Positioned in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty near Bodiam Castle, this three-storey family cottage combines countryside character with practical living. The ground floor offers a semi-open plan living and dining area, wooden floors and a sitting room centred on a log burner — a cosy heart for family life and entertaining. The kitchen has country-style fittings with space for ranges and large appliances.
Upstairs the principal bedroom enjoys its own private balcony and expansive views; an ensuite shower room adds convenience. The second bedroom includes a feature fireplace and a handy walk-in cupboard with plumbing for laundry. The top floor provides a flexible office or guest room plus a third bedroom with eaves storage — useful as a dressing room or teen space.
Outside there’s a fenced rear garden with block-paved patio, deck, lawn and two powered sheds, plus off-street parking to the front. Woodland walks are accessed from a track beside the house, and local attractions, schools and mainline rail links are a short drive away — appealing for countryside buyers who still need good commuter and school access.
Important practical points: the home is heated by an oil boiler (tank stored in a garden shed) and shares drainage via a neighbouring cesspit. Broadband speeds are slow and the solid-brick walls may offer limited insulation without upgrading. These factors are worth factoring into running-cost and improvement plans.
