Tucked-away period home with private gardens and flexible living space.
Detached mid‑19th century former gardeners cottage in central Winchelsea
Garden Cottage is a mid‑19th century detached former gardener’s cottage occupying a tucked‑away spot in the heart of Winchelsea. The house offers generous family accommodation across about 1,497 sq ft, with three reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room, utility and a south‑facing conservatory that opens onto a wrap‑around garden. Two double bedrooms and a principal ensuite provide comfortable sleeping space; the third bedroom and family bathroom complete the first floor.
The property combines traditional features — exposed timbers, fireplace mantels and a corner dining-room hearth — with practical modern fittings in the kitchen and utility. Outside there are multiple paved and gravel seating areas and a small timber summer house, creating private spots for sun and shade throughout the day. Broadband is good for the area (up to c.66 Mbps) and there is regular bus and rail access nearby.
Buyers should be aware of a few material points: the dining‑room gas fire is condemned, the conservatory has single glazing and parts of the elevations are a mix of materials requiring ongoing maintenance. There is also a section of flat roof, a mix of timber and UPVC windows and an above‑average council tax band. The plot is modest in size, so while the garden is private and well‑arranged it is not large.
This property will appeal to families or downsizers seeking village life within walking distance of shops, school and village amenities, and to buyers who value character and garden privacy. It also offers scope for sympathetic updating or further improvement to increase comfort and value while retaining much of its period charm.
