Bower Cottage is a Grade II listed 17th‑century mid‑terrace with authentic exposed timbers and leaded windows, positioned on Burwash High Street in the High Weald AONB. The principal living room is generous and characterful with a feature (blocked) fireplace, split level and abundant historic detailing. A compact fitted kitchen opens to a private brick‑laid courtyard and there is a separate lawned garden around the corner that backs onto the recreation ground.
Arranged over three floors, the house provides three bedrooms and one bathroom; the top floor bedroom sits in the eaves with dormer and skylight plus useful tucked storage. Practical benefits include an en‑bloc garage, unrestricted on‑street parking, mains services and ultrafast broadband. The village location places shops, two pubs, an “outstanding” primary school and good walking country on the doorstep, with rail links to London from nearby stations.
Buyers should note its listed status will restrict alterations and could complicate repairs or modernisation; the title has known restrictions and easements and a neighbouring flying freehold affects a small part of the living room. The property is in Council Tax Band E and has an EPC rating of F, indicating that energy improvements are likely required. The plot is very small, there is no step‑free access and ceilings/room sizes are modest in places.
This cottage suits a buyer seeking period character within village life who is prepared to manage the constraints of a listed building and carry out sympathetic updating. It offers immediate charm, sensible parking and outside space, with potential to improve energy performance and internal layout subject to consents.
