The Cottage...
A charming Victorian cottage believed to date originally from the 1850s, situated in the sought after village of Balcombe. This inviting home is offered for sale in excellent order throughout and boasts an abundance of character features combined modern fixtures & fittings; including beamed ceilings, latch doors, inset ceiling speakers, double glazed cottage windows and gas fired central heating.

The ground floor offers cosy yet spacious, open plan accommodation with sitting, dining and study/snug areas – ideal for hosting & entertaining guests. The separate modern fitted kitchen is a good size, has range of integrated appliances and leads on to the garden.

On the first floor the central landing leads to three well proportioned double bedrooms. The master bedroom provides ample space for an ‘Emperor’ sized bed whilst bedroom two boasts an en-suite shower room with ‘Aqualisa’ power shower. Bedroom 3 is also a double and the contemporary family bathroom has a deep bath tub and separate walk-in shower.

Cottages of this calibre are seldom available in Balcombe, and as such an early internal viewing is highly recommended.

Outside...
To the rear is a sunny garden enjoying a favoured southerly aspect. The main area is mainly decked for ease of maintenance, using local wood sourced from Balcombe Saw Mill. A garden gate leads to the gravelled parking area which affords off road parking for two vehicles and space for a small shed & bin storage.
