Set within just under 1½ acres of mature grounds on the edge of Ashdown Forest, this detached foresters’ cottage offers a rare countryside lifestyle with excellent privacy and scope. The original brick cottage, extended over time, retains character features such as exposed brick fireplaces and a covered veranda, while the garden contains specimen trees, a well, summer house, greenhouse and substantial outbuildings.
The ground floor layout is flexible: a hall, sitting room with wood-burning stove and French doors, kitchen/breakfast room with a Stanley range, conservatory, dining room (or bedroom 3), utility, and a study with en-suite shower that could serve as a fourth bedroom. Upstairs are two further bedrooms with fitted cupboards and a family bathroom. Off-street parking is provided by a generous gravel forecourt accessed via wooden gates.
Practical points to note: heating is by an oil-fired boiler with the range contributing to hot water; drainage is private; walls are traditional granite/whinstone and assumed uninsulated; broadband speeds are very slow. The house will suit buyers wanting a character property with substantial outdoor space who are prepared to update or renovate services and interiors to modern standards.
This home will particularly appeal to families or buyers seeking a quiet, private rural base close to village amenities and schools, with easy access to larger towns and transport links. The substantial outbuildings and greenhouse add versatility for storage, hobby uses or small-scale ancillary enterprises.
