Set well back from Lewes Road on around half an acre, this detached cottage offers spacious family living with far-reaching countryside views. The ground floor flows through a lounge, dining room, farmhouse-style kitchen, garden room and utility, while two first-floor bedrooms and two shower rooms give comfortable sleeping accommodation. Three reception rooms and generous outbuildings create flexible space for hobbies, home working or storage.
Characterful features such as exposed beams and a range cooker add instant charm, and the large detached garage with workshop plus additional barns increase the property's practical appeal. The garden is mature and largely private, with vegetable patches, flower beds and room to extend subject to planning—ideal for families wanting outdoor space and scope to personalise.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the house uses electric storage heating and mains water, and broadband speeds are slow in this hamlet setting. Walls are solid brick with partial insulation assumed; some updating and energy improvements would be beneficial. Council tax is described as expensive, and any extension or conversion of outbuildings would require the usual planning consents.
Overall this is a rare rural opportunity for a family seeking privacy, scope and substantial outdoor space in an affluent, low-crime area, close to good local schools. A viewing is recommended to appreciate the setting, layout and potential the property offers.
