Description

Acorn Cottage is a charming period property that presents a unique chance for renovation enthusiasts. With the potential to significantly expand the living space, whether by extending on the ground floor or adding to the upper levels (subject to planning permissions), this cottage invites creative updates throughout. The exterior showcases traditional slate-tiled elevations, while internally, it features two or three bedrooms that could be reimagined for modern living. Though showing signs of age, the existing décor begs for revitalization and modernization, offering an opportunity for full redevelopment if desired. Upon entering, you'll find a dining room complete with tiled flooring and painted brick walls alongside a brick fireplace—ideal for cozy meals. The adjacent sitting room boasts wooden flooring and a woodburning stove within an inviting fireplace, complemented by built-in cupboard storage. The kitchen offers modest cabinetry and ample space for appliances, supplemented by a cloakroom with WC and washbasin plus a shower room equipped with a spacious shower. The second floor houses two or possibly three bedrooms; one bedroom serves as a walk-through to the principal, suitable as either a study or dressing area. Each bedroom has built-in storage options. The property sits in tranquil surroundings with beautiful views over neighboring fields and woodlands. Located just moments from Ringmer village amenities and within five miles of historical Lewes—with its vibrant High Street and excellent transport links—this property combines rural charm with practical accessibility. A gravel parking area accommodates several vehicles at the side of the house, while the rear garden includes terraced seating areas ideal for outdoor dining, along with a gazebo and open lawn bordered by fencing that offers scenic vistas. Additional outbuildings such as garden storage sheds, an office space, and a detached cabin currently functioning as a gym further enhance this property’s appeal. The garden itself offers great potential for landscaping enhancement amidst its serene setting adjacent to fields and woodland.
