Set on the outskirts of historic Winchelsea, Little Malt Cottage is a charming Grade II listed semi with river frontage and rural views. The house retains abundant period character — exposed beams, timber framing and a cosy fireplace with a log burner — and sits on a very large plot with a garden that backs directly onto the River Brede. Large kitchen/breakfast room with bifold doors and a terrace gives good flow to the rear outside space.
The well-proportioned layout includes two double bedrooms, two reception rooms and a useful attic room, offering comfortable main-residence accommodation or a peaceful second home. Low ceilings and sloping eaves in parts create a distinct cottage atmosphere but reduce usable headroom in some rooms. The property is presented for sale freehold and has an affordable Council Tax Band C.
Buyers should note the Grade II listing: repairs, alterations or modernisation will require listed-building consent and can be more costly and slower to carry out. Services and appliances mentioned have not been tested and the attic room may be limited for regular use. Broadband speeds are average, while mobile signal is excellent and flood risk is very low.
This property will suit buyers seeking character and waterside tranquillity rather than a turnkey modern home. With careful updating and respect for its listed status, the cottage offers unique charm, generous outdoor space and convenient access to Winchelsea and nearby Rye amenities.
