Victorian hideaway on a private road

No 26 is a deceptively spacious, light and airy semi-detached Victorian cottage located on a private road in the Keymer Conservation Area, on the edge of the South Downs National park. The cottage sleeps 4 in two bedrooms, has its own parking space with a charging point, and is located within easy reach of the A23 and A27. It is also an easy 20 minute walk from Hassocks Mainline train station, with fast trains to Gatwick, London and Brighton. No 26 is a deceptively spacious and light Victorian cottage that has been renovated to a high standard throughout. An airy open plan kitchen and dining room, with a professional range cooker and fully equipped kitchen, with a separate wine cooler, will make holiday cooking and dining a pleasure. There is a separate utility room with washing machine and downstairs wc; and for relaxing at the end of the day, a cosy sitting room with sofas, window seat, log burner and TV. Fast WiFi fibre broadband and a workstation tucked into a corner of the sitting room provides a workplace for when you have to bring it with you! Upstairs are two bedrooms, one twin and one double, both with their own ensuites, each comprising of walk-in shower (rainfall and adjustable), washbasin with LED motion sensor mirror over and wc. The whole cottage is self contained for guests and a key safe means a contact-free check in and check out. The cottage has off road parking for 1 car at the front and a private enclosed courtyard garden to the rear, with outdoor dining furniture. There is a separate secure access into the rear courtyard. The cottage is completely self-contained, and keys are left in a secure safe so that guests can arrive anytime after the check in time of 5pm. The owner lives in the village, just five minutes away, so available if needed, although during this time, we will respect social distancing, keeping face to face contact to a minimum, and will not enter the cottage whilst guests are staying unless it is essential. Just a 2 minute walk from the cottage is the Greyhound Pub (a 16th century inn), the historic Keymer parish church and a small parade of shops. Hassocks village centre is an easy 10 minute walk, with a wide range of general shops, cafes and amenities; Ditchling is a rather more picturesque village in the opposite direction, famed for its Arts and Crafts Museum, and some very good pubs and cafes. There is off road parking for one car at the cottage itself, with ample space for parking an additional car on the private road. Easy access to London, Gatwick and Brighton by train from Hassocks mainline station. Excellent road links to A23/M23 and A27. On the northern boundary of the South Downs National Park, Keymer is a great base for walking and cycling the South Downs Way. An EV charger is available for guests with electric cars. The cottage is Covid secure being thoroughly cleaned and sanitised on every changeover. All beds are fully made up with pure cotton linen and towels are provided, as are all kitchen and bathroom essentials. There are plenty of pillows and blankets. Fast wifi fibre broadband is available throughout the cottage, although mobile coverage can be patchy. All the major supermarkets do home delivery to the cottage, including the local Waitrose, and Abel and Cole deliver on Wednesday mornings.
