Smeatons Lane, Winchelsea Beach, Winchelsea, East Sussex, TN36

Enjoying an enviable coastal setting, Hawthorns is tucked away along a peaceful, unmade lane leading directly towards the shoreline. Positioned on elevated ground on the south-eastern side of Dogs Hill Road, the property commands attractive views across Harbour Field, with the remains of the historic Smeaton’s Harbour lying below.

The shingle beach and the celebrated Rye Harbour Nature Reserve are both within easy walking distance. The reserve is recognised for its ecological importance, with extensive areas designated as both a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and a Special Protection Area (SPA).

Hawthorns is a detached bungalow dating originally from the 1930s, constructed in part timber frame and part brick beneath a pitched tiled roof. The exterior is finished with attractive whitewashed pebble-dash elevations and the property benefits throughout from double glazed windows.

A glazed entrance opens into a bright sun room overlooking the front garden and Harbour Field beyond. From here, an inner door leads through to the dining room, a characterful space featuring exposed floorboards and a painted fireplace.

The spacious triple-aspect sitting room enjoys an abundance of natural light and centres around a fireplace fitted with a wood-burning stove, with pleasant views to both the front and rear.

The kitchen retains a rustic feel with exposed floorboards and brick chimney breast, together with fitted sink unit, storage cupboards and gas cooker point with extractor hood above. Beyond the kitchen is a practical rear lobby with tiled flooring, additional appliance space and a double glazed door opening onto the garden. A separate cloakroom with WC adjoins this area.

The inner hall doubles as a utility space, incorporating fitted work surfaces, plumbing for a washing machine, wall-mounted gas boiler and loft access.

There are three bedrooms in total. Bedrooms one and two enjoy front-facing aspects, with the principal bedroom also benefitting from painted floorboards and a corner wash basin. Bedroom three overlooks the rear garden.

The bathroom is fitted with a panelled bath with shower attachment, separate shower cubicle, WC and rear-facing window.

To the front, an in-and-out driveway provides generous off-road parking and access to the attached tandem garage, fitted with an electric up-and-over door together with power and lighting.

The rear garden has been designed for both relaxation and enjoyment, featuring a paved terrace, raised decking area and summerhouse, with steps descending to an area of lawn and ornamental pond. The garden also includes two timber sheds and is enclosed by a combination of mature hedging and fencing.
