A spacious detached chalet bungalow in a wonderful countryside setting outside Wadhurst enjoying far-reaching views, complete with outbuildings and approximately 11 acres of land.

Description

West Wood is a well cared for property which has been in the same ownership for around 39 years. The setting is very special, benefitting from far reaching views, while in a quiet semi-rural location, accessed off a country lane on the eastern side of Wadhurst and nearby to Stonegate.

Features include full height windows and doors from the key reception areas, which face to the view and open out onto a raised patio, which overlooks the garden and one of the fields beyond. These two reception rooms are adjacent to the kitchen and utility room and in addition downstairs, there are three to four bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a separate shower room. In addition, stairs from the hall lead to two attic rooms upstairs, both with restrictive height, served by a wc off the landing. There is good attic storage here too.

The immaculate garden is predominantly lawned with mature trees and hedging to the boundaries and with post and rail fencing to the paddock beyond.

A gated drive leads in from the lane to a parking area beside the property, with a three bay garage (two open, one with doors) and a garden shed. The drive then continues on down past the property to a grouping of outbuildings, which are in two blocks, with a garage, storage and stabling.

The land comprises three interlinked fields, with the furthest away having a separate gate access from the lane.
There is also areas of woodland with two large ponds. The total acreage is about 11 acres.
