A delightful cottage with plenty of period charm, set in a peaceful location, tucked away on a no-through country lane. The accommodation is arranged over two floors and benefits from secondary double glazing throughout.
The cottage has a timber fenced boundary with gated access to the rear garden and back door. A gravelled driveway leading to a neighbouring property provides access to the front door and a further gate to the garden.
The front door opens into a useful lobby area with an internal door leading into the bright, triple aspect sitting/dining room with space for a woodburning stove in a recessed area and door through to the kitchen.
There is a separate cosy living room, with a fireplace housing a woodburning stove, built in cupboards with shelving and large window to the front aspect.
The well-equipped, modern kitchen includes an array of wall and base units, 11⁄2 bowl ceramic sink with drainer and mixer tap over. There are worktops, an integrated fridge, freezer and cooker, ceramic hob with extractor hood atop, quarry floor tiles, inset lighting and space for a dishwasher. A staircase rises from the kitchen to the first-floor landing with a useful under stairs storage cupboard. A window and glazed panelled door lead through to the back garden and cloakroom with WC, wash basin and window to rear.
The first-floor landing leads to three double bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a large airing cupboard with plumbing for a washing machine. Bedrooms one and two both include windows overlooking the front. Both bedrooms one and three have decorative fireplaces, and bedroom three has a built-in wardrobe, window to the rear and a loft hatch with sturdy pull down ladder to an extensive boarded and clad room with Velux skylight, considered to offer scope for conversion (STPP).

The pretty and popular village of Frant, under one mile away, enjoys a central green with playground and village hall, village store with post office facilities, hairdressers, two pubs, and a “good” primary school (Ofsted 2022).

There is also a good bus service running through the village (with bus stop just a little way up the road from this property) connecting Heathfield and Tunbridge Wells. Wadhurst, just four miles away, offers a wider selection of more local facilities and a mainline railway station with more frequent services. The Spa town of Royal Tunbridge Wells is also within four miles, offering fabulous shopping and the beautiful regency style paved Pantiles area, theatres and various other leisure facilities.
