Church Farm Lane, Chalvington, Hailsham, East Sussex BN27

With red-brick elevations under a newely retiled roof and a feature bay window, Lovers Cottage is an appealing countryside dwelling with interiors displaying the perfect blend of retained, character details in harmony with contemporary styling. The white painted décor and fittings provide a bright and airy ambience throughout, with the ground floor offering a comfortable sitting room which extends into the bay alcove and showcases a vintage wood-burning stove, with tiled hearth, and an arched recess to the side of the chimney breast. A door gives access into the adjoining kitchen which features terracotta tiled-flooring and contemporary wall and base level cabinetry, whilst an aperture leads through to a back hall and the lower level cloakroom.
A staircase rises from the entrance porch to the first floor rooms which benefit from the elevated outlook over the surrounding landscape. There are two well-proportioned bedrooms on the upper level, one with wardrobe storage, and a smart family bathroom with shower over the bath.

A length of hedging fronts the lane with a timber five-bar gate opening onto an area of hardstanding for parking and leading to the garage. The garden to the side features floral and colourful trees, with areas of lawn and beds containing a selection of shrubs and perennial plants. There is a low level brick wall with steps and a pathway which adjoins the house and leads to the covered entrance portal, whilst brick-built outbuildings positioned beside the property provide useful storage and a home for garden equipment.
