Cade Street, Heathfield, TN21

Baytree Cottage is believed to date from 1926 and is very typical in style and character with original sash windows, working fireplace and stripped floorboards.  The spacious entrance hall has a wide turned staircase and is a welcoming space and leads to all the principle rooms.  The sitting room centres around a working fireplace and enjoys a large bay window to the front.  Double doors lead to a generous dining room, immediately adjacent to the kitchen, with French doors leading out onto the rear porch with views over the south facing partially walled rear garden.  Upstairs the property enjoys two double bedrooms and a single as well as a family bathroom.  The bedrooms to the rear of the property enjoy views over the established rear garden and from bedroom 2 there is access to a large loft space which offers further potential, but at present provides ample storage.  Outside to the front, the property offers off road parking for three cars and an attached garage and to the rear the gardens are a particular feature being well established, private, partially walled, generous in size and enjoy a southerly aspect.  The property offers potential to be further enhanced and extended subject to any planning consents.  The property has a number of solar panels which serve the air source heat pump and hot water system.  The property is located in a quaint village setting on a lane and within walking distance of the renowned Star Inn country pub in Old Heathfield and the highly regarded Heathfield School and sixth form college.  A more comprehensive range of amenities can be found in Heathfield with a bustling High Street of independently owned shops as well as supermarkets including a Waitrose, Sainsburys, Tescos local and a Co-op.  The area is also generally well served for facilities and country walks and a short drive away there is a mainline station with regular services to London Charing Cross and the coast at Hastings.
