Whydown Road, Bexhill-on-Sea, TN39

White Lodge is a Victorian country house that presents an attractive double fronted facade of white rendered elevations below a pitched tiled roof.  A carriage driveway serves both the house and cottage and is well screened from the lane by mature box hedging.  The spacious entrance hall has original flooring and leads to most of the principal ground floor rooms.  A staircase leads up to the first and second floors and down to the lower ground floor.  Uniquely, two terraces and a balcony stretch across the entire rear of the property where you can enjoy views over the park-like south westerly facing grounds. In addition to the main house there is a separate detached 1/2 bedroom cottage with its own parking and access to the park-like gardens.  The property is located on a quiet country lane on the rural outskirts of Bexhill.  The two properties combined are considered ideal for those looking for a dual occupancy property or for a home and income lifestyle.  

Bexhill is a popular and quiet coastal town with easy access to London via Cooden mainline station with regular services to London Victoria.  The area is well served for schools, both comprehensive and private with Bedes in Eastbourne and Battle Abbey in Battle and recreational facilities including Cooden Beach Golf Club, and many sites of historical interest.  Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate this unique family home.
