Description

This detached house, located in a desirable rural area just over three miles from the village and mainline train station, presents an excellent opportunity for those looking to invest in a renovation project. The property features traditional Sussex brick elevations with tile hanging on the upper section. Inside, you’ll find a welcoming entrance hall with a WC, a dual-aspect sitting room complete with an open fireplace, and an expansive open-plan living and kitchen area which includes an oil boiler and gas bottles for the hob. Notably, the living room is equipped with a large wood burner that could potentially be integrated into the hot water system. The first floor offers a landing with an airing cupboard and access to a fully boarded attic space. The main bedroom benefits from built-in wardrobes and a concealed shower unit, alongside access to another spacious loft area. There are two additional bedrooms (one double and one single) as well as a bathroom. While this home holds significant potential for transformation, it requires considerable repair work throughout and is being sold as seen. The expansive garden was once adorned with a pond and patio areas but has now become overgrown; however, it still holds promise for revitalization into an attractive outdoor space. Accompanying the property is a brick-built double garage and several timber sheds. Set along the picturesque Fontridge Lane on the outskirts of Etchingham village, this location provides scenic views of the surrounding countryside once landscaping efforts are undertaken. Nearby amenities include village shops, a primary school, social club, and direct train service to London from Etchingham's station. Robertsbridge is merely 4.2 miles away for additional local services, while Tunbridge Wells and Hastings are accessible within approximately 15 miles via the A21.
