Charming three-bed cottage with mature garden and large outbuilding.
Three bedrooms in a period semi-detached cottage
Fir Tree Cottage is a charming three-bedroom semi-detached cottage tucked away off Ersham Road, offering a sincere blend of period character and practical updates. The mature garden with a prominent fir tree and a generous outbuilding give the property clear outdoor appeal and useful storage or workshop space. Inside, a bright modern-fitted kitchen and a sunny garden room add everyday comfort and flexibility.
Rooms are small-to-medium, reflecting the property’s original proportions, and there is a single family bathroom, so the layout best suits a couple, small family or downsizer who values space outside as much as indoor living. Heating is mains gas via a boiler and radiators and double glazing was installed post-2002, but the original cavity walls are assumed to be uninsulated — further insulation work could improve comfort and running costs.
Practical conveniences include off-street parking, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, plus regular bus routes to Hailsham and Eastbourne. The area is generally affluent with low crime, and nearby primary schools have good Ofsted ratings; one local secondary reports a weaker inspection outcome, which some buyers may wish to consider.
Overall, this cottage offers genuine countryside character, a generous garden and useful outbuilding on a decent plot. It will particularly appeal to buyers seeking a period home with outdoor space and scope for modest energy-efficiency improvements or interior refresh to personalise the layout.
