Description
This charming three-bedroom detached character cottage enjoys a truly exceptional setting, surrounded by the breathtaking Ashdown Forest and positioned opposite Hundred Acre Wood, the inspiration behind A.A. Milne’s Winnie-the-Pooh books. The cottage has been sympathetically updated throughout, combining modern comforts with a wealth of original character, including exposed sandstone walls, brick floors, fireplaces and exposed timbers.
The ground floor offers a welcoming reception hall, impressive sitting room with wood-burning stove, dining room with Everhot stove,re fitted kitchen, utility room, re-fitted bath/shower room and a comfortable third bedroom. Two further double bedrooms occupy the first floor, both enjoying wonderful views across the gardens and Ashdown Forest beyond, together with a separate WC.
The gardens are a particular highlight, offering exceptional privacy with generous lawns, beautifully stocked cottage borders, vegetable and cutting beds, fruit trees and soft fruit. A pretty wisteria-clad arbour provides a memorable approach to the house, while mature hedging creates a wonderfully secluded setting.
The grounds also include a timber home office with power, coal fired sauna, timber stores and a substantial oak-framed garage barn with a multi function room above with its own entrance. The barn offers excellent versatility for storage, workspace or potential ancillary accommodation, subject to consent.
Planning permission has been approved for a two-storey rear extension, providing a further double bedroom and spacious double-aspect dining room. With direct access to the 6,500-acre Ashdown Forest, exceptional gardens and an enviable literary setting, this is a truly unique country home.
