High Street, Robertsbridge, East Sussex, TN32

This property is a distinguished Grade II Listed home, perfectly positioned in the heart of the popular village of Robertsbridge and just a short walk from the village's mainline station, offering direct links to London Bridge and Charing Cross. This elegant property combines historic charm with practical features, including a double garage and a beautifully walled west-facing garden, set on a plot of about 0.22 acres.

A fine example of period architecture, this home reflects a blend of styles from different eras. Its handsome early 19th-century front façade, painted in classic white brick beneath a slate and tile roof, was added to an older structure, creating a home with generous proportions and excellent ceiling heights. Mains gas-fired central heating ensures modern comfort throughout. Local shops are conveniently close, and the station is an easy stroll away.

The entrance is marked by a graceful round-headed front door with a semi-circular fanlight, opening into a spacious hall with a staircase leading to the first floor and a door to the west-facing garden. A downstairs cloakroom is also located here. The attractive L-shaped sitting room features an inglenook-style brick fireplace with a fitted gas log-effect fire, and double doors open onto the west-facing terrace and garden. The well-proportioned dining room includes an open fireplace, while the study offers a fireplace set in a white-painted surround and mantelpiece, flanked by bookshelves on either side.

The large split-level kitchen and breakfast room is the heart of the home, fitted with a sink unit inset into working surfaces, an island unit, cupboards, drawers, and wall cupboards, along with plumbing for a dishwasher and washing machine. A cream three-oven Esse adds a traditional touch, complemented by a pantry cupboard. The breakfast area includes a built-in dresser and cupboards, space for a large kitchen table, a gas fire, and double French doors opening to a suntrap terrace.

Upstairs, a characterful staircase leads to a spacious landing. The main bedroom enjoys westerly views and an en-suite shower room with shower cubicle, basin and toilet. The guest bedroom also benefits from its own shower room and a staircase rises to a useful attic storage room. Two further bedrooms, one with a wardrobe cupboard, share a large family bathroom with bath, separate shower cubicle, basin, and toilet.

Attached to the kitchen and breakfast room are two brick-and-tile outbuildings, one serving as a utility room with plumbing for a washing machine and the other as an implement store. The property is approached by car via the public car park through double oak entrance gates, leading to a detached English Heritage double garage built in 1991, timber-framed and weatherboard-clad beneath a tiled roof. A vehicular right of way divides the garage from the garden for the benefit of two neighbouring properties.

The garden is a particular highlight, being principally walled and offering a large, paved west-facing sun terrace adjacent to the house. A gravel pathway runs from the garage to the house, bordered by a good-sized lawn, specimen trees, flower beds, and roses. In all, the grounds extend to about 0.22 acres.
