Guide Price £450,000 - £475,000. A charming semi detached cottage believed to have been built over three hundred years ago set in a delightful and popular residential backwater. This delightful two bedroom period home is set in the very heart of the lively village of Forest Row on the northern fringe of Ashdown Forest. The cottage is within walking distance of the main local amenities including cafes, restaurants, specialist stores and two mini supermarkets.

On the first floor there is a master bedroom with a built in wardrobe and a large mezzanine floor which is currently used as a study. There is also a second bedroom and a modern bathroom. Externally, there is a small front garden and off street/driveway parking for one car. To the rear there is an enclosed cottage garden which is predominantly laid to lawn with a patio area, wood store and garden shed. The property is heated via gas central heating.
