Spring Cottage is a charming detached and spacious Grade II listed period house retaining a wealth of character and period detail. Believed to have been originally 2 cottages the very generously proportioned accommodation has the benefit of good ceiling heights for a house of its age and is enhanced by a wealth of oak beams with an inglenook fireplace in the large sitting room. The accommodation was substantially improved in relatively recent years and now offers scope for further improvement and potential for an exceptionally fine family home.
Spring Cottage is enviably located in one of the prettiest of the downland villages within the scenic Cuckmere Valley. The village has a picturesque and ancient parish church and a popular local pub/restaurant. Litlington is surrounded by the scenic downland countryside of the South Downs National Park which provides wonderful recreational opportunity. The larger downland village of Alfriston is nearby offering local shopping facilities and the coastal town of Eastbourne is only about 8 miles distant. There are rail services to Victoria and to Gatwick from Eastbourne, Polegate and Berwick Station. Eastbourne provides a wide range of amenities and sporting facilities include 3 principal golf courses and one of the finest Victorian seafronts on the south coast. There is world class opera at nearby Glyndebourne and Channel ferries are from Newhaven.
