DESCRIPTION: FOR SALE BY INFORMAL TENDER
A wonderful and seldom found opportunity to acquire a pair of semi-detached cottages which enjoy a delightful secluded setting with access on to the Ashdown Forest. Set in approximately one acre of meandering gardens and grounds with a former barn and large pond the property offers huge potential to be retained as a pair of cottages or made into one dwelling. It is also considered that the former outbuilding could be re-instated into a number of potential uses (subject to the necessary consents.)
In brief the cottages comprise the following accommodation;
THE MARLIPTS
Approached via an Entrance Lobby with Sitting Room having inglenook fireplace and stairs to first floor. Door to Shower Room with WC and wash basin, storage under.
Kitchen/Dining Room with cupboard and drawer units, range of work surfaces, built-in oven and hob. Door to Rear Lobby with shelved cupboard.
On the First Floor is the Landing, 2 Bedrooms and a Bathroom with bath, wash basin and WC.
MARLPITS COTTAGE
Front door to Sitting Room with stairs to the first floor (storage cupboard under) and log burner.
The Kitchen has been part fitted with log burner and shelved store cupboard.
Rear Lobby with door to the outside and WC.
To the First Floor is the Landing and a Bedroom with beamed ceiling. There is also a Bathroom in two sections with bath, wash hand basin, WC, hot and cold water tanks.
OUTSIDE: The grounds surround the house with areas of lawn, trees, shrubs and hedges. Timber Summerhouse. Driveway with scope to create parking and the remains of a former timber and stone barn. Steps lead to a wooded area and large pond with direct access on to the Ashdown Forest. It is understood that the total area extends to about 0.8 of an acre but this has not been verified.
INFORMAL TENDER: The best and final bids for the unencumbered freehold interest of the property are to reach our office no later than midday on Tuesday 13th August 2024. All offers to be submitted in a sealed envelope and marked 'Private and Confidential - Tender for 'The Marlpits and Marlpits Cottage'.
