Backfelds End is a deceptively spacious converted former stable block that now comprises a detached house of brick construction, with pebble dashed elevations, under a pitched tiled roof with a mix of double glazed and single pane timber casement windows and some Velux windows.
The property we understand was built around 1901 and was converted by the current owners family into a house during the 1950’s. The property is set on a quiet green lane called Hogtrough Lane on the edge of Winchelsea, being within walking distance of the town’s amenities including village shop, pub, church, village hall, community playing field area and village primary school.
Backfields End is approached from Rectory Lane (A259) down Hogtrough Lane through a wooden picket gate leading onto a paved path that leads through the garden to approach a central enclosed entrance porch. Accessing the entrance porch leads to an inner front door that opens into a hallway with parquet flooring. Accessed off the hallway is a ground floor bedroom with ensuite shower room/WC, a rear access door and access into the main living room with feature fireplace with gas fire. The large living room has three front facing windows and glazed French doors at the rear leading through to a conservatory with French doors leading out to a paved seating area as well as providing access to a rear study / bedroom. The kitchen is accessed from the living room with oak shaker style units, marble worktops, butlers sink, integrated dishwasher, ceramic hob incorporating an extractor fan, and a double electric oven.
A connecting door leads from the kitchen to a side utility room with cream units with laminate worktop, stainless steel sink, space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer and access door out to the garden.
Stairs leading from the living room provide access to a master bedroom suite with small landing leading into the bedroom benefiting from built in wardrobes and stunning views looking over the Brede valley and on the opposite side of the landing a bathroom with panel bath, with shower above, pedestal washbasin and enclosed cistern WC.
A second staircase leads from the entrance hall up to a further two double bedrooms and a family bathroom with panel bath, with shower above, wash basin with vanity unit below and close coupled WC.
Externally the property benefits from a large level lawn garden, with a side vegetable garden with green house and on the opposite side of the house further flower beds, a rear paved seating area and at the end of the lawn a garden spinney with path leading through to a large store shed and attached garage.
