Description
Set in the heart of Wadhurst, behind the High Street, this Grade II listed, 2-bedroom mid-terraced cottage offers a charming retreat steeped in history. Boasting beautiful period features such as exposed timbers and the original mullion windows, this attached cottage exudes character at every turn. Conveniently located within a stone's throw from local shops, eateries, amenities, and schools, with the mainline station within 1.5 miles and bus stop around the corner, the property offers both comfort and practicality. Wadhurst offers a friendly and active community with plenty of events throughout the year and opportunities to get involved and meet your neighbours.
There is an attractive courtyard to the front of the property, where the sellers have created a lovely seating area surrounded by potted plants for a splash of colour, and regularly enjoy a cup of tea or bite to eat whilst watching the world go by.
A few steps up to the front door, which opens into a small hallway with an incredibly useful large cupboard to hide away coats and shoes by the warmth of the boiler. The kitchen is on the entrance level and is a good size, with excellent storage and fitted appliances including a Neff double oven, induction hob, Hotpoint washing machine and dishwasher and we understand the fridge/freezer is also included in the sale. There is plenty of space for a large dining table and the perfect spot for a sofa in the recess of the old Inglenook fireplace, making this a really comfortable space for entertaining. Hidden in the flooring, is a trap door with stairs leading down to a basement storage area and although the head height is a little restricted, the storage space it offers is fantastic and runs the entire length of the kitchen, with strip lighting and several power points.
Upstairs, the living room is flooded with light and period features include more exposed timbers, evidence of the original mullion windows and an attractive cast iron feature fireplace. This room is an L-shape with a natural divide created by a small step up, enabling you to use this as one room or for two uses if preferred. There is also a small study with Velux rooflight and a bathroom with shower over the bath, basin and toilet on this level.
On the second floor, features to note are exampled of stained glass and an ornate carved timber. Up here, you will find two double bedrooms. The larger of the two bedrooms has a recess which could be used to create a wardrobe area and it has an en-suite bathroom. For a property dating back to the 17th Century, the head heights are generally very good with just a couple of doorways being lower and the light decor and honey-coloured timbers mean this character cottage is filled with natural light.
There is unrestricted roadside parking in the town and a free car park is available nearby, next to Uplands Academy.
