DESCRIPTION
A rare opportunity arises to acquire a charming detached Grade II listed cottage set in the tranquil surrounds of rural Bexhill. Brimming with character, this three-bedroom home features exposed beams and a wood burning stove. Offering ample potential, with its current layout including two bathrooms and accommodation that would benefit from sympathetic modernisation, allowing new owners to craft a truly bespoke country residence.
Set behind a large initial garden, the cottage provides excellent outdoor space, ideal for gardening enthusiasts or children to explore. An accompanying field further enhances the appeal for those with equestrian interests or looking for the rural idyll. For convenience, a detached garage offers secure outside parking and extra storage, whilst there's a barn with potential for restoration.
Enjoy the best of countryside living whilst remaining within reach of Bexhill’s charming town centre, renowned for its independent shops, traditional pubs, and the stunning promenade along the Sussex coast. Excellent transport links connect the area to nearby towns, while a selection of scenic walking routes and nature reserves are just a short distance away.
