About
A Beautifully Restored Country Cottage with a Historic Bakery and Outstanding Potential Tucked away on peaceful Howbourne Lane, The Old Bakery is a charming character home combining period features, generous family accommodation and exciting future potential.
At the front of the property stands the detached brick bakery, dating back to 1870.
Previously granted planning permission for conversion into a self-contained annexe (Ref: Wd/2019/1238/F), it offers superb scope for multi-generational living, guest accommodation, a home office or studio.
The beautifully presented cottage extends to over 1,800 sq ft across three floors.
At its heart is a welcoming 21ft sitting room with a striking double-sided wood-burning stove, while the stylish country kitchen offers ample dining space and opens onto the rear garden via French doors.
The first floor features a spacious principal bedroom with en-suite, two further bedrooms and a family bathroom.
Two additional double bedrooms on the second floor provide excellent flexibility for growing families, guests or home working.
Outside, the private rear garden is ideal for entertaining, with a large terrace, lawn, vegetable beds and greenhouses.
To the front, mature planting, a summerhouse, ample parking and the historic bakery complete this unique home.
Located on the edge of the sought-after village of Buxted, the property enjoys a peaceful semi-rural setting within easy reach of local amenities, a mainline station with London connections, nearby Uckfield and the beautiful Buxted Park Estate.
A rare opportunity to acquire a distinctive village home with character, space and exceptional potential.
