Ditchling Common with its beautiful rural views is on the border of the historic village of Ditchling 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 town of Burgess Hill, with its mainline train station is a short drive away and provides regular rail services to London and a more comprehensive array of shops and schooling for all ages.

With origins believed to date back to the 15th Century ‘Freckborough Manor’ is a beautiful country house set in approximately an acre of landscaped gardens and grounds. Having been sympathetically maintained and extended over the years, the property tastefully blends new with old enhancing the charm and character of this historic building. Features include a central fireplace with sizable inglenook, a wealth of exposed beams throughout and oak floorboards synonymous with its timeless era. Reception space is plentiful on the ground floor with uncharacteristically light and well-appointed rooms. The kitchen has a range of integrated appliances along with granite worksurfaces, which continue into the utility room. Of particular note is the most recent addition of a glorious orangery looking out over the garden. Five bedrooms reside on the first floor with the triple aspect principal bedroom benefiting from en-suite facilities. Two contemporary styled bathrooms service the remaining bedrooms. The sizable grounds in which the property sits have been wonderfully maintained with manicured lawns interspersed with large well stocked shrub and plant beds and mature trees. Various stone patios provide places to relax or entertain and there is the benefit of a heated outdoor pool and fully fenced hardcourt tennis court. Accessed via electric wrought iron gates and a shingle driveway to the front of the property providing ample parking.
