An attractively proportioned detached bungalow set on a large, elevated plot in Heathfield, about 0.6 miles from the High Street. The house offers a flexible layout with two reception rooms (one adaptable to a fourth bedroom), three double bedrooms, a wet room, family bathroom and a recently added conservatory. A balcony from the sitting room and a well-screened terrace take advantage of tranquil elevated views and mature, landscaped gardens.
There is useful ancillary space: a studio with kitchenette and bathroom attached to the rear of the garage that could serve as an independent annex or home office. Ample parking is provided by a double driveway and garage with space for up to three vehicles. The property’s footprint is generous (c.2,589 sq ft reported) and suits buyers seeking spacious accommodation on a large plot close to town amenities.
Practical considerations: the house was constructed in the 1960s and shows its mid-century character, but some elements are dated. Glazing dates from before 2002, walls have partial cavity insulation (assumed) and the EPC is D. Council tax is above average. Buyers should expect some updating and potential insulation/heating improvements to increase energy efficiency.
Location is a strong selling point — walking distance to Heathfield’s independent shops, cafes and Waitrose and within reasonable driving distance of mainline stations at Stonegate and Buxted for services to London. The setting and versatile accommodation will appeal to families wanting space and character, or those looking to adapt part of the property into a self-contained unit.
