Unlisted Period Cottage, recently renovated to a very high standard - Extended to achieve spacious living accommodation to suit the modern way of living.. Set in a quiet country lane adjacent to Wilderness Woods. 4/5 Bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 3 reception rooms, Large kitchen/dining/living space. Detached home office. South facing private Garden. Garage and parking for several vehicles.
The original cottage is around 300 years old and the extensions have been recently completed. The refurbishment works carried out on the property are extensive and have been completed to a level that will last many years:
The original front door is seldom used now as there is an access from the driveway into a Cloakroom/Boot room (very practical for country living) with a lime stone floor. It has been fitted with shoe storage units, coats hanging space and cupboards. Inside is space and plumbing for a washing machine if desired but there is a separate utility room. Oak doors are throughout and engineered oak flooring extends through the reception rooms with underfloor heating. The main sitting room has a high ceiling with a lantern light window. There are aluminium double doors out to the garden and deep bespoke built-in cabinets with decorative peacock handles. The middle room is the original part of the cottage and has exposed, light oak, ceiling timbers with an average height of 1.8/1.9m. The original front door is still used at times and there is a pretty brick inglenook fireplace with inset woodburner, oak bressumer and side beams. Stairs lead up to the first floor and there is storage beneath. From this room access is also to the Study/Bedroom 5 which has a double aspect and an en-suite w.c. The kitchen is the hub of the house, with three areas, one for comfortable sitting, a dining room and the kitchen itself which has solid wood bespoke units with quartz work surfaces. There is a central island with a breakfast bar on one side with storage below and the induction hob on the side with an integral extractor. Integrated appliances include a Bosch electric oven, dishwasher, re-cyling bins, pull out larders and carousels and space for a fridge/freezer with ice dispenser. The double Butler sink has a window above overlooking the garden and there are two further windows and double doors out to the patio. In addition to the extensive storage in the kitchen is purpose built solid wood and there is a bespoke range of larder cupboards. Off the kitchen is a door through to the utility room with space for washing machine, tumble dryer, Grant boiler and a double airing cupboard housing the hot water cylinder.
On the first floor: The only room on this floor with restricted head height is the main bedroom with a 2m ceiling height. The room has a built-in cupboard, three windows, over looking woodland and a small hallway to the en-suite shower room. Fitted to a high standard with separate shower, w.c and wash basin set into units providing storage and additional vanity station. Above is a built-in, large cupboard with glass mirrors. (Loft storage access). There are two further double bedrooms, one with a range of built-in cupboards. A single bedroom, which is a good size, doubles as a study and single room. Second access to loft space and additional eaves storage which is insulated, boarded and with a light. The family bathroom is fully fitted with a white modern suite with w.c with concealed cistern, wash basin with storage below and oak wall shelving to one side and a bath with shower above.
Outside: The garden has been professionally landscaped to provide an extensive sandstone patio to two sides of the house with space for a hot tub (available upon separate negotiation) and external lighting. This area is enclosed with picket fencing with a gate to the front of the house and one to the main garden. The whole is enclosed on one side with mixed evergreen hedging and to the other with post and rail fencing, however, it has been made dog proof with additional fencing. The lawn is level with meandering, well stocked flower borders with a host of Old English Roses and country garden flowers. A summerhouse and greenhouse are in this area and some fruit trees hide a pathway through to a hidden area, where there is a small pond and a decked area on which is a chicken house, run and good size solid shed with power. In addition is a home office has been substantially built of timber is insulated and has wifi (approximate speed 60 mgb) and a range of built-in cupboards. To the right of the cottage is the pea shingle driveway providing parking for several cars, leading to a single detached garage with lights and up and over door. One thoughtful and attractive, feature is a wall built from the stones taken from the cottage during renovation supporting a flower bed and where the oil tank is placed.
Services and information: Tax Band G. New oil fired boiler and tank, rewired with new consumer unit. Insulation in roof and outer wall. Wet underfloor heating to three reception rooms and entrance hall. Double glazed windows and doors (under guarantee). New engineered oak flooring. External works to ensure weather proof. Mains drainage. Extension signed off November 2022.

Location: The cottage is in a lane adjacent to a protected woodland that leads to Wilderness Wood, a beautiful ancient woodland open to the public to walk in. Many activities for children are held here and annual events. Set up originally for the sale of Christmas trees with a popular café, the woodland has become an integral part of village life in Hadlow Down. There is a village primary school and local pub. Access into the woodland from the cottage is literally just across the lane. Amenities including shops, supermarkets, doctors, schooling etc., in Heathfield (4.6 miles) and Uckfield (6.8 miles) also with a main line station to Victoria. Buxted Station (2.6 miles) is also on the same line and there is a local village shop.
Directions: On reaching Wilderness Wood, take the lane that runs down the side of it, Wilderness Lane, and the property will be found on the right hand side.
