Timbers forms a charming, detached, character cottage, believed to date from around 1692, with many later additions to form the present house. There are beams and exposed timbers and a lovely fireplace in the sitting room. The property now comprises four double bedrooms, three bathrooms, including one en-suite, and three reception rooms, plus a kitchen, reception hall, laundry/utility room, a detached garage and store.

The house is now in need of modernisation throughout, and indeed, situated in a tucked away plot of just under the acre, it is considered that there is huge scope to refurbish, extend and/or redevelop the whole site, subject to the necessary planning consents.

The views are stunning, looking out across open fields and woodland within the Rother Valley to the west and north to Mayfield.

One enters into a a front lobby, with a further door into the reception hall, including a staircase to the first floor, plus part panelled walls and a timbered ceiling. A step down leads into the garden room, with the views across the garden and valley beyond.

The dining room is opposite the hall, with one low, central beam, plus two windows to front and a door to the sitting room, with windows to side and a bay window to front, the fireplace and the 1692 date carved into the bressumer beam.

The kitchen is behind the dining room, with windows to rear and side facing the views, comprising an array of oak cupboards and drawers, formica worktops with an integrated sink and drainer. There is space for several appliances, and a door to the rear garden, plus a further door to an inner lobby. The inner lobby provides access to an airing cupboard, plus a downstairs bathroom, comprising a bath, WC, basin, part tiled walls and floor, towel rail and a window to side.

The stairs to the first floor provides access to a large, open landing, with a window to side and exposed beams. An opening leads into the inner landing.

Bedroom one enjoys the best of the views, with a partly vaulted roofline, fitted wardrobe and a door to the en-suite bathroom, comprising a bath, WC and basin, part tiled walls and a window to side.

Bedrooms two and three are at the other end of the landing, with windows to the other side, and both have cupboards, whilst bedroom four has a window to front. Off the landing is a further family bathroom, comprising a bath, WC and basin, plus part tiled walls and a window to rear.

Accessed from outside, near the garage, is a laundry/utility room, with space and plumbing for appliances.

The house is accessed via a gated gravel driveway, leading to the detached garage, which has an electric up and over door and a rear store room with doors to the side.

The gardens are lovely, with an ornamental fish pond near the drive, plus mature trees and shrubs to the lane side of the house. Along the southern boundary is a wild area of garden, with the more formal areas being around the house, including a paved patio by the front door, and an expanse of lawn on the western side, making the most of the views.

Timbers is situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty just outside the village of Broad Oak, backing on to open farmland.

Broad Oak is a small, popular village, with a small Spar village store, currently in the process of changing to Budgens, post office, gym and hairdressers, the popular Tottingworth Park Farm Shop and a short distance to the renowned Lakedown Brewing Co taproom owned by pop legend Roger Daltrey.

The medieval village of Mayfield is approximately 5 miles from the property & 1.5 miles from Burwash, and both have a good range of shops, pubs, schools and annual events.
