Description Southease is a four bedroom brick and tile-hung house situated in an enviable location on one of Cuckfield’s most sought-after private roads. It has been owned by the same family since it was built in the early 1950s, and presents an excellent opportunity for refurbishment or redevelopment. Although it is in need of improvement, Southease has clearly been a very happy family home and offers its next owners huge potential, subject to planning permission. The current accommodation extends to 2,224 sq ft and is arranged over two floors; the full layout can be seen on the floorplans. Southease sits at the top of a superb two-acre, south-facing garden adjacent to the surrounding fields and countryside, and has some views of the South Downs. The garden is mainly laid to lawn, gently sloping away from the house and bordered by hedging, with a York stone terrace and kitchen garden next to the house. To the front, the property is screened by established conifers, with an in-and-out driveway leading past a timber garage and the front of the house to a parking area.
