Welcome Home
Having remained in the same family since the 1970s, this is a detached mid-century home that has clearly been enjoyed and well loved for many years and now presents a particularly exciting opportunity for its next owner. Extending to around 1,577 sq ft excluding the garage, the house already offers an unusually generous and flexible layout, with four bedrooms, a separate study and several reception spaces, while also offering excellent scope to modernise, reconfigure and potentially extend.
The entrance porch opens into a central hall, from which the ground floor accommodation unfolds. The principal reception room is an especially impressive space, stretching to around 21 feet in length and giving plenty of room to create distinct sitting and dining areas. A brick fireplace provides a natural focal point, while glazed double doors lead through to a separate family room at the rear.
Beyond here is the conservatory, wrapping the rear of the house in glazing and opening directly onto the garden. Together, these rooms provide a considerable amount of living space and give a glimpse of what could be achieved with a more contemporary approach to the layout.
The kitchen also extends to around 21 feet in length and currently has a practical galley-style arrangement. One of the most obvious opportunities here is the potential to extend across the rear, squaring off the existing footprint and bringing the kitchen, family room and conservatory together to create a substantial open-plan kitchen, dining and family space, subject to the necessary consents. It is the sort of alteration that could completely transform how the ground floor works while making the most of the generous footprint already in place.
A shower room and separate WC complete the ground floor.
Upstairs, the accommodation is equally flexible. There are four bedrooms, including two particularly comfortable doubles, together with a separate dressing room. This could work very well as a home office or nursery depending on requirements. A family bathroom serves the bedrooms.
The house would now benefit from updating, but that is very much part of its appeal. The next owner has the chance to create something entirely to their own taste, with generous room sizes and a versatile layout providing an excellent starting point. There is gas fired central heating and access to Ultrafast fibre broadband, perfect for those who work from home.
Step Outside
Outside, the rear garden is arranged mainly to lawn with established boundaries and a raised paved terrace providing a useful spot for outdoor furniture and entertaining. A separate garage provides valuable parking or storage.
After more than half a century in the same family, this feels like a genuine opportunity for the next chapter: a substantial Hassocks home with approximately 1,720 sq ft in total including the garage, plenty of existing space and exciting potential to create a superb long-term family home.
The Hassocks Life
Wilmington Close is incredibly well positioned just off the High Street 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. Hassocks is well-served by local amenities, including shops, cafes, and highly regarded schools from 4-16 years - Hassocks Infants School and Windmills Junior school are the perfect start in education and Downlands secondary school is within walking distance making it a convenient and family-friendly location. The popular Thatched Inn pub is close by, offering a welcoming spot to enjoy a meal or drink close to home with views to the South Downs and you can easily walk through the fields into Ditchling where you'll find The Bull Pub and Green Welly Coffee Shop.
