An exceptionally SPACIOUS COUNTRY COTTAGE being on the end of a small terrace of only four former farmworkers cottages. The properties were built in the early part of the twentieth century to an attractive Sussex style design of brick under a tiled roof with part tile hung elevations. The house has been substantially enlarged in the last four years by the current Vendors with the addition of a two storey extension to the north west elevation creating a good sized dwelling with flexible accommodation. The first floor now has five bedrooms with built in wardrobes, apart from bedroom 5, and a good sized bathroom. On the ground floor there are two large reception rooms , a dining room, kitchen/breakfast room and a shower room off the hall. The rear Living Room has a log burner and a recently added oak framed bay window overlooking the rear garden. The property benefits from double glazed windows, oil fired central heating with an external boiler, and cesspit drainage. Outside as you approach the house there is a hard standing area providing parking for two/three cars and a Detached Garage. To the front is a long delightful cottage style garden well laid out with lawn and borders of flowering plants. There are seating areas and a Timber Garden Chalet. To the rear of the property is a south west facing garden laid to lawn with a number of productive fruit trees, broad Terrace and steps to the lawn. The mature gardens in all extend to about one third of an acre are bordered by established hedging and post rail fencing providing a good deal of seclusion.EPC Rating DCouncil Tax Band E
