Burnt Barn Cottage is a spacious, characterful three-bedroom detached cottage set on about 0.7 acre of private gardens adjoining farmland. The house combines genuine period charm — exposed timbers, a large inglenook fireplace and cottage-style doors — with substantial practical upgrades completed in recent years, including a bespoke kitchen (2022), rewiring, replumbing, new staircase and modern bathroom fittings. A light-filled English Heritage-style garden room opens to a terrace and lawn, extending living space into the garden.
The detached outbuildings are a major asset: an open-fronted two-bay garage and a larger traditional timber-framed garage with an excellent studio/office above. That first-floor studio has light, power and good headroom and offers clear potential as an ancillary workspace or hobby room, with scope for conversion to ancillary accommodation subject to planning. Driveway parking is generous and the grounds include mature trees, a summerhouse and shed.
Practical points to note: heating is oil-fired with a boiler and radiators (not a community supply), and the property’s solid brick walls are understood to have no insulation. Broadband speeds are reported as slow and council tax is expensive. The cottage is in a rural hamlet setting — quiet and private but approximately 3.5 miles from Battle station and local services, and around 1.2 miles from Catsfield village amenities.
This home will suit buyers seeking a substantial, character-rich family cottage or a countryside lifestyle base with useful outbuildings and flexible studio space. The recent renovations reduce immediate work, but buyers should budget for running costs associated with oil heating, potential wall insulation upgrades, and any desired modern connectivity improvements.
