Description

This three-bedroom semi-detached house presents a valuable opportunity for renovation in a picturesque rural setting, offering expansive views over the Pevensey Levels and towards the coast. With approximately 703 sq ft of living space spread across three floors, this property is primed for updates that can enhance both its aesthetic appeal and functionality. The ground floor features an entrance hall leading into a sitting room with a fireplace, providing a cozy focal point. The kitchen, while equipped with a small run of base units and plumbing for freestanding appliances, offers ample potential for modernization and expansion to create a contemporary cooking space. A bathroom completes this level. Ascending to the first floor, you’ll find two well-sized bedrooms, with the larger front bedroom providing access to the third bedroom tucked away on the second floor. This unique layout allows for privacy and personal space while also suggesting potential for reconfiguration should you desire more unified living areas. Outside, the south-facing garden is an attractive feature of the property. It includes a good-sized lawn area that wraps around the front and side of the house, ensuring you can enjoy those open views across the countryside. The garden also benefits from hedging along the road frontage and timber fencing separating it from neighboring properties. A mature oak tree adds character to this outdoor space. Additional storage options are provided by a brick-built outhouse and a timber log shed. Located off Butler’s Lane with convenient parking available, this home is just under two miles from Herstmonceux village center, which offers essential amenities including a mini supermarket, post office, pub, coffee shop, medical center, and primary school. The nearby larger town of Hailsham provides further shopping opportunities and services about four miles away. Surrounded by nature reserves such as Pevensey Levels and High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this property combines rural charm with accessibility. Coastal towns like Bexhill and Eastbourne are within easy reach at approximately nine and twelve miles respectively. Commuters will appreciate proximity to mainline train services available from Battle or Polegate stations. With its renovation potential in mind as well as its appealing location near local attractions like Herstmonceux Castle and The Observatory Science Centre, this property represents an ideal investment opportunity for buyers looking to create their dream home in a serene setting.
