Compact freehold investment with immediate rental income and village access.
Adjacent to Ashdown Forest with direct rural views
Set directly beside Ashdown Forest this compact freehold cottage offers immediate rental income and strong village appeal. The property sits off an unmade road about half a mile from the village centre, with off-street parking to the front and a private rear garden. Broadband and mobile signals are excellent and the area is very affluent with very low crime.
The property is let under a longstanding tenancy that began in 1973. Current rent is £600 pcm from May 2024 (rising to £720 pcm from May 2026 for three years), producing visible income now; the tenant is responsible for council tax, water rates and internal upkeep. The landlord remains responsible for roof, structure, external decoration and building insurance.
Accommodation is modest at approximately 442 sq ft (41.06 sq m). The footprint and internal spaces are small and the exterior shows an older rendered finish with age-related wear. The cottage is suitable for buy-to-let investors seeking a stable income and easy management, or an owner-occupier prepared to accept limited space and an existing tenancy.
Buyers should note the property likely needs routine maintenance and cosmetic updating given its age, and an EPC is yet to be applied for. The tenancy terms and small internal area materially affect future re-letting or owner-occupation options, so purchasers should review the tenancy documentation and consider refurbishment potential.
