Quintessential 1700s cottage backing onto fields with gardens and no onward chain..
Grade II listed cottage dating from c.1700s, rich period character
A Grade II listed cottage dating to the 1700s, set on a country lane and backing directly onto open fields. The house offers traditional charm with exposed beams, an open fireplace, and gardens to the front, side and a sloped rear that captures rural views. With three bedrooms and two reception rooms across about 846 sq ft, the layout suits small families or those seeking a character home in a peaceful hamlet.
Practical features include off-street parking for one car, mains water and electricity, and proximity to Burwash village amenities and an outstanding primary school. There is no onward chain, and Etchingham station is a short drive for rail links toward London, making this attractive for commuters who value village life.
Buyers should note the property’s listed status will restrict alterations and could complicate repairs or upgrades. Heating is by electric storage heaters throughout and broadband speeds are slow, which may affect running costs and working-from-home convenience. Drainage is to a shared sewage treatment plant, and the cottage’s low ceilings and small rooms reflect its historic construction rather than modern open-plan living.
Overall, this is a character-rich cottage with good outdoor space and scenic outlooks, best suited to purchasers who value period features and countryside location and who are comfortable managing the limitations and responsibilities of a listed, older home.
