Down Lane, Frant, TN3

2 Rock Cottages is a characterful, terraced cottage, likely to date back to the Georgian era. It forms one of a row of 4 cottages, displaying the traditional Flemish bond brickwork with stone quoining and multi-pane casement windows to the front.

This property has had replacement double glazed windows in the style of the period windows.

Unlike the neighbours, this property benefits from a generous parking area at the head of the row of cottages, which will accommodate up to four cars.

This property also benefits from a large garden plot, separate but close to the house, which offers superb scope for creating a little oasis of your own. It currently has a timber store in the far corner with a covered decked area. There is also an area directly behind the house, ideal for having a morning coffee, barbeque or relaxing sit down after work.

The cottage itself has two reception rooms, a kitchen to the rear, two bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs. There are fireplaces in the reception rooms and bedrooms, although currently only the sitting room fireplace is in use, with a wood burner in situ, ideal for cosy nights in.

The kitchen offers scope for improvement and is currently fitted with white wall and base units, with tiled splashbacks, an integrated double oven, electric hob and a stainless steel sink and drainer. There is also space for a washing machine and American style fridge freezer.

The main bedroom is a spacious double bedroom with built-in wardrobe and feature fireplace. Whilst it is possible to use the second bedroom as a bedroom, the bathroom is accessed through this room, so it works best as a study or dressing room or a child’s or guest bedroom. It has a deep storage cupboard over the stairs and separate built-in wardrobe.

The bathroom is a generous size and has a panelled bath with Mira Sport shower over, vanity unit and WC. There is also an airing cupboard.

Down Lane is a quiet, country lane on the rural outskirts of Frant.

There are footpaths accessed further down Down Lane, providing access to beautiful countryside walks, including around Eridge Park and the Sussex Border path. The Area is designated as one of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

The pretty and popular village of Frant, about one mile away, enjoys a central green with playground and village hall, village store with post office, hairdressers, two pubs, and a “good” primary school (Ofsted 2022). Just outside the village (in Bells Yew Green, 2.3 miles) is Frant station, with services to London Bridge in about 52 minutes. There is also a good bus service running through the village (with bus stop just a little way up the main road from Down Lane) connecting Heathfield and Tunbridge Wells. Wadhurst, about four miles away, offers a wider selection of village facilities and a mainline railway station (2.8 miles) with more frequent services.

 The Spa town of Royal Tunbridge Wells is only about three miles away, offering fabulous shopping and the beautiful regency style paved Pantiles area, theatres and various other leisure facilities. This town also has a mainline railway station and high achieving grammar schools. The area is well served with both private and state schools.
