Littledene Cottages, Littledene

Charles Wycherley Independent Estate Agents are delighted to offer this superbly modernised Grade II listed period detached property to the market. Originally two cottages, this country house is in a beautiful location and the views are superb over fields to the farm and also to Mount Caburn to the west towards Lewes. The property has two staircases functioning three upstairs bedrooms along with a luxury bathroom, all with views and character. The ground floor has an entrance hall leading to a snug sitting room/bedroom 4, dining room, modern shower room (this area could be a small annex), living room, utility area and a large farmhouse kitchen/family room with a cast iron wood-burner. The property has exposed beams and floorboards, casement windows and fireplaces, as well as an air-source heat pump central heating.

Littledene is a quiet and tranquil lane of just a few houses and a farm, south of Glynde and at the foot of the South Downs close to the South Downs Way, so offers excellent walks. Glynde Railway Station is easy to reach and has services to London Victoria is a little over an hour. Glyndebourne Opera House is just beyond, as is the new Station public house by the cricket ground and open air and above ground swimming pool. Lewes town centre is within easy reach being approximately 3 miles either via the A27 or Ringmer. The town offers an excellent range of independent shops, 3 superstores, the Depot Cinema, cafes, pubs and restaurants, as well as the mainline Railway Station (London Victoria 1 hour, London Bridge 90 mins, & Brighton 15 mins).
