Sackville Road, Hailsham, BN27 2DY

A proper period house, waiting for someone to make it their own. - Sackville Road sits in the kind of central Hailsham location that takes a little time to fully appreciate.

The Common Pond - the town's long-standing green heart - is a short walk away, and the Cuckoo Trail, one of East Sussex's best-loved traffic-free routes for walking and cycling, is practically on the doorstep.

The High Street, Waitrose, a leisure centre with pool and bowling alley, independent cafes and a traditional weekly market are all within easy reach on foot.

For days out or the daily commute, Polegate station is around 2.6 miles away with direct services to Eastbourne, London Bridge, Gatwick and Brighton - and the A22 puts Eastbourne within roughly 20 minutes by car.

Step inside and the bones of the house speak for themselves.

Bay windows draw the light into the front rooms, chimney breasts give each principal room a natural focal point, and Bedroom 2 retains its original black-iron fireplace - the kind of detail that reminds you what Victorian builders were actually capable of.

The layout runs to two well-considered floors: a hallway leading to a living room and separate dining room, a kitchen and bathroom to the rear on the ground floor, and three bedrooms above.

The whole house is ready for someone to bring it back to life - and with the structure, the features and the setting already in place, the hardest work is already done.

- To the front, a red-brick pathway leads to the entrance behind a low boundary wall.

To the rear, the garden has a synthetic lawn with established planted beds, a block-paved patio and a timber pergola - a decent canvas to work with alongside the house itself. Parking is on-street.
