The Street, Fairwarp, Ashdown Forest, East Sussex, TN22

Spinners Cottage offers a seldom found opportunity to purchase a detached single storey property with Ashdown Forest literally on the doorstep. From the walled courtyard, the entrance porch leads to the front door, which opens into the dining room with a lovely outlook over the forest, walk in coats/storage cupboard and a high-level dormer window providing additional natural light. The kitchen has wooden work surfaces, oven & hob and walk in larder. The sitting room has a lovely outlook with glazed doors leading to the garden. Approached from the dining room via a corridor are the bedrooms, both looking out onto the forest, the principal bedroom has a window seat & an open fireplace (currently not in use). The guest double bedroom has built in cupboards and two bathrooms complete the accommodation. Whilst recently decorated and re-carpeted, the property requires updating. Subject to obtaining the necessary consents, it is thought that there maybe scope to further extend the property.

The garden is a real feature, with a charming southerly facing walled courtyard, which in summer months provides the feeling of a large “outside room” and is ideal for Alfresco dining. Attached to the side and rear of the cottage are 2 lean to stores (both in need of replacement) The main garden has sweeping expenses of lawn bordered by banks of mature shrubs including rhododendron, azaleas and a magnolia. Towards the far end of the garden is a secluded brick circular seating area, with a path to one side leading through a small wooded area with two yew trees and magnificent beech tree to a pedestrian gate giving access to the forest. Approached via the forest track, wooden five-bar gates give access to a wide gravel parking area. (Please note that the lawn directly in front of the property forms part of Ashdown Forest)

The property lies on the edge, yet close to the centre of this lovely village, which has a pretty Village Green, popular public house, Village Hall, Queen Elizabeth II Sport Field and picturesque church which is situated at the end of the forest track. Ashdown Forest comprises approximately 6,400 acres of protected open heathland providing superb walks. The larger village of Maresfield is just under 2 miles with a primary school, shop, hotel/restaurant and M&S Food. The town of Uckfield with its train station to London and busy High Street, which includes a Waitrose is only 4 miles away. The larger towns of Tunbridge Wells, Lewes and Haywards Heath are 12, 12.5 and 12.5 miles away respectively. EXECUTORS SALE. NO ONWARD CHAIN.
