Chain-free detached house with large garden, views and scope to extend (STPP).
Chain free detached house with large private plot and panoramic rural views
A detached four-bedroom house set in a large, private plot on the outskirts of Etchingham, offered chain free and with captivating south-facing countryside views. The property is comfortably habitable but requires updating; it presents a genuine opportunity to modernise, reconfigure and possibly extend (subject to planning) to better exploit the plot and views. The generous garden, mature borders and driveway for multiple cars are strong lifestyle assets for families seeking rural space within commuting distance.
Internally there are three double bedrooms plus a smaller fourth room currently used as a study, one shower room, and a double-aspect living room with a wood burner and French doors onto the garden. The kitchen/dining room also features a brick fireplace and wood-burner, and a spiral staircase up to the first floor adds character. An outbuilding/store adjacent to the driveway has potential for conversion or a garage (STPP).
Important practical points: the house needs renovation, has oil-fired central heating and private drainage, and currently carries a low EPC (G). Broadband and mobile reports are mixed — very slow broadband is recorded in some sources, so check connectivity if home working is essential. Rother District Council Tax Band G means running costs are higher than average. For buyers prepared to invest, this property offers scope to create a comfortable, characterful family home with excellent outdoor space and strong transport links via Etchingham station (approx. 1.2 miles).
