Guide Price £1,000,000 - £1,100,000 | A spacious, well planned and entirely remodelled five bedroom detached family home with superb open plan kitchen, contemporary finishes and a very convenient central location on the sought-after Grand Avenue, within easy walk of the mainline station, village High Street and reputable schools.
Extending to over 2,300 sq ft, this detached house has been completely remodelled and significantly enlarged to create a home that feels both contemporary and well grounded. The exterior sets the tone, with crisp modern render set beneath a contrasting slate roof, while the original 1930s curved bay window has been retained as a subtle nod to the home’s origins.
Positioned on the sought-after Grand Avenue in the very heart of Hassocks, just a short walk from the High Street and mainline station, it combines village convenience with a layout designed around how people actually live.
The approach is thoughtful. Spaces flow naturally, light is drawn deep into the plan, and the finish is consistent throughout. Underfloor heating runs across the ground floor beneath LVT flooring, CAT 5 wiring is installed throughout, and solar panels add a layer of efficiency that will appeal to anyone looking for eco-credentials.
At the rear, the house opens up completely. The kitchen, dining and family space stretches across the rear, with rooflights pulling daylight down from above and bi-fold doors dissolving the boundary to the garden. There’s a sense of volume here that really impresses. The kitchen is confidently designed around a large central island, finished in quartz and set up as much for conversation as it is for cooking. A full suite of integrated appliances is neatly arranged, including double ovens, combination oven, induction hob with downdraft extractor, dishwasher, fridge, freezer and wine cooler. Everything feels intentional, with clean lines and no unnecessary clutter. What works particularly well is how the space is naturally zoned. The dining area sits alongside the glazing, perfectly positioned for long lunches or evenings that drift outside, while the more relaxed seating area anchors the room without interrupting the flow.
It’s a space that adapts easily. Busy mornings, quiet afternoons, a house full of people. It all fits.
Beyond the kitchen, what sets the house apart is the balance between openness and retreat. To the front, the sitting room offers a more enclosed, quieter space. It’s somewhere to step away from the main hub, particularly in the evenings. Elsewhere, additional reception rooms provide genuine flexibility. They can shift easily between playroom, snug, workspace or even a ground floor bedroom if needed.
Several of these rooms connect directly to the garden, reinforcing the relationship between inside and out. Practical spaces are well considered too. A separate utility room keeps the everyday out of sight, and a ground floor cloakroom is ideally positioned.
Upstairs, the sense of proportion continues. Five double bedrooms are arranged around a central landing, each well sized and easy to furnish. The principal suite is the most resolved of them, combining a generous bedroom with a dedicated dressing area and a cleanly finished en-suite. It feels distinct from the rest of the house, offering a degree of separation that works well. A second bedroom also has its own en-suite, while the remaining rooms are served by a family bathroom with both bath and separate shower. The finishes are consistent, simple and well executed, with heated towel rails and contemporary fittings throughout.
The rear garden faces west, which makes a real difference. Afternoon and evening light falls across the lawn, and the connection back to the house is immediate thanks to the full-width glazing. It’s a straightforward, usable space with room for both play and outdoor dining, including a defined children’s area.
To the front, a driveway provides off-road parking and leads to the garage store, fitted with an electrically operated roller door. It’s a practical addition, whether for storage or everyday use.
This is a house that has been designed around real life. Spacious, efficient and quietly well specified, all within a setting that remains one of the area’s most convenient village locations.
Grand Avenue is a sought-after and established residential road of predominantly 1930s homes in the very heart of charming Hassocks.

The village is known for its picturesque backdrop, with rolling hills and green spaces providing a peaceful atmosphere, perfect for those seeking a more relaxed pace of life.
