Sparrows Green, Wadhurst, TN5

Vendor Suited - If you love character but are nervous about buying an older property, then look no further – this semi-detached house has the charm of a period cottage yet was only built in the 90s and is conveniently located close to the shops and schools yet set back from the road with off-road parking and rear garden. EPC: C

Designed in keeping with the traditional tile-hung cottages of the area, this semi-detached house was built in 1993, yet you could mistake it for a much older property as it has period features such as beamed ceilings, an inglenook fireplace and drop-latch doors. You get the benefits of it being a more modern house in terms of good energy efficiency, double glazing, mains gas central heating, as well as recent cosmetic updates.

Key features include:

 -     A country-style kitchen with granite worktops including an integrated dishwasher and space for a freestanding electric cooker and tall fridge freezer;

-     The kitchen is open plan to the dining area, with a  wide opening through to the living room as well;

-     The living room features an inglenook-style brick fireplace with bressummer beam, housing a woodburning stove on a stone hearth;

-     Adjacent to the living room is a sunroom with doors out to the rear garden;

-     There is recently installed wood-effect LVT flooring throughout much of the ground floor;

-     There is a ground floor WC and a large cupboard under the stairs with space/plumbing for a washing machine;

-     The main bedroom has an outlook over the garden and a view down over fields and woodland to the rear. There is the exposed mellow bricks of the chimney breast on one wall and built-in wardrobe/shelving;

-     The two other bedrooms on the first floor are more comfortably single bedrooms or, if not required as bedrooms, would make excellent rooms for a study, dressing room and/or hobby room;

-     The bathroom has recently been updated and has a bath and separate shower cubicle;

-     The top floor offers effectively another room although due to the access being a fixed ladder rather than a staircase, building regs would not class this as accommodation. Nevertheless the room is large and currently accommodates a spare bed and fixed worktop so is ideal for an office as well;

-     There is also access to a boarded loft space off the second floor, as well as eaves access for storage.

Externally, the house is accessed via a shared gravel driveway with next door. There is space to park in front of the house. There is access down the side of the house to the rear garden. The garden has a paved patio with raised beds each side as well as an area of lawn with planted beds around it, a decked seating area with box seating and a small wildlife pond. The house backs onto land owned by the primary school, although that area is not widely used. There are trees behind that the house looks out over.
