Description

This three-bedroom detached residence, known as Ivy Cottage, is situated in a beautiful semi-rural setting offering expansive southern views over the Pevensey Levels towards the coastline. Historically a shop that sold salt from the local area, this property carries a unique story. The house spans approximately 1,207 sq ft across two levels and although it has been extended over time, it requires modernisation to fully realise its potential. The ground floor features an inviting entrance hall, spacious sitting room, dining/family area, and a large south-facing conservatory that bathes the interior in natural light. Attractive parquet flooring enhances much of this level. The kitchen is equipped with modern fitted units and essential appliances, while upstairs are three bedrooms and a shower room that benefit from newly installed flooring. The south-facing garden includes a good-sized lawn and paved seating area that takes advantage of the stunning rural views. With off-street parking available alongside a garage, there are ample opportunities for future development or enhancements. The location provides easy access to local amenities while being close to both nature reserves and historic sites, making it ideal for both personal use or as an investment project.
