A recently refurbished three-bedroom detached cottage set on a large plot with expansive southerly views across the Pevensey Levels. The owners have updated the kitchen and bathrooms and added new flooring upstairs, leaving a bright, move-in-ready family home with attractive parquet on the ground floor and a spacious conservatory overlooking the garden.
The house blends traditional character with modern fittings: solid brick construction, double glazing, an oil-fired boiler and radiators, and integrated kitchen appliances. The site includes a garage, driveway parking, outbuilding storage and a generous lawned garden with paved sitting areas ideal for outdoor living and entertaining.
Buyers should note a few practical realities of this semi-rural home. Heating is oil-fuelled (off-network) which can be more costly and requires a delivery arrangement. Drainage is private, so ongoing maintenance responsibility lies with the owner. The solid-brick walls are assumed to have no cavity insulation, and the EPC rating is E — there is scope (and likely cost) to improve energy efficiency if desired.
Located along a quiet country lane between the Pevensey Levels and the High Weald AONB, the property will suit families or those seeking country living with good broadband and very low local crime. Local shops, primary schooling and a medical centre are within a short drive in Herstmonceux, with larger services and mainline rail connections available in Hailsham, Battle or Polegate.
