A rare Grade II Listed Tudor cottage set on an extensive, private plot near Hailsham. The house retains strong period character — inglenook fireplace, exposed beams and quarry-tiled floors — while offering a large 27' kitchen/breakfast room and a 25' double-aspect sitting room suited to family life and entertaining.
The gardens extend to approximately 360' in width and include mature trees, a vegetable plot, greenhouse area, rear courtyard with pergola and substantial outbuildings. The wide private forecourt provides plentiful off-street parking and there is planning permission in place for a double garage with a studio above, adding practical expansion potential.
Important practical points: the property is Grade II Listed, which restricts alterations and can complicate refurbishment or extension. There is only one full bathroom upstairs and council tax is noted as quite expensive. Despite tasteful updating, any significant changes will require listed-building consent.
This home suits buyers seeking a character-filled family house with large gardens and scope for outbuilding development or a studio conversion. It will particularly appeal to gardeners and those wanting countryside character within easy reach of Hailsham’s amenities and rail links.
