Set at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Forest Row, this detached four-bedroom house offers a rare plot that slopes down to a stream and a mature ‘forest’ garden with fruit trees and a home office. The principal sitting room features a wood-burning stove and a covered balcony; the kitchen/breakfast room has a Rayburn capable of heating domestic hot water and radiators. Double glazing and mains gas central heating are already in place.
The property is best suited to a buyer seeking scope to update and personalise: the house requires renovation throughout and the exterior and gardens are overgrown and need landscaping. There is significant upside for someone who wants generous internal space (including a large under-house storage/basement) and outdoor privacy in an affluent, low-crime area close to village amenities and good commuter links.
Practical positives include off-street parking, useful ancillary outbuildings (outside WC, lean-to storage), and an established plot with direct access to footpaths, Ashdown Forest and local schools. Note the property is Freehold, in Council Tax band F — running costs are likely to be above average. EPC band D and low flood risk.
This is a project with real potential: buyers who value a secluded garden, flexible internal layout and proximity to village life will find a strong foundation here, while those seeking a turnkey move should expect to budget for refurbishment and external maintenance.
