Latchets is a beautifully presented four-bedroom period cottage that blends original character with modern comforts. Recent renovations have refreshed the interiors while retaining exposed beams, inglenook fireplaces and wood-burning stoves that create a warm, characterful living space. The vaulted conservatory/dining room and L-shaped sitting room both open to the large rear garden that backs onto woodland — ideal for families who want indoor-outdoor living and tranquillity.
Practical features suit everyday family life: a well-equipped traditional-style kitchen with utility room, three bathrooms including an en-suite to the principal bedroom, off-street parking and a double cart barn. The property sits close to Crowborough mainline station and local schools, and benefits from fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, making it convenient for commuting and remote working.
Buyers should note a few material considerations. Heating is oil-fired and the kitchen hob uses LPG, which can be more expensive and require fuel deliveries compared with mains gas. Drainage is private (cesspool), meaning ongoing maintenance and emptying costs. The property is in council tax band F, reflecting higher local charges.
Overall this detached cottage offers substantial family accommodation, generous gardens and strong village-edge character. It will suit purchasers seeking a ready-to-move-in period home with modernised fittings, spacious outdoor space and easy access to transport and local amenities, provided they accept the running costs associated with oil heating and private drainage.
