Property description

*PRICE REDUCED*
A wonderful character cottage called 'Sunflower Cottage' is over 130 years old and set in the small village of Brede just outside of Rye. This property has been sympathetically restored by the current owners, combining a blend of period features with modern finishes and offers a good sized rear garden and off-road parking.

You approach the property via the driveway and enter from the front. As soon as you walk-in you are immediately struck with the character with traditional exposed beams running across the ceiling and walls in the lounge. There is a large window to the front allowing light to open out the space and a floor to ceiling feature brick fireplace taking centre stage with wall display lights either side.

Following on from this space a traditional wooden latch door leads to the kitchen with a range of newly fitted light-coloured Shaker style units accompanied by solid Oak work-surfaces, contemporary tiled splash backs and a new free-standing five ring hob and oven perfect for cooking those Sunday roasts. This lovely cottage style kitchen is complemented with exposed ceiling beams and stable door leading out to the garden.

Leading from the kitchen to the rear of the house is a small utility room area housing the newly replaced boiler and fitted with an Oak counter and space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer. The bathroom which is finished with a corner bath housing a mixer tap and shower attachment, tiled walls, w.c and wash hand basin.

Upstairs you will find two double bedrooms to the front and rear both with character exposed wood doors. The room to the front has a floor to ceiling brick feature fireplace with reclaimed 'boat hull' ceiling beams to each end, and the room to the rear has a window looking out to the garden with uninterrupted views to the tree lined countryside. Both bedrooms also have good sized loft spaces providing plenty of extra storage space.

The 'blank canvas' garden is accessed from the kitchen & side gate and runs to the side and rear of the house with a newly laid sun patio and pathway joining the lawn with mature shrubs to the rear. The garden is South-facing so enjoys sunshine for most of the day making it perfect for adding your own vegetable or flower garden to complete this idyllic country cottage.

Everything has been checked over and repaired or replaced as necessary including the roof which comes with a 5 year guarantee, The boiler (5 year guarantee), a new kitchen, oven and fuse board including inspection, plumbing inspection and new carpets throughout. So the cottage is ready to move into without worrying about any of the usual maintenance issues associated with a property of this age.

Brede is a village located four miles to the West of Rye offering the country lifestyle with a close community feel. The local pub is the Red Lion which is a 15th-century inn serving local beers and fresh food.

This truly is the ideal setting surrounded by countryside and other local villages, whilst being able to pop into Rye to consume the charm and history of the town. There is a wide range of activities to explore with music and art having a big role to play. Antique and art houses can be found across the area along with a diverse range of pubs and restaurants to cover all tastes.
