A charming, Period cottage with views to the South Downs, located just outside Rotherfield, yet within easy access of footpaths, enjoying stunning south facing gardens, two bedrooms, first floor bathroom, sitting room with wood burner and a fitted kitchen, plus an external studio/store room. EPC rating E.

The property forms a charming, characterful cottage, tucked away and accessed via a footpath (also providing access to the other cottages) with a very pretty sandstone facade, and more typical rendered rear elevation with a tiled roof, whilst internally, there are exposed beams and brick chimneys.

One enters via a stable door to the kitchen, comprising a range of pale dove grey cupboards and drawers, with wooden worktops above, slate tiled floor with under floor heating, exposed beams, butler sink with a window to front, space for an under-counter fridge, space for washing machine, integrated four ring electric hob, plus oven below and extractor, plus storage recess beneath the stairs.

An opening leads past the stair case to the sitting room, with a further stable door to rear, brick chimney with a wood burner, window to rear, pine floor boards and exposed timbers.

The first floor comprises a main bedroom to the rear, with beautiful views as far as the South Downs, and vaulted ceiling. A door leads into the 'Jack and Jill' bathroom, comprising a bath with shower over, WC and sink unit and part tiled walls.

The second bedroom is accessed from both the landing and the bathroom, and has a window to front, built-in storage cupboards, hanging rail and a partly vaulted ceiling.

The outside space is superb. The gardens are long, south facing and offer views to the South Downs, with a paved patio area by the house and an infrequently used right of way across from side to side.

A path wends its way down the garden, with stunning plants, shrubs and trees on either side, an area of lawn, small pond, plus a fenced vegetable garden area, with a further patio, small pergola and a shed.

The front area is a common right of passage, but on the opposite side is a row of out-houses, with one area belonging to the cottage, offering a vaulted studio/office/store room, with power supply, water and space for freezer.
