Quince Tree Cottage is a delightful, Grade II Listed detached property, set in the charming and highly sought after village of Bolney. Features of note include exposed timbers and beams, south facing reception rooms, wooden latch doors throughout, leaded light windows and period feature fireplaces.

On the ground floor, a spacious entrance hall leads to the drawing room with inglenook fireplace and wood burning stove, and raised recessed nook to one corner. The kitchen/breakfast room has fitted units, integrated oven and hob, clay tiled flooring, butler's sink, and access to the useful pantry. The double aspect dining room is part of a sympathetic extension with a vaulted ceiling, exposed timbers and clay tiled flooring.

To the first floor is the master bedroom with ornate period fireplace, views across the garden and access to the adjacent family bathroom. Two further double bedrooms (both south facing) and an additional family bathroom complete the accommodation.

The property is situated in a rural yet convenient location in the village of Bolney; which boasts amenities including a village hall with recreational ground/play area, St Mary Magdalene Church and two traditional pubs. Bolney is also renowned for its award winning Wine Estate. About 3 miles' distance is the pretty village of Cuckfield with its boutique style shops and cafes, and the larger town of Haywards Heath, just a short distance further, offering a wider range of shops and amenities, as well as a mainline train service to London Victoria/London Bridge (about 44 and 42 minutes respectively). The A23/M23 also provides easy access to Brighton, Gatwick and Heathrow Airports, and the M25.

Sporting and recreational facilities include Wickwoods Country Club, golf at Mannings Heath and Haywards Heath, show jumping at Hickstead and racing at Brighton and Goodwood. There are also a number of excellent schools in the area, in both the state and private sector, including the popular Bolney CE Primary School, Handcross Park Preparatory School, Hurstpierpoint College, Cottesmore, Brighton College, Ardingly College and Burgess Hill School for Girls.

The property sits well within its plot, surrounded by a beautiful garden which benefits from a south-facing aspect. Vehicular access is to the side, from The Street, opening onto a gravel driveway which provides plenty of parking space and leads to the detached double garage.

The gardens are mostly laid to lawn, interspersed with a variety of mature trees, shrubs and well-stocked flower beds. An attractive circular paved terraced area creates the perfect spot for al fresco dining. There is also a charming summer house with its own terrace, which looks out onto the garden, and a separate seating area under the shade of the trees.
