Description

This detached Grade II listed cottage, set within approximately 1.9 acres of land, presents a distinctive opportunity for renovation and investment. Nestled in a tranquil rural area on the outskirts of Wartling village, the property is enveloped by natural beauty and offers stunning views across the Pevensey marshes. The cottage features three double bedrooms, each showcasing original period elements and abundant natural light. These spaces provide a blank canvas for modernisation while preserving their historic charm. The living and dining areas are characterized by exposed beams and inviting fireplaces, exuding warmth and character—perfect for those looking to restore these rooms to their former glory or reimagine them with contemporary finishes. The traditional farmhouse kitchen retains its vintage appeal with a layout that invites creative redesigns. Its direct access to the garden allows for easy outdoor connectivity, enhancing the potential for an open-plan living experience that combines old-world charm with modern convenience. Additionally, the spacious bathroom offers ample room for reconfiguration, providing yet another aspect of the home where personal touches can be added. Outside, the expansive grounds are largely laid to lawn and feature established trees and shrubbery—a serene backdrop that could be transformed into a picturesque landscape or working garden space. The plot includes several useful outbuildings, which present opportunities for storage or potential conversion into functional spaces (subject to necessary consents). Conveniently located near Pevensey Bay, Polegate, and Bexhill train stations, this property offers accessibility while maintaining its peaceful seclusion. With nearby amenities in Hailsham just a short drive away and reputable schools within reach, it provides both lifestyle appeal and investment potential in a sought-after rural setting. The option to acquire an additional 7 acres across the road expands possibilities further for those looking at long-term investment or development endeavors of their own design. This property’s unique character combined with its renovation potential makes it an appealing prospect for cash buyers ready to embark on a transformative project in a beautiful countryside location.
