This charming three-bedroom mews house, originally constructed in 1922 as a cottage for World War One soldiers, offers a unique opportunity for renovation and investment in a desirable community. Nestled amidst approximately two acres of communal woodland, the property benefits from a tranquil rural setting that is both peaceful and visually appealing.
The ground floor features an inviting Neptune kitchen diner equipped with an Everhot range, granite worktops, and an oak larder—a cozy space ready for culinary creativity. Adjacent to the kitchen is a utility room with convenient downstairs WC and a living room characterized by its log-burning stove and double doors that open directly onto the communal green space, enhancing the sense of community.
Upstairs, the layout includes a main bedroom complete with an en-suite bathroom and two additional double bedrooms serviced by a family shower room. Notably, there is also a spacious attic offering excellent potential for conversion into an extra bedroom or office space, subject to planning permissions.
Outside, the thoughtfully landscaped private rear garden serves as a low-maintenance retreat and includes a summerhouse equipped with electricity. A timber outbuilding provides additional utility and could serve as a studio or workspace. The property also owns an extra parcel of land along with shared access to the expansive communal woodland.
Located just one mile from East Hoathly village center, this home offers convenient access to local amenities including shops, public houses, churches, recreational facilities, and social clubs. With scenic country walks nearby—like the Wealden Way leading to picturesque spots such as Seven Sisters and Cuckmere Haven—residents can easily embrace outdoor activities.
The proximity to Glyndebourne Opera House (15-minute drive) and Lewes adds cultural richness to the area. Uckfield’s comprehensive shopping options, leisure facilities, and railway services to London enhance its appeal for families and commuters alike.
Surrounded by areas of stunning natural beauty—including Ashdown Forest—and with easy access to Brighton and Eastbourne’s coastal attractions as well as major road networks like the A/M23, this property stands out not only for its current charm but also for its significant potential for future enhancement or expansion.
