Guide Price £900,000 - £950,000 | If you love period property and gorgeous interior design then you will love this fabulous Edwardian Arts & Crafts semi-detached home in the heart of then quintessential village of Hurstpierpoint, with its easy access to the main London-Brighton railway line at Hassocks and A23(M).
Edwardian Elegance with Arts & Crafts Origins
This early Edwardian semi-detached house sits within a well-established conservation area and retains a strong Arts & Crafts character, expressed through its tile-hung elevations, leaded-light windows and bay-fronted proportions.
Over the past decade, it has been carefully reworked by its current owners, who have introduced a series of considered interventions that enhance both flow and usability. Natural materials and a consistent joinery language run throughout, creating a calm and cohesive interior that balances period character with a more contemporary way of living.
Generous Proportions
The principal sitting room extends to over 23ft and is a beautifully composed space, defined by its generous proportions and excellent natural light. A wide bay window to the front is complemented by a secondary side bay, where a bespoke built-in dining nook has been carefully integrated beneath a series of softly arched, leaded-light windows. This creates a striking architectural moment, while also providing a practical and sociable seating area.
At the centre of the room, a wood-burning stove is set within a simple fireplace, bringing warmth and balance to the space. The palette is calm and understated, with painted timber flooring and soft neutral tones allowing the original features and joinery to take focus. Glazed doors to the rear connect directly with the garden, reinforcing the room’s versatility for both everyday living and entertaining.
Let Me Entertain You
The kitchen is positioned to the rear of the plan and forms a natural focal point for day-to-day living. Arranged as a long, galley-style space, it is fitted with Douglas Fir Ply & Real Oak cabinetry, paired with timber & resin terrazzo worktops and integrated appliances including a Fisher & Paykel oven and boiling water tap, creating a clean and functional aesthetic.
A large rooflight above draws in additional natural light, while full-height glazing and sliding doors provide a direct connection to the garden beyond.
There is space for informal seating at the garden end, reinforcing the kitchen’s role as a sociable, lived-in space. The adjoining dining room, set within a bay window, offers a more defined area for entertaining, with panelled walls, a dark-toned fireplace and views to the front.
Together, these spaces provide flexibility, open enough to feel connected, yet with distinct zones for different uses.
Heading Upstairs
Upstairs, a generous landing leads to three well-proportioned double bedrooms, each with built-in storage. The main bathroom is characterful, with a softer, more traditional feel, while a separate shower room is stylish and beautifully finished.
The loft space has also been explored, with neighbouring properties having successfully added dormers in the past.
Outside Oasis
The rear garden is a well-balanced and established space, arranged around a generous central lawn and enclosed by a combination of mature planting and brick boundaries. Deep borders are planted with a mix of shrubs and small trees, creating a sense of privacy and seasonal interest, while the open lawn provides ample room for play or more informal use.
A paved terrace sits directly off the house, forming a natural extension of the living space and offering a spot for outdoor dining. External lighting and a water tap are already in place, and there is clear scope to introduce an outdoor kitchen, as previously considered by the current owners.
To the rear, a covered structure provides useful storage or potential for adaptation, while the overall plot feels both enclosed and surprisingly open, with a pleasant outlook and a sense of seclusion.
To the front the home sits well back from the road with driveway parking for several cars. There is so much untapped potential with this frontage and you could easily create a useable garden space that makes the most of the afternoon sunshine.
The Hurst Life
Western Road is ideally located just 10 minutes walk from the vibrant and friendly Hurstpierpoint High Street and the local primary school, St Lawrence CofE. This quintessential village is home to a delightful array of shops and eateries, including a deli, bakery, greengrocer, independent boutiques, pubs, restaurants, a library, health centre, and an award-winning cinema— all contributing to its unique charm and appeal.
