Rush Witt & Wilson are proud to present to the market this rare opportunity to purchase this beautiful Sussex tile hung cottage. The property features over 265ft+ of garden and outside space, which enjoys views to the rear overlooking adjoining farmland. The cottage was built in 1866 by Lady Joanna Webster and used as the gardener's cottage for the Ashburnham Estate until the 1950s. Constructed with bricks from the Estate. The row of 4 cottages are called St John's Cottages after St John the Baptist Church at Netherfield.

The property has an abundance of potential for further extension and is located in a fantastic position on the semi-rural outskirts of Battle. Battle benefits from a mainline railway station serving London Charing Cross, excellent local schooling, amenities and doctors surgery.

Internally the property retains many of its original features, original stripped wooden doors in many rooms, original thumb latches, brick built fireplace and beautiful solid wooden windows. It has been extended to the side and rear and offers versatile layout options.

The property is being sold chain free and a viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the potential this property has to offer.

The front garden further wraps around to the side, providing side access to a decked terrace area with large timber shed and outhouses.

The rear garden features a private patio which is laid to slabs, with brick built raised borders and steps leading to the lawn. The lawned areas are enclosed by fencing and hedgerow. The gardens measure over 200 foot with the rear overlooking the adjoining fields. Such an unusual feature is rarely found. Both parts measure over 200ft.
