Chain free! Price Guide - £925,000 - £975,000.

Charming Victorian semi-detached cottage has been substantially extended in a manner wholly sympathetic to its original character, creating generous and versatile family accommodation arranged over three floors.

Nestled along a quiet country lane in an idyllic semi-rural setting, the property enjoys outstanding open countryside views in almost every direction.

Set within approximately three-quarters of an acre, the grounds comprise beautifully established gardens and an adjoining paddock, offering both privacy and a wonderful sense of space.

The property occupies an elevated position set back from the lane, creating an impressive approach and a peaceful retreat, popular with walkers accessing the nearby Wealden Way.

Internally, the accommodation includes a spacious kitchen/breakfast room, featuring a gas range cooker, alongside three reception rooms.

The principal sitting room boasts oak flooring and a striking marble fireplace.

The principal bedroom suite is equally impressive, with a beautifully appointed en-suite bathroom incorporating a Victorian-style roll-top bath with claw feet.

The three second-floor rooms interconnect and could easily be utilised as a self-contained guest suite or flexible family accommodation.

Originally constructed in 1893 as an estate cottage, the property retains a wealth of period features including original diamond-paned cast-iron windows, characterful internal details, a heart-shaped flower bed and a distinctive castellated hedge.

The cottage was sympathetically doubled in size in 2001, ensuring modern comfort while preserving its historic charm.

The grounds are a particular feature, with mature gardens including several oak trees - one believed to be over 250 years old - fruit trees, established flower beds and two rockeries formed from reclaimed stone from the original manor house.

Protective covenants on the surrounding land ensure the open countryside setting remains unspoilt.
