Guide Price £500,000 to £525,000
Situated in the much sought after area of MEADS this unique VICTORIAN COACH HOUSE dating from 1890, has been sympathetically modernised and renovated to provide comfortable, well-presented accommodation. Decorated to a high standard along with period details and fittings throughout, including an inviting open fireplace, ‘Robin Hill Cottage’ exudes great character and charm.
Enjoying a spacious interior, the ground floor includes a cosy SITTING ROOM, BESPOKE KITCHEN/DINING ROOM and OFFICE/STUDY with adjoining WC, which could easily be reverted to a utility room or subject to planning extended to create a third bedroom with ensuite. The first floor is no less impressive with TWO DUAL ASPECT DOUBLE BEDROOMS, with the master bedroom again benefitting from a cast iron working fireplace and is completed with a stylishly renovated PERIOD STYLE BATHROOM. Externally there are connecting side and front gardens which wrap-around the property, and while there is plenty of free parking directly outside for all, it also benefits from off road parking. Facing west, the front garden enjoys sunshine throughout the day and during the summer the larger garden area to the side is filled with sunshine. For those who enjoy al-fresco dining, the decking area makes the most of the last evening rays.
Being only a short distance from the convenience of Meads High Street shops, the seafront promenade and café at Holywell, two dog friendly parks with excellent access to the South Downs, Beachy Head and various other local amenities which include artisan shops, welcoming public houses, and a vast array of restaurants in and around Eastbourne Town Centre, the peaceful position of this property makes it a must view and is highly recommended by Sole Agents Messrs Hunt Frame.
