Orchard Cottage is a charming 1930s detached period home on a very large plot at the edge of Alfriston, offering southerly views across the Cuckmere Valley and easy access to village amenities. The house blends original character — oak beams, terracotta sills, an inglenook fireplace and cast-iron radiators — with recent practical upgrades such as double glazing and a modern kitchen installed two years ago.
The ground floor benefits from underfloor heating throughout, creating comfortable living areas including a large open-plan living/dining room and a snug opening onto a private courtyard. Upstairs the principal bedroom includes a dressing room and an en-suite with a roll-top bath; two further bedrooms provide family flexibility. A partly boarded loft with power presents potential for storage or further development subject to consent.
Externally the property is private and well planted, enclosed by traditional flint and brick walls with a sunny south-facing garden — an obvious asset for outdoor living and family use. Practical points to note: the EPC is rated E, there is a medium flood risk for the area, broadband speeds are slow and council tax is above average. These factors should be considered alongside the house’s character, location and generous plot.
