This attractive period cottage sits at the quiet end of Green Lane in South Chailey, offering three double bedrooms and lovely open views across the Sussex countryside. The house retains character features such as exposed brickwork, a feature woodburner and Tudor Revival detailing, while providing practical family accommodation including two bathrooms and off‑street parking on a private driveway.
The large, well-arranged rear garden is a standout asset — private, south-facing potential for a family’s outdoor life and with excellent scope for extension (subject to consents). The property is double glazed and warmed by an oil-fired boiler and radiators, making it comfortable now, but it would benefit from modernising in places to unlock greater energy efficiency and long‑term savings.
Buyers should note material facts: the home is solid-brick without assumed cavity insulation, heated by oil (not a community supply), and broadband speeds are slow locally. These factors are relevant for running costs and any future refurbishment plans. The cottage is freehold and in a low-crime village setting with good local amenities — shop, post office and schools within walking distance — and easy access to Lewes and Haywards Heath rail services.
Overall this is a characterful family cottage with immediate countryside appeal and sensible renovation potential. It will suit buyers wanting period charm, space outside and the chance to improve energy performance and interior finish over time.
