Balcombe Green, Sedlescombe, TN33

Viewing is essential to appreciate this unlisted period cottage that offers bright accommodation with a wealth of natural exposed timbers including a minstrels gallery over the living room.  Improved and upgraded over the years, the roof has recently been replaced and fully insulated and the gas boiler upgraded.  The accommodation is versatile with three main living areas as well as a separate study.  The custom made hardwood kitchen opens into a dining room with wood burning stove and views of the garden.  There is a sitting room and dual aspect living room that is partially vaulted into the minstrels gallery with an inglenook fireplace and wood burning stove.  To the first floor is an upgraded bathroom and three individual bedrooms that provide good storage with a fourth vaulted bedroom and sitting area on the second floor along with a separate bathroom.  The south facing gardens offer a good deal of privacy, having been beautifully planted together with an area of lawn.  To the front are two parking spaces and access to the garage with an additional parking space adjoining the garden.
