A substantially extended and superbly presented semi detached period cottage with newly constructed detached garage/annexe set within glorious level westerly gardens at the edge of the South Downs National Park.

The remarkably generous accommodation has been attractively improved in recent years to provide a charming home on the edge of this delightful downland village. The recent addition of the one bedroom annexe and large garage/studio provides unusual versatile accommodation creating the potential for income generation or to accommodate a dependent relative. Only an inspection will convey the high merit and appeal of this delightful home.

The old world village of Wilmington sits within the scenic Cuckmere valley in the South Downs National Park to which there is immediate and easy access close by. The lovely village of Alfriston is also nearby providing good local shopping facilities. Trains to London Victoria are available from the nearby Berwick station. The principal coastal town of Eastbourne is about 9 miles distant and provides a wide range of shopping facilities, theatres and sporting facilities including 3 principal golf courses and one of the largest sailing marinas on the south coast. In addition to the Wilmington and Alfriston village schools there are private and state schools at Eastbourne which include St Bede's, St Andrews and Eastbourne college. There is world class opera at nearby Glyndebourne and there are channel ferries operating from Newhaven.
