House For Sale £575,000
A very pretty and well presented detached 3 bedroom period cottage with a lovely outlook over adjoining countryside, situated in a tucked away and elevated rural position within a mile of the mainline station.
Situation: The property is situated in a semi-rural yet convenient location just over 2 miles from Stonegate village, with its pretty church, well regarded primary school and mainline station. Stonegate station is just 1.2 miles distant and provides a regular service to London Charing Cross/Cannon Street in just over an hour. The A21 is also within easy reach providing a direct link to the M25 (junction 5) and the coast. Gatwick Airport is about 40 miles to the west, the Eurotunnel terminal at Folkestone is about 46 miles to the east and London is about 50 miles away.
Burwash and Ticehurst villages are 2½ and 5 miles distant respectively, which both have a good selection of local shops and amenities. Wadhurst village lies about 5 miles distant and offers a wider range of shops and services for everyday needs including a Jempson’s Local store and post office, pharmacy, bookshop, florist, off licence, public houses, as well as a doctor’s surgery, dentist, and the well-regarded Uplands Community College. The regional centre of Tunbridge Wells is about 11 miles distant and provides a comprehensive range of amenities including The Pantiles, Royal Victoria Shopping centre, cinema complex and theatres.
The beautiful surrounding countryside is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and includes Bewl Water Reservoir, reputedly the largest area of inland water in the South East, where a wide range of water sports can be enjoyed.
Description: Gable Cottage is a much improved and well presented detached period cottage, which dates from the 1700s and presents most attractive external elevations of weatherboard and brick beneath a clay tiled roof. The property benefits from being unlisted and has period features throughout including exposed mellow beams, fireplaces, latch doors and exposed floorboards. Providing light, spacious and flexible accommodation over two floors of approximately 1383sq.ft/129sq.m, many of the rooms are double aspect and the cottage also benefits from backing onto fields and has a lovely rural outlook and views over surrounding countryside.
The accommodation includes on the ground floor an entrance hall with brick flooring and floor to ceiling beams giving an open aspect of the main living area. To the left is a cosy sitting room, which has a pretty brick fireplace (currently unused) with an oak bressummer, exposed beams and a door leading out to the garden. There is a further good-sized, double aspect sitting/family room, which has a lovely inglenook fireplace with an oak bressummer and fitted with a wood burner; there are exposed beams, a window seat and a door leading to the kitchen, which is fitted with a modern range of gloss white wall and base units with solid wood worksurfaces, induction hob, electric oven, and space for appliances. The kitchen is double aspect and has a door to a useful utility/shower/cloakroom and to a conservatory, which is also used as a dining room and enjoys an outlook of the garden. On the first floor there are three bedrooms and a family bathroom, which is fitted with twin sinks/vanity units and a large shower cubicle. The main bedroom is triple aspect and has built in cupboards; the second bedroom is double aspect and has a pretty fireplace, exposed floorboards and a coffin hatch - all the rooms enjoy a lovely aspect over surrounding countryside.
The property is approached through five-bar gates to a gravel driveway which provides parking at the side and rear of the property. The garden is west facing and wraps around the cottage with areas of terrace and brick retaining walls lead to the main area of garden which is laid to lawn and has views over an adjoining field. The property benefits from having access across the road to a public footpath and countryside walks.
