Character-filled, low-maintenance home close to station and South Downs access.
Chain free two-bedroom detached cottage
A charming two-bedroom detached cottage offered chain free in Polegate, mixing period features with practical living. The double-glazed conservatory and bay picture window bring light into compact living spaces, while the kitchen/diner suits everyday family life or shared first-time purchase. Gas central heating and a private paved courtyard keep running costs and external upkeep low.
This home is well positioned a short walk from Polegate station, local shops and main roads, making commutes and weekend escapes to the South Downs straightforward. Nearby primary and secondary schools add convenience for young families or buyers planning ahead. The property is freehold and modest in size, appealing to first-time buyers or investors seeking a town-centre cottage with character.
Buyers should note clear, material drawbacks: the EPC rated E and assumed cavity wall construction currently lack insulation, which may affect energy costs and improvement budgets. Broadband speeds are reported slow and the area records above-average crime rates — factors worth checking before committing. The courtyard is small and low-maintenance rather than a full garden, and some cosmetic updating is likely to unlock better value.
Overall, this compact detached cottage offers authentic period character, convenient transport links and chain-free purchase for buyers willing to invest in energy improvements and cosmetic upgrades to boost comfort and long-term value.
