Description

This semi-detached cottage, dating back to approximately 1850, is being offered for sale for the first time in over fifty years. Located in a desirable hamlet on the outskirts of Wadhurst, it presents an excellent opportunity for renovation and extension, subject to obtaining the necessary permissions. The property features a south-facing rear garden, alongside a front garden, off-road parking, a garage, and an outbuilding, all of which enhance its potential for investment. Inside, the cottage retains several charming character features such as drop latch internal doors and multi-pane casement windows. The current layout includes a sitting room with an open fireplace and bow window, a double-aspect dining room, and a kitchen fitted with essential appliances that could benefit from modernisation. The ground floor also has a fully tiled bathroom while the upstairs accommodates three bedrooms. The well-sized gardens offer scope for landscaping and further development. Notably, the absence of central heating presents an opportunity to upgrade utilities and improve energy efficiency. With electric radiators currently in place along with an oil-fired Rayburn for hot water, prospective buyers may wish to explore modern heating systems. Cousley Wood is well-situated within reach of local amenities in Wadhurst and close to stunning countryside walks in the High Weald National Landscape. This property not only offers a blank canvas but also the charm of rural living with nearby access to key transport links.
