The list price of £899,950 seems reasonable given the location and land size. Comparing it to similar properties on Shirleys, while prices vary based on specifics, the property is in line with this area’s pricing trend. The need for modernisation might slightly affect the price per square foot comparison if data were available. However, the overall value considering the location and grounds remains competitive within the market.

The property appears to be in generally good condition but could benefit from some modernisation. While the structure looks sound, the interior photos suggest that an update to the kitchen and bathrooms would significantly improve its overall presentation and marketability. The property shows some signs of wear and tear which are to be expected with a property of it’s age.

The property is located in Shirleys, Ditchling, a highly prestigious private road on the outskirts of Ditchling, a picturesque village in the South Downs National Park. This offers a peaceful yet convenient location with good access to local amenities and transport links to larger towns. The proximity to highly-rated schools in Hassocks further enhances its appeal, making it a desirable location for families.

The property boasts a sizeable garden, larger than many properties in the area, as evidenced in the photographs. While the exact plot size isn’t specified, the extensive lawn, mature trees and landscaping indicate a generous amount of outdoor space, a rare and valuable feature, especially in a desirable location such as this.
