Set on about 1.27 acres (tbc) at the edge of Forest Row, this detached brick bungalow offers rare private countryside living with immediate scope to create a much larger home. The single‑storey layout currently provides 2/3 bedrooms, a bathroom, kitchen and reception space across roughly 800 sq ft, with a large loft and grounds that present clear potential for enlargement subject to planning (Wealden District Council).
The plot and rural outlook are the property’s strongest assets: south‑facing grounds, perimeter trees and open arable fields give high privacy and excellent natural light. The location is peaceful yet only about 1.5 miles from Forest Row village amenities and regular bus links to nearby towns, making it suitable for downsizers seeking single‑level living or a buyer wanting a substantial garden and development opportunity.
The bungalow requires renovation throughout. The roof shows weathering, external brickwork and internal areas will need cosmetic and likely mechanical upgrades; the EPC is rated F. These issues reduce immediate move‑in readiness but also lower the entry price for someone prepared to invest in improvement or extend into the loft (subject to consent).
Practicalities: freehold tenure, no notable flood risk, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband. Council tax is above average. Buyers should factor refurbishment costs, planning timelines and the listed plot boundaries into their budget and schedule. Overall: a compact, characterful country bungalow on a very large plot — ideal for a buyer who values land, privacy and the chance to redesign a home to their own specifications.
