2 Red Barn Cottages dates back to 1926, built in a Georgian style, with attractive red brick facade, double fronted with sash windows. Internally the property is presented in immaculate order, having recently been refurbished throughout to include under floor heating to the ground floor and shutters to all the windows. Both the dining room and living room are generously proportioned with tall ceilings and large windows facing to the south west making the space feel large and bright. The kitchen is modern, in a Shaker style, and in turn leads into a wonderful garden room which is a versatile space which could be used as an additional sitting area, with windows to two sides overlooking the manicured gardens and has a vaulted ceiling. To the first floor there are three bedrooms, two being doubles with windows facing south west and a modern bath/shower room which enjoys a double aspect. Externally the property enjoys two parking spaces to the front and an attractive red brick pathway gives access to the front door and an attractive terrace with countryside views. The rear garden offers privacy, backs onto fields, beautifully landscaped and maintained. The patio area immediately off the kitchen and garden room enjoys a gazebo for alfresco dining. The property is situated in the centre of the popular village of Sedlescombe, just a few minutes walk from the village green with the Queens Head Public House, village store and post office, doctors surgery and Sedlescombe C of E primary school. Nearby Battle provides a mainline station with services to London Charing Cross and to the south Hastings and St Leonards offer a wide range of amenities, most High Street shops and supermarkets, pubs, bars, restaurants and recreational facilities. The area is very well served for schools, both comprehensive and private and the property is in the Claverham Community College catchment area. The property is offered to the market with no onward chain and viewing is highly recommended.

Historical Note: Designed by Nathaniel Lloyd of Great Dixter (father of Christopher Lloyd) as cottages for estate workers from Castlemans. Original hand-coloured plans are held at Great Dixter. Built with locally produced Neatenden bricks specified by Nathaniel to be varied in colour, with some being "blue". The cottages are mentioned in The Buildings of England (Sussex:East) by Nikolaus Pevsner.
