Tucked in the sought-after village of Five Ash Down, Ashdown Cottage is a 17th‑century detached home that combines period character with family-friendly living. The extended layout centres on a vaulted dining area opening from a rustic kitchen, plus a cosy sitting room with an inglenook and log burner — spaces made for everyday life and weekend entertaining.
The ground floor includes a study for working from home, a useful utility room and cloakroom to handle muddy boots, and a dual-aspect lounge in the extension. Upstairs offers four generous bedrooms and one family bathroom, providing comfortable sleeping accommodation for a growing family.
Outside the plot continues to impress with a large, private garden, mature hedging and an extensive gravel driveway providing off‑street parking and turning. The location is quiet and village‑centric, close to a shop, pub and countryside walks, with very low crime and fast broadband for modern living.
Practical considerations: the house dates from 1600 so ongoing maintenance and sympathetic repairs should be expected, and there is only a single family bathroom for four bedrooms. Council tax is expensive. Overall this is a well‑presented period home with strong kerb appeal and scope to adapt spaces to suit modern family needs.
