Property description
We are delighted to introduce to the market this immaculately presented and deceptively spacious terraced house. Built in 1840, this character cottage benefits from a fantastic standalone garden studio and office, further office/ summerhouse, and nestles in the Wealden countryside.INTERIOR
Living Room
This inviting living area offers a wonderful combination of traditional and contemporary, boasting a large feature brick fireplace with wood burning stove and under lighting, integrated beam and black limestone hearth. The fireplace contrasts nicely with the neutral decor, dimmable spotlights and wall lighting. This delightfully cosy space is perfect for snuggling up in front of the fire on an autumn evening.
Kitchen/Diner
The kitchen is fitted with wooden cabinets, dark contrasting worktop, wood effect flooring and white brick-tile splash back. An alcove gives space for a double oven, recycling and bin storage, and recipe bookshelves, alongside a separate space for a tall fridge freezer.
A worktop with sink separates the kitchen and dining area, with beautiful views through to the garden. It demonstrates an excellent use of space and makes the kitchen/dining area the perfect social space for entertaining guests all year round.
The dining area itself contains cosy built-in bench seating with storage underneath. It is flooded with natural light provided by the triple-glazed sky lights above and the double-glazed, wide double doors that lead to the terrace outside.
From the dining area are two doors, one leading to the modern downstairs WC, with a built-in wash basin and centrally heated towel rail. The other door leads to a large storage cupboard containing the boiler.
Master Bedroom
The master bedroom at the front of the cottage has been decorated in neutral and calming tones that complement the property's peaceful surroundings. The room is well proportioned and benefits from built-in storage, views to the woods across the lane through an original horizontal sash window, dimmable spotlights, wall lights and individual reading lamps.
Second Bedroom
Another charming double room with original sash window and feature fireplace with painted brick wall, which emphasise the original period details of the property. This room also benefits from a built-in wardrobe/cupboard, wall shelving and beautiful views over the gardens to the countryside beyond.
Bathroom
The beautiful bathroom is yet another example of how space and light have been cleverly enhanced in this property, with a skylight positioned above the bath and overhead shower, drawing light into the room. The painted brick wall, solid wood floor and panelled vanity unit with integrated sink, centrally heated towel rail, lit mirror and cupboards combine country cottage charm with a luxurious, modern feel.
EXTERIOR
Gardens
The unexpectedly large, south-facing garden is an extension of the property's tasteful and well thought out interior. A combination of lawned and terraced areas with an abundance of trees, mature shrubs and flowering plants create a variety of aspects, views and corners to explore and enjoy. From the kitchen diner, double doors open onto a charming and peaceful terrace with plenty of space for alfresco dining. Archways, paths and steps lead you through the various areas within the garden, including a wildflower meadow area, standalone office/studio space, office/ summerhouse and greenhouse nestled in the grounds. A small brick outbuilding, a wooden workshop and two wooden sheds give plenty of storage space for garden and workshop equipment.
Office/Studio
This fantastic space is the ideal solution for someone looking to work from home or could easily be transformed into an extra bedroom, holiday let or business opportunity. The studio has been beautifully designed and is fully insulated with air source heat pump for heating and air conditioning. It comprises of a larger studio area with an internal door leading to a further light, bright office space with double aspect views of the gardens. The entire property benefits from high speed fibre broadband.
