A charming and characterful period cottage, offering two double bedrooms, two reception rooms, gardens and off road parking, with views through to the Rother Valley. Available with NO ONWARD CHAIN.

Toll cottage forms a charming, Period, yet un-listed cottage. The property has been well-presented throughout, complete with some new windows, new tile flooring and updated kitchen and bathroom suites. It does however retain a lot of its charm and period features such as the large inglenook fireplace with wood burner, exposed beams and original wide floorboards to the first floor.

One enters into the sitting room, which is a good sized room with windows to front, rear and side, plus the inglenook fireplace and stairs to the first floor with a small under-stairs cupboard. From this room there is access to both the kitchen and the dining room, which forms a very useful room, with windows to both sides and front, and a door to a walk-in, centrally heated, storage cupboard.

The kitchen is a galley kitchen, with cupboards to both sides, bespoke slatted shelving to the rear and cottage style solid wood wall shelf above modern worktops. There is ample space for appliances, a stable door and window to the rear garden, plus a further access to the side garden. There is also the wall-mounted boiler, for central heating and hot water.

The first floor provides a little landing, with wide floor boards and window to the side. Bedroom one is a good sized double, with window to front and a lovely outlook over Fletching Street to the valley beyond, between the houses opposite. These views are shared by the second bedroom, which is also a good size and enjoys the same wide floor boards.

The bathroom is at the rear of the cottage, overlooking the rear garden, comprising a WC, basin and panelled bath with a shower over, and access to a large airing cupboard also housing the water tank.

To the front of the cottage is a white picket fenced garden, enjoying a sunny south facing aspect, with a small area of grass, maturing red Acer, honeysuckle and a climbing rose. A brick path leads from the gate to the front door. There is an additional side garden, with access from the front via the neighbouring property, complete with a log store and a well.

The rear garden is enclosed, with a paved courtyard style patio by the kitchen, and stone steps leading up to a little lawned area, with further small patio, magnificent mature Magnolia tree and flower beds around. There is a gate to the adjoining property's garden, with rights of access.

The off road parking space is to the left of the cottage when looking from the front, enclosed by hedging to the sides, and stone wall to the rear, suitable for one car, with a further larger log store and area for bin storage.
