Within an idyllic downland setting and with glorious views - an exceptionally picturesque and beautifully restored period house within secluded gardens.

Commanding glorious views from a delightfully tucked away downland location on the outskirts of Alfriston this Grade II listed property has been carefully improved over the years retaining much of its original period character and charm. Featuring a fine inglenook fireplace and a wealth of impressive exposed oak timbers, the accommodation is extremely well lit by double glazed windows and most ceiling heights are unusually generous for a period house of this age. Only an internal inspection will convey the high appeal of this delightful home.

The property is situated within an elevated garden setting just above Winton Street which is surrounded by the scenic downland countryside of the South Downs National Park. The village of Alfriston is easily accessible just to the south of Well Cottage and can be reached over the fields by a footpath. The surrounding downland provides wonderful recreational opportunity and excellent shopping facilities and schools are available at Eastbourne and at Seaford. There are rail services to London Victoria and to Gatwick from nearby Berwick Station. There is world class operat at nearby Glyndebourne and channel ferries are from Newhaven.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
