Summary - 1 FORESTRY COTTAGES WHATLINGTON BATTLE TN33 0NT
4 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Character-filled family home with large garden and woodland access.
Four double bedrooms with countryside views
Set on a large plot at the edge of Whatlington, this 1930s semi-detached cottage offers four double bedrooms, generous living space and direct access to adjoining farmland and woodland — ideal for families who value outdoor life and long views. The layout includes three reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room opening to a pergola-covered sun terrace, and a private, well-stocked garden that delivers seasonal colour and shelter.
Practical features include a gated driveway with ample off-street parking and a detached heritage-style double car barn. The house is warmed by an oil-fired boiler and radiators and benefits from double glazing (installation date unknown). Interiors are described as well presented and deceptively spacious, with a wood-burning stove in the dual-aspect sitting room providing a cosy focal point.
Important considerations: there is a single bathroom for four double bedrooms, and the property uses oil for heating (not a community supply), which may affect running costs and future fuel choices. Council tax is above average, and the house dates from the 1930–1949 period, so buyers should allow for age-related maintenance and potential upgrading where desired.
This home suits families seeking rural tranquillity with excellent outdoor access and characterful accommodation. Its combination of generous indoor space, large plot and striking countryside views make it a rare find in an ageing rural neighbourhood, while the practical drawbacks are clear and manageable for buyers prepared to plan for heating and bathroom provision.
