Property description & features

  • Tenure: Freehold
  • Plenty of character
  • Nestled in The South Downs
  • Beautiful views
  • Half an acre garden
Sweethaws is a charming Grade II Listed fifteenth century cottage that features red brick elevations and a beautiful thatched roof, while inside there are exposed timber beams, brick and exposed wooden flooring and various modern fittings. The ground floor has three comfortable, flexible reception rooms including the triple aspect family room with its French doors opening onto the splendid rear garden. There is also a useful study and a sitting room with brick flooring and a handsome brick-built inglenook fireplace with its original timber lintel. Additionally, the ground floor has a well-equipped kitchen with farmhouse-style units and an Everhot range. Two staircases lead to the first floor accommodation. One provides direct access to the principal bedroom, with the other leading to the landing with access to two further wellpresented double bedrooms, plus the family bathroom with its bathtub and separate shower unit.

The cottage is set in a delightful garden, with views across the stunning countryside of the South Downs. At the side, the gravel driveway provides parking space and access to the detached double garaging block, for further parking and home storage. The garden is mostly to the rear and benefits from a west-facing aspect, welcoming plenty of sunlight through the summer afternoons and evenings. It includes paved terracing for al fresco dining and rolling lawns, bordered by established shrubs and hedgerows, and a wealth of mature trees.

The property is in the small hamlet of Alciston, seven miles east of Lewes and on the edge of the South Downs National Park. Local amenities can be found in Polegate five miles to west, or Lewes, including supermarkets, a good choice of shopping, and an excellent selection of cafes, bars and restaurants. Lewes also has a leisure centre and the famous Pells Pool lido, while for those enjoying the great outdoors, the stunning South Downs National Park offers great walking, cycling and riding routes. There are several good and outstanding-rated schools in the area, including Cuckmere House School and Seaford Head School. Mainline train services to London are available from the nearby Berwick station, via Lewes (approximately 1 hour 30 minutes to London Victoria).

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
