Description
2 Norman Gate is an exceptionally appealing and attractive attached period house (not Listed) occupying an enchanting and discreet position removed from traffic, being approached by a side lane less than 1 mile from the centre of Battle. The house forms the centre portion of this fascinating U-shaped character building and sits in a courtyard setting, offering an abundance of charm, along with a lovely garden and generous parking provision.

The elevations are of brick beneath a tiled roof. The windows are a mix of single, double and secondary glazing and there is gas-fired central heating.
The main features of the property include:
• The property is approached via a brick pathway bordered by manicured lawns, culminating in an impressive Gothic arch entrance with a tall glazed
front door leading into the reception hall/sitting room, an extremely attractive introduction to the house, with wood stripped flooring and painted brick walls.
• The snug/television room is a very comfortable and inviting room with wood stripped flooring and a fireplace (not currently in use). In one corner is the staircase to the first floor, and a hatch leads to an area of underfloor storage.
• The drawing room is another warm and inviting room with a double aspect incorporating leaded light windows over the neighbouring lawns and a second window overlooking the rear of the property. There is a deep storage cupboard.
• A second door leads out to an inner hall where a door leads through to the principal bedroom, a comfortable double bedroom with a range of mirror-fronted wardrobe cupboards and a part panelled ceiling.

tiled flooring.
• To the other side of the reception hall a wide panelled door opens to a useful inner hall with space for coats and additional storage. This area in turn leads to the kitchen/breakfast room. This is undoubtedly a feature of the house and offers a range of wooden wall and base units with co-ordinating worktops incorporating a sink unit with drainer and mixer taps, Bosch induction hob
with overhead extractor and electric oven beneath, integrated Indesit washing machine and integrated slimline Indesit dishwasher, under-counter Indesit fridge and Indesit freezer. The kitchen features attractive tiled flooring and

attractive stained glass window.

aspect room partly in the eaves and with an attractive leaded-light oval window.

ceiling and exposed beams.
• The family bathroom is approached via glazed sliding door and features a
panelled bath with tiled surround, pedestal wash basin and WC. Velux window.

Outside
The garden is something of an unexpected treat. To the rear of the house is a wide paved area with mature beds with a range of trees and shrubs which leads ultimately to the main garden which features a variety of areas suitable for entertaining and al fresco dining but also ideal for those with an interest in gardening. There is a pretty ornamental pond with a sturdy bench for contemplation, an excellent garden shed/ summer house with good storage that also serves as a refuge from the English weather.
There is a generous area dedicated to a vegetable garden, also with a range of attractive ornamental shrubs and two steps lead up to a generous paved area providing additional parking behind secure gates and giving access to the garage.
There is an additional parking space in front of both the double gates and the garage.
