Property description

What a great opportunity to acquire a Grade II Listed two-bedroom, flint cottage dating back to circa 1756. Alfriston, set in the South Downs National Park, is one of the most desirable villages in the South East.

On entering the cottage, you will be struck by the period features, including exposed beams. The lounge is welcoming and homely with a wood stove to cosy up in front of. There is useful built-in shelving within the recess and lead lattice windows to the front, which really create the character feel to the property. There are storage cupboards under the stairs to keep your housework appliances hidden away and the dining room has a handy deep storage cupboard, ideal to keep your best dinnerware safe. This room also offers a study recess area.

To keep in with the period of the property, there is cupboard space in the bathroom, which currently houses a washing machine and tumble dryer. The kitchen has been renovated entirely in the past few years. Both the bedrooms offer a couple of surprises. Bedroom One has exposed floorboards and lovely views to Windover Hill and the South Downs and Bedroom Two offers walk-in eaves storage and access to extensive loft space.

The delightful gardens offer a good degree of privacy, with beautifully kept lawn and planting areas. Enjoy a spot of alfresco dining on the patio or relax in the summerhouse with a good book and a pot of tea.

What the Owner says:

We were looking to move out of London but still wanted good access to the Capital. Alfriston offers a real break from the hustle and bustle of the city but there is still good access from the mainline train stations at nearby Berwick or Polegate. The cottage is a stone’s throw from both the best independent bookshop in the country and one of its most famous teashops. We’re so lucky to be in a secluded road which peters out to become a bridle path. Passing traffic is almost non-existent.

The coast is not too far away and Cuckmere Haven, which is a cyclists paradise. Take a stroll along the Cuckmere river or up and over the South Downs. We shall certainly miss this quiet and secluded spot.
