Set in a truly picturesque setting with stunning views over the rolling hills of the Sussex countryside, this semi-detached Victorian cottage is only a few minutes drive of the town centre and mainline station into London so you really can enjoy the best of both worlds. This property provides neatly-presented accommodation, having been updated by the current owners, including a full re-wire and new boiler in the past 5 years, new kitchen, new bathroom and refurbished wood flooring to the ground floor. There is also potential for further enlargement, subject to the necessary consents and the sellers have had plans drawn for a double bedroom with en-suite in the attic space, with access for extra stair flight and tails for utilities already installed. We understand the adjoining neighbours have already converted their attic space and the views would be even more breath-taking at this level.
The entrance hall features practical brick flooring and leads to a cloakroom with wash basin and WC, and a playroom or snug at the front of the house which has some useful storage built-in. The double-aspect galley kitchen has space for freestanding appliances, which may be available by separate negotiation and plenty of worktop space. The double aspect sitting/dining room includes a woodburner and enjoys lovely views over the garden and adjoining farmland and countryside beyond. A stable door leads out onto the rear garden from the hallway.
Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms with far-reaching views to the rear and two generous single bedrooms overlooking farmland at the front, the larger of which could potentially take a double bed. The family bathroom is fitted with a heritage-style suite and includes a shower over the bath. There are some lovely period features in the house, with picture rails and sash windows as well as original cast iron fireplaces in two of the bedrooms and quality pitch pine floor in the living areas.
Outside, the sheltered front garden features a lawn and flower borders behind mature hedging. An unusual feature is a rainwater harvester below ground in the front garden, collecting water from the guttering which can then be used to water your garden during the dryer spells. The generous rear garden wraps around the side and rear of the house, with traditional rustic post and rail fencing to make the most of the beautiful views over the adjoining farmland and countryside beyond. The gently sloping lawn is a perfect space for children to play and is a blank canvas for keen gardeners, with a variety of roses and shrubs, together with a fine Wisteria and a grapevine, with edible grapes, around the rear and south walls of the house. The garden is west facing, with sunshine throughout the day and into the evening with the most fabulous sunsets to enjoy from the house and garden.
The property also benefits from driveway parking for 3-4 cars, as well as an additional vehicle in the driveway opening, and a timber garden shed with power and light connected providing useful storage. There is also external power ready to be connected to an EV charger if required.
This charming property really is a rural idyll with miles of country walks on your doorstep, yet the town of Crowborough within easy reach. The very best of both worlds and for sale with no onward chain so you could be moving in without delay.
