Charming Cottage... - If you’re looking for a character cottage in the heart of one of Sussex’s most quintessential villages then look no further than the utterly charming Ashgrove Cottages, sitting just off Horsted Keynes’ picture-postcard village green. The picket fencing, pretty front courtyard with its roses & bluebells and Flemish bond brickwork all adds to the kerb appeal and lures you towards the home.

Since purchasing the current owners have undertaken a transformative renovation from top to bottom, breathing new life into this quaint Victorian cottage, which originally dates from 1861.

The accommodation is spread over three floors and, upon entry you are welcomed by a porch that provides a buffer between the sitting room and the outside, whilst also providing a handy spot to hang coats.

Charm & Cosiness... - The inviting sitting room is a cosy, charming space. The log burner provides the perfect focal point on a chilly winter’s evening and the bespoke cabinetry in the alcoves is both aesthetically pleasing and practical.

Country Kitchen... - The accommodation flows through to the country kitchen. The shaker-style is timeless and the there is plenty of storage and space for necessary appliances. The wooden worktops are sympathetic to the style of the home and a foldable section has been cleverly address to create more prep space, when required.

In 2023, a conservatory was added to the rear to provide more ground floor living space. Sitting just off the kitchen, this is the ideal area for dining, particularly during the summer when the large French doors are thrown open to create that “inside-outside” feel. The washing machine & tumble dryer are cleverly hidden away in here too freeing up more space in the kitchen.

Sleep & Soak.. - Stairs rise to the first floor where you’ll find one of the two double bedrooms, which extends across the entire front of the house with beautiful exposed brickwork and an original fireplace. The original latch internal doors further add to the country-cottage.

The first floor bathroom has been refitted with modern white suite, period style patterned flooring and overhead power shower.

The second floor comprises entirely of the second double bedroom which is stunning space with vaulted ceiling and exposed timbers. There is plenty of space to build in bespoke wardrobes, if required and neighbouring homes have installed a skylight to the rear, which is also a possibility, subject to any necessary consents.

Step Outside... - Stepping outside, the transformation continues. The garden has been recently enclosed with sympathetic lattice fencing and beautiful Red Robin hedging and fast growing Honeysuckle. The bricked terrace is the perfect spot for some ‘al-fresco’ dining and subtle chicken wire fencing means the garden is fully enclosed and “doggy proof”, with an expanse of lawn and pretty planting.

A gate leads out to the shared pathway and to the brick outbuilding. There are two stores (one shared with the neighbour, one private) that provide useful storage for gardening equipment, bikes etc.

The third area has been converted into a secure garden office space, perfect for those who work from home. There is insulation, power and electric heating. There is also gated rear pedestrian access only.

Parking wise, there is unrestricted on street parking to the front.
