A spacious 3-bedroom detached chalet bungalow offering excellent scope for re-modelling and enlargement, situated on a good-sized south facing plot in a quiet and elevated semi-rural position on the outskirts of the village with views over surrounding countryside.
Situation: The property is situated in a private and elevated position on a quiet lane on the rural outskirts of Wadhurst. The village High Street is just over a mile distant and offers an excellent range of shops and services for everyday needs including a Jempson’s Local store and post office, café, butcher, baker, bookshop, pharmacy, florist, off licence, public houses, as well as a doctor’s surgery, dentist, primary school and the well-regarded Uplands Community College and Sports Centre. There is also a Co-op local convenience store within easy reach at Sparrows Green.
For the commuter, Wadhurst mainline station is approximately 1½ miles distant and provides a regular service to London Bridge/Charing Cross/Cannon Street in just over an hour. There is a regular bus service and the A21 is also within easy reach providing a direct link to the M25 (junction 5) and the coast. Gatwick Airport is about 30 miles to the west, the Eurotunnel terminal at Folkestone is about 45 miles to the east and central London is about 50 miles away. The regional centre of Tunbridge Wells is just 6 miles distant and provides a comprehensive range of amenities including The Pantiles, the Royal Victoria Shopping centre, cinema complex and theatres.
The beautiful surrounding countryside is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, provides many public footpaths and includes Bewl Water Reservoir, reputedly the largest area of inland water in the South East, where a wide range of water sports can be enjoyed.
