The Cottage is a Grade II listed period property dating back to the mid 17th Century with later additions which is believed to have once been a brickmakers cottage forming part of a larger estate. Both the house and gardens are presented in immaculate condition with a recently fitted bespoke kitchen. The entrance hall is a welcoming space with vaulted ceilings and measuring almost 24' in length. The bespoke kitchen is a wonderful double aspect room with doors leading out to the garden and is a perfect entertaining space. The living room enjoys an inglenook fireplace with a working log burner and also has a door giving access to the rear garden. To the first floor are two double bedrooms plus a third which is currently utilised as a study and the bedrooms are access via two staircases from the entrance hall which would make the property appealing to those who regularly host guests, or for those looking for a property with the potential for multi-generational occupancy. Outside the property enjoys a well presented front garden with a white picket fence, ample off road parking, a bin and log store and a large outbuilding, which could be suitable for a number of different uses. The immaculate rear garden enjoys a very good degree of privacy with an area of patio, summerhouse and the whole property is set on a quiet lane location on the outskirts of the popular village of Sedlescombe, which enjoys a post office, shop, public house, hotel, doctors surgery and primary school. A more comprehensive range of amenities can be found at nearby Battle with its attractive high street of independent shops, pubs, restaurants, supermarkets as well as a mainline station which offers regular services to London Charing Cross. The area is well served for schools, both private and comprehensive at primary and secondary levels.
From the village green in Sedlescombe proceed in a southerly direction passing the playing fields and bearing left into Chapel Hill. Follow the lane round into Cottage Lane and proceed for a short distance turning right into New England Lane. Continue along where the property will be found on the left hand side.What3Words:///objective.approach.icons
