Full Description: A charming period semi-detached house set within the South Downs National Park, enjoying far reaching views and a generous west facing garden of approximately one-third of an acre <br /> <br /> <br />The property is set within the village of Westmeston. The neighbouring village of Ditchling, is a historic village playing host to a selection of local shops, cafés, a church, and two public houses including The Bull, an award-winning gastro pub. The larger village of Hassocks, with its mainline train station, is a short drive away and provides regular rail services to London and a more comprehensive array of shops. The local area benefits from a range of revered state and private schools for all ages. <br /> <br />Believed to date back approximately 400 years, Lily Bank is a characterful semi-detached cottage occupying an elevated rural position, with a wealth of period features lending warmth and individuality to its interior. The accommodation retains exposed beams, fireplaces and original floorboards with two separate reception rooms comprising a sitting room centred around a wood burning stove and a dining room. To the rear, the kitchen is fitted with oak block work surfaces and a range of integrated appliances, complemented by a separate utility room and cloakroom. Stairs rise to the first floor, where three bedrooms are served by a family bathroom. A particular feature of Lily Bank is its generous west facing rear garden, extending to approximately one third of an acre and enjoying a glorious backdrop of the South Downs. Predominantly laid to lawn and with a large patio adjoining the rear of the property, the garden is interspersed with mature planting and established shrubs, creating an attractive setting in which to enjoy the far reaching countryside views and afternoon sunshine. A dedicated kitchen garden, complete with greenhouse and vegetable beds will appeal to those with an interest in growing their own produce.
