking yet sympathetic juxtaposition to the house’s period features. Designed for gathering, it’s a natural setting for entertaining forming the social heart of the home and a beautiful counterpoint to its Victorian character.
The reconfiguration means there is now a utility and cloakroom too.
Heading upstairs, a graceful original staircase winds upward through the centre of the house, its turned balusters and polished handrail a quiet reminder of the home’s Victorian heritage. A large skylight crowns the stairwell.
Here you’ll find each of the three double bedrooms, each offering quiet refuge and abundant character. On the first floor, a peaceful bedroom sits beside the modern family bathroom, while the top floor provides two further bedrooms, one with sweeping views over the village rooftops to the hills beyond.
Beyond the kitchen, folding doors open to a private courtyard garden, a calm and low-maintenance space designed for use throughout the year. An artificial lawn and paved terrace create distinct zones for relaxation and dining, framed by raised beds and climbing greenery.
Please note there is no designated parking with this home. Our clients park in nearby side streets without issue.
