Set on a generous 0.25-acre plot opposite Catsfield’s church, Thatch Cottage is a detached, single-storey thatched property offering about 1,421 sq ft of flexible living space. The house retains strong period character — exposed beams, parquet and timber floors, fireplaces and a conservatory — and will appeal to buyers seeking a village home with scope to improve.
The accommodation includes four bedrooms, two bathrooms/ cloakrooms, a sitting room, snug/dining room, kitchen/breakfast room and a useful conservatory. Gated off-street parking for several cars and a large detached garden store add to the practicality for family use or a countryside downsizer wanting single-floor living.
Material modernisation is required throughout. The property description references oil central heating while the data notes an air-source heat pump and underfloor electric heating; prospective buyers should verify heating systems and service history. The thatched roof and traditional features will need ongoing, specialist maintenance; the house is offered freehold and is not Listed, so there may be scope for extension or redevelopment subject to planning consent.
Practical considerations include slow broadband speeds, average mobile signal, above-average council tax and an area classified as deprived — balanced by low crime, good local primary schooling and a rural, low-traffic village setting. The location is convenient for Battle mainline station (about 2.5 miles). Buyers should view to assess room sizes and the level of refurbishment required.
