House For Sale £675,000
This attractive semi detached period property originally formed part of the Possingworth Estate and has been sympathetically extended and maintained by the current owners for some thirty years. Set on elevated grounds the property enjoys spectacular views from almost all the rooms across the High Weald and up to the Ashdown Forest. Retaining character and charm the property retains decorative brickwork and tile hanging below a tiled roof with the original diamond cut windows with secondary double glazing and oil fired central heating throughout.
At the heart of the cottage is a fabulous living space with wide glazing taking in the views that connects to the kitchen and sitting room which has a wood burning stove. There are three double bedrooms set out over the first and second floors all enjoying a wonderful outlook as well as a separate family bathroom. Extending to approximately 0.3 of an acre, outside is a true gardeners' delight having been established over the years to provide a variety of secluded seating areas and many established flower beds that boast an array of plants, shrubs and specimen trees. The gardens fall away to a kitchen garden and composting area with a wildlife pond and wild flower garden. The whole offering privacy and seclusion.
Note: The property has a shared private drainage system with the adjoining property.
