Forest Lane, Punnetts Town, Heathfield, TN21

Viewing is essential of this attractive detached Victorian cottage that occupies a delightful location fronting a little used no-through country lane in the heart of the High Weald, close to footpaths and bridleways with access to Dallington Woods.  Having been improved and upgraded in recent years, at the heart of the property is a large kitchen/breakfast room that opens into the living room, both rooms enjoying a dual aspect with views of the garden.  Providing adaptable accommodation there is a ground floor bathroom, utility room and an additional reception room that could be used as a ground floor bedroom.  The first floor provides three double bedrooms and a smaller nursery/occasional bedroom.  Improved in recent years there are bespoke replacement sash windows, painted rendered elevations and oil fired central heating with radiators throughout. The garden provides a good deal of privacy being enclosed with established trees, shrubs and rhododendrons with a level lawn and south facing patio.  The driveway provides ample parking and there is a large timber shed and log store.

NOTE: The property has a private drainage system.
