Picturesque semi-detached Victorian cottage on the rural outskirts of Ardingly. Rose Cottage is a delightful semi-detached property, originally believed to have been built as a worker's cottage in the nineteenth century, and significantly extended in the 1960s. It is situated in pretty, well-stocked gardens on a private rural lane on the outskirts of Ardingly, and offers comfortable, well-presented accommodation arranged over two floors. On the ground floor is a spacious, dual aspect sitting room with a working fireplace and an adjoining garden room, which can be used as a study; lying across the hall is the dining room, part of the oldest portion of the house. To the rear is the large open plan kitchen/dining room, a wonderful bright space, with space for a table and chairs and a good range of bespoke wall hung and undercounter Shaker-style solid oak cabinets, complemented by granite worktops; the adjoining utility room is formed from the original bakehouse, and has space for appliances. The utility room and dining area both have underfloor heating. On the first floor, the principal bedroom has fitted wardrobes and an en suite shower room with power shower. There are three further bedrooms, one with a basin, and one with fitted cupboards; these are served by a family bathroom with shower cubicle with power shower and bath. To the rear of the utility room, accessed from outside, is an attached brick and timber store and a potting shed. The house is approached from Church Lane by a driveway offering parking space for two cars ahead of the detached garage, which has power connected; there is additional space to park on the lane. Rose Cottage is set back from the lane behind hedging and fencing, with a lawn bordered by well-stocked beds with an abundance of shrubs and flowers at the front. There is side access to the rear garden, which is divided into distinct sections; close to the house is a wide, paved pathway, accessed by French doors from the garden room and a door from the kitchen, where it opens out to provide seating space. Beyond lies the lawn, with a pretty pergola with climbing roses and a further sun-terrace providing space for table and chairs; beyond lies a more private portion of lawn, well-screened by hedging.
