Garfield Road, Hailsham

You can walk to most of what you need from Garfield Road. The High Street is a few minutes away on foot, and so is the Cuckoo Trail, the old railway line that now runs as a walking and cycling route north towards Heathfield and south towards Polegate. Polegate station is a short drive, with direct Southern services into London Victoria. The A22 and A27 put Eastbourne, Lewes, Brighton and the coast within easy reach.

A panelled timber door opens into an enclosed porch with room for coats and boots. The living room sits at the front, with a window to the street and a red brick fireplace midway along the side wall - the obvious point to set the room out around. Behind it is the dining room, and this is where you meet the staircase - a V-shaped split, two flights coming together three steps up, one rising to the bedrooms and the other to the bathroom. You do not get that in a newer house. Across the back, the kitchen and utility area both face the garden. The kitchen has light granite-effect worktops and a ceramic sink, and has been opened through into the utility space beyond, so the two work as one long run across the rear of the house - the cooking end, then a second run of worktop with its own door out to the garden for the washing and the recycling. Upstairs there are two bedrooms, both with chimney breast recesses either side, the natural place for wardrobes or shelving, and a bathroom with a modern white suite, a panelled bath with a shower over and a folding glass screen.

The rear garden is laid to lawn, with a stepping-stone path to a paved patio, a raised vegetable bed, planted borders and a good-sized timber shed. Close-boarded fencing encloses it, with a gateway to either side giving the shared rear access typical of older terraced properties. At the front, a red block-paved area makes an easy spot for the bins, with a low brick wall and pillars marking the boundary and framing the path to the door, and public car parks within walking distance. Take the tour first, arrange a viewing second - no sign-up, just click the link. Ready to see it in person? Use the call or email buttons on this listing.
