Description

This detached house presents a substantial renovation opportunity in a desirable rural setting, located just over three miles from the village and mainline station. Spanning a third of an acre, the property features traditional Sussex-style brick elevations with tile hanging. Inside, you will find a spacious entrance hallway with a WC, a double-aspect sitting room featuring an open fireplace, and an extensive open-plan living and kitchen area. The living room is equipped with a large wood burner that has potential for integration with the hot water system. Additionally, there is an oil boiler present in the kitchen paired with gas bottles for the hob. The first floor offers a landing with an airing cupboard and access to a boarded attic. The main bedroom includes built-in storage and a shower unit tucked away for privacy, along with access to another large loft space. There are also two more bedrooms—one double and one single—accompanied by a bathroom. Notably, this property requires considerable repair work throughout and is sold as seen. The garden has been neglected but previously featured landscaped areas including patios and a pond; once revitalized, it could enhance views of the surrounding countryside. A brick-built double garage complements several timber sheds on-site. Situated on Fontridge Lane near Etchingham village, you'll enjoy tranquil surroundings while being conveniently close to local amenities including shops, schools, and transport links to London. This home is ideal for those looking to invest in its potential and create a bespoke living space tailored to modern standards.
