Description

This charming three-bedroom mews house, originally constructed in 1922 as part of a series of cottages for World War One soldiers, presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. Nestled within a tranquil rural community that includes access to approximately two acres of communal woodland, this property offers both historical significance and modern potential. The ground floor features a well-appointed kitchen diner equipped with an Everhot range, complemented by granite countertops and an oak larder. The space flows into a utility room with convenient downstairs WC, while the living room serves as a cozy retreat highlighted by a log-burning stove and double doors leading to the communal green area. Original mullioned windows and wooden flooring throughout add character and authenticity to each room. Ascending to the first floor, you'll find the main bedroom complete with en-suite bathroom, alongside two additional double bedrooms and a family shower room. A spacious attic presents an exciting possibility for conversion into an extra bedroom or creative space (subject to planning permission), adding further value to the property. The outdoor area features a thoughtfully landscaped rear garden that offers a low-maintenance retreat, complete with an electrically powered summerhouse. A separate timber outbuilding provides versatile options for use as a home office or studio, given its dual entrances and ample natural light. Additionally, the property includes its own plot of land along with shared access to beautifully maintained communal woodland. Located just one mile from East Hoathly village center, residents can enjoy close proximity to local amenities such as shops, public houses, recreational grounds, and various sports clubs. The surrounding countryside is perfect for walking enthusiasts, with paths like the Wealden Way connecting you to stunning landscapes including the Seven Sisters and Cuckmere Haven. Cultural experiences are within easy reach too; Glyndebourne Opera House is only 15 minutes away by car. For those seeking more extensive shopping options or commuting possibilities, Uckfield is nearby and offers railway services to London along with diverse educational facilities including sixth form colleges. The property is well positioned amidst areas of exceptional natural beauty—within easy reach of Ashdown Forest—and conveniently located near major transport routes towards Brighton and Eastbourne. With its blend of history, potential for expansion or modernization, and access to beautiful surroundings, this property stands out as an intriguing opportunity for buyers looking to invest in both lifestyle and future value.
