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.

Upstairs you will find two double bedrooms to the front and rear both with character exposed wood doors.

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.
