Property DESCRIPTIONTucked away on a private driveway near Kilsham Copse, this semi-detached cottage combines its original character with the sophisticated comforts of a modern home. Sitting on a generous plot, the property offers exceptional privacy while remaining excellently connected to local village life.
Concluding in April 2023, a systematic "back-to-brick" renovation included a full rewire, a new roof, and underfloor heating in the open plan living area. For year round comfort, air conditioning is installed in both bedroom one and the room above the detached double garage, which the seller currently uses as a guest room.
The redesign focuses on natural light, featuring bi-fold doors and a picture window that frames expansive, open views across the Sussex countryside. A bespoke lighting scheme includes indirect ambient light and subtle, skirting-level LED ribbons in the kitchen, shower room and bathroom.
The heart of the home is a spacious open plan living area with a Dovre 525 cleanburn burner. Outside, the mature gardens provide a peaceful retreat with a productive kitchen garden. Situated approximately 300 metres from the Heath End Store and bus links, the home also benefits from exceptionally friendly and considerate neighbours. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a fully reimagined, low maintenance home in a premier rural position.
