Bodiam, Robertsbridge, TN32

This delightful end of terrace period property has been sympathetically extended over the years to provide flexible accommodation laid out over two floors.  On the market for the first time in 28 years, the property was purchased from the Guinness Estate and is within just a short distance to the centre of Bodiam and the castle.  Inside the accommodation enjoys oil central heating with an open fireplace in the living room.  There are two reception rooms, one that could be used as a ground floor bedroom, and a large kitchen/breakfast room, all enjoying an outlook to the delightful cottage gardens.  From the first floor are lovely views over the adjoining countryside down to Bodiam and the steam railway line.  The main bedroom has an en-suite and there is a first floor bathroom.  The pretty cottage gardens are established and to the rear of the property is a large raised patio that gives access down to the workshop.  The outbuilding is a substantial complex comprising of storerooms, workshops and a car port combining to measure some 1261 sq.ft.  It is thought this building may offer some potential, subject to planning, and enjoys an additional section of ground to one side with lovely  views over the adjoining countryside.  The shared vehicular access located to the rear was gifted to the cottages from the Guinness Estate and the private drainage system is about to be renewed and sits in the garden of No. 2.

NOTE: The three cottages are equally responsible for the maintenance of the drainage system and the shared driveway.
