Sheepstreet Lane, Etchingham, TN19

A detached family home set in a peaceful location on the outskirts of Etchingham, enjoying wonderful countryside views. Whilst comfortably habitable as is, the property would benefit from some updating and is considered to offer a rather special and unique opportunity to modernize and potentially extend (STPP) to truly maximise the plot and make the most of the setting.

The front door is set in a recessed porch, opening into  an entrance hall with access to the kitchen/dining room and a convenient ground floor WC.

The double aspect kitchen/dining room features a brick fireplace housing a wood burning stove and has wood flooring and a spiral staircase leading up to the first floor with picture window overlooking the front garden, providing additional natural light. The kitchen currently comprises fitted base units with worktop and sink beneath a window overlooking the garden. There is space for a freestanding cooker and fridge freezer. Beyond the kitchen is a rear porch with storage cupboard, leading out to the garden.

The triple aspect living room has a delightful outlook, over the garden, adjoining field and view beyond. It is an ideal space for relaxing or entertaining. It has a large central fireplace with wood burner and French doors leading out to the rear garden.

Upstairs, the bedrooms and shower room are accessed off a central landing. The principal bedroom has built in wardrobes and enjoys a particularly impressive outlook to the rear.

There are two further double bedrooms and a fourth, smaller bedroom/study, all with views.

The shower room is fitted with a walk-in shower with glass screen, WC and sink. It has a skylight window providing natural light from the front.

Outside, there is a gated entrance from the lane, which leads onto the driveway, providing parking. Just off of the driveway there is a good sized outbuilding/store, with possible potential for a garage (STPP). There is an area of garden to the front of the house, framed with mature shrub borders that offer privacy from the lane.

The rear garden is enclosed with hedge borders. In keeping a low hedge line along the Southern boundary, the house and garden is afforded the wonderful views out over the adjoining field and across the Rother Valley.

The property is located on the rural outskirts of Etchingham. The village offers a 14th Century Church, Primary School (rated Good by Ofsted in 2023) and Village Hall, which hosts classes such as yoga, pilates and badminton. There is a small post office and a sports/social club that serves local ales and hosts live music, as well as an award winning Bistro at the station serving breakfasts and lunches and also hosting pizza evenings.

Etchingham rail station is about 1.2 miles away, putting it within walking distance without the need to find parking, with services to London Charing Cross (London Bridge in approximately 1 Hour and 15 minutes).

The area is designated as one of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the surrounding countryside provides wonderful walking opportunities.

There are local convenience stores in neighbouring Hurst Green (1.6 miles), Ticehurst (2.8 miles), Burwash (3.5 miles), and Robertsbridge (4 miles), all within a short  drive. The larger towns of Hawkhurst (5.7 miles), Battle (9.5 miles) and Heathfield (10.5 miles) provide a wider selection of shops/supermarkets, and the village is about half way between the Spa town of Tunbridge Wells and the beach front at Hastings, both of which are easily accessible via the A21 at Hurst Green.

Secondary and private school options are available in several of the nearby towns.
