Weald Close, Barcombe, BN8

GUIDE PRICE £325,000 - £350,000. NO ONWARD CHAIN AND VACANT POSSESSION. PLEASE WATCH THE WALKTHROUGH VIDEO & DRONE VIDEO.

This well-presented three-bedroom terraced house offers an excellent opportunity for buyers seeking a centrally located home in the heart of the desirable village of Barcombe.

The property is offered with no onward chain and vacant possession and provides deceptively spacious accommodation arranged over three floors. Features include a fitted kitchen, a modern white bathroom, double glazing, individually controlled electric heating, and a useful brick-and-timber outbuilding. The attached floorplan shows a total internal area of 1020sq ft including the outbuilding.

The ground floor includes a generous kitchen and breakfast room fitted with a range of wall and base units, contrasting worktops, a stainless steel sink with mixer tap, a four-ring electric hob with oven below and cooker hood above, and tiled splash areas. There is space for a washing machine and a breakfast table. Two front-aspect double-glazed windows, along with a double-glazed front door, provides plenty of natural light. Stairs rise to the first floor, and a door leads through to the living room.

The Living room is at the rear of the house. It features a double-glazed rear window and rear door opening directly onto the enclosed patio garden. A chimney breast with a recess and decorative hearth adds character, and a built-in cupboard provides storage.

On the first floor, the landing leads to the main bedroom and bathroom, with further stairs continuing up to the top floor. The first-floor bedroom is a comfortable double room with a rear aspect double-glazed window and a built-in storage cupboard/wardrobe. The spacious bathroom includes a panel-enclosed bath with mixer tap and shower attachment, a glass screen, pedestal wash basin, low-level W.C., part-tiled walls, an electric heater, a programmable towel rail, and double-glazed windows.

The top floor contains two further double bedrooms. The rear bedroom measures 13ft x 7ft and has a double-glazed window overlooking the rear garden. The front bedroom also measures 13ft x 7ft and benefits from a front-aspect double-glazed window which offers elevated views over the village and open countryside beyond. If there was not a need to have three bedrooms in total, then one of these top floor rooms would make a perfect playroom/teenager den or a home office.

Outside, the front garden is paved with flower beds and enclosed by fencing with gated access. The rear garden is also paved and fully enclosed, creating a low-maintenance outdoor space ideal for seating and potted plants. The separate outbuilding is constructed of brick and timber. It is positioned at the front of the property and includes a window and adjacent coal shed. It is versatile in its use and could be used as storage, and if power was added could become a utility area, workshop or even potentially converted into a home office.


The Area

Barcombe is a welcoming village located within the Lewes district of East Sussex. The area is particularly valued for its strong sense of community, attractive surroundings, and easy access to the countryside. The village benefits from a community-owned shop and post office, a modern village hall, two public houses, and a business hub offering meeting rooms for hire. One of the pubs, situated near the River Ouse, provides the charming option of hiring rowing boats. Barcombe also features a sports and recreation ground with tennis courts, football and cricket pitches, a bowling green, a children’s play area, and a pavilion. Allotments, walking routes, and countryside footpaths contribute to a rural lifestyle with excellent opportunities for outdoor activities.

Local schooling is a strong feature of the area. Barcombe Church of England Primary School, located in Barcombe Cross, serves children aged 4 to 11 and is well regarded for its warm community atmosphere and inclusive ethos. It is part of the Skylark Federation and is conveniently situated within the village. For secondary education, families typically look to Chailey School in South Chailey (approximately 2.3 miles from Barcombe), a well-established community secondary school for students aged 11 to 16. Another nearby option is King’s Academy Ringmer in Ringmer, also serving ages 11 to 16. Chailey Heritage School in North Chailey provides highly specialised education for young people with complex physical and learning needs.

Transport links from the property are practical for a rural village. Barcombe is served by the Compass Travel 121 bus route, which provides regular services to Lewes. Although Barcombe no longer has its own railway station, residents are within reach of Cooksbridge Station, roughly two miles away, offering rail connections to Lewes, Haywards Heath, Gatwick Airport, and London. The surrounding network of country lanes provides pleasant driving routes to nearby towns, with Lewes accessible within a short journey for broader amenities, shopping, dining, and cultural attractions.

Local amenities in and around Barcombe enhance the appeal of the village further. In addition to the community shop, village hall, and pubs, Barcombe offers plentiful opportunities for walking, cycling, river activities, and community events. The recreation ground supports numerous sports clubs and village gatherings, while the nearby countryside and river pathways offer tranquil routes for exploration.

This cottage represents an excellent combination of charm, practicality, and location. With three bedrooms arranged over three floors, well-proportioned rooms, modern improvements, and a workshop and gardens included, it provides a comfortable home in one of East Sussex’s most desirable and friendly villages, with strong transport connections and excellent amenities close by.
