Summary - WHITEFIELD SWAINHAM LANE ST. LEONARDS-ON-SEA TN38 8ED
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Period cottage on a huge plot — character features and room to modernise.
Three bedrooms with versatile third room off the landing
A charming three-bedroom semi-detached cottage set on a large plot in a quiet village location. The house offers character features — exposed beams, vaulted kitchen ceiling and traditional brickwork — alongside practical space: two reception rooms, off-street parking for two to three cars and a generous lawned garden. Its layout includes an open-plan living/breakfast area, dining hall, cloakroom and a staircase up to a third bedroom, suitable for a home office or occasional guest room.
The property will particularly appeal to families seeking village life near good primary and secondary schools, or buyers wanting a period home with scope to modernise. The house is freehold, of solid-brick construction (circa 1900–1929) and double-glazed; mains broadband is fast and local crime rates are low. There is no flood risk and local transport links include a nearby mainline station.
Notable practical considerations: heating is oil-fired via boiler and radiators, and the original solid walls are assumed to be uninsulated, which may affect energy costs and future improvement plans. The kitchen is attractive and rustic but has dated cabinets and features that may suit updating. There is a single family bathroom and the third bedroom is reached by a narrow staircase from the landing, which may be less convenient for some buyers.
Overall this cottage offers a rare combination of period character, a huge plot and village convenience. It is best suited to buyers prepared to invest in thermal upgrades and cosmetic modernisation to maximise comfort and long-term value.
