Description

This charming detached cottage features two bedrooms and has undergone recent modernization, yet there remains a significant opportunity for further development. The property comes with full planning permission to extend to a four-bedroom home, offering great potential for investors or those seeking additional space. Set on approximately 1.56 acres adjacent to the scenic Ashdown Forest, the location is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts, horse owners, and dog lovers, providing direct access to bridleways and extensive countryside walks right from your garden gate. The existing structure includes a refurbished brick garage that could be transformed into additional living space such as an annexe or home office, subject to necessary permissions. The current layout boasts a functional kitchen with essential appliances, two reception rooms each with fireplaces, and spacious bedrooms upstairs. A family bathroom completes the first floor. The property is conveniently located near the amenities of Crowborough and offers easy access to major transport links including mainline rail services to London. With recent works completed such as new sash double glazing and an upgraded sewage treatment plant, this cottage is not only ready for immediate enjoyment but also poised for further enhancements that can significantly increase its value in this desirable region.
