Summary - CHRISTMAS COTTAGE LOWER LAKE BATTLE TN33 0BE
3 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Grade II listed — restrictions and maintenance implications apply
Thoughtfully modernised yet characterful, Christmas Cottage blends period charm with practical family living. The open-plan kitchen with breakfast bar and garden access creates a sociable hub, while the separate living room with wood burner and exposed beams offers cosy evenings. Three well-proportioned bedrooms and two bathrooms suit family life or flexible home working. Off-street parking for three on a private gravel drive and a decent rear garden with patio, lawn and greenhouse add valuable outdoor space.
Significant refurbishment around ten years ago replaced the roof, electrics, plumbing and introduced handmade timber windows, so the home benefits from modern services while retaining its historic features: mosaic hallway tiles, timber doors with black ironmongery and exposed beams. The compact footprint (approx 1,117 sq ft) is efficient and feels larger thanks to the open-plan kitchen/living arrangement.
Buyers should note the property is Grade II listed; that status will cause restrictions and potential delays for alterations and may affect insurance and maintenance costs. The wider area records higher crime levels than average, which may concern some purchasers. Broadband is fast and the station and town centre are within walking distance, making the house particularly well suited to commuters.
Overall this is a character-rich, medium-sized family home for buyers who value period detail with modern updates, appreciate convenient parking and walking access to Battle’s amenities — and who are comfortable with listed-property responsibilities.
