Full Details

AP Estate Agents are pleased to present a fantastic opportunity to acquire a property in need of extensive modernisation, situated in a highly sought-after location. Conveniently close to local shops and within walking distance of a nearby primary school, this home offers great potential for those looking to renovate and create their ideal living space. With generously sized accommodation, a spacious garden, and off-road parking, this property provides the perfect foundation for a rewarding project. Whether you're searching for a home to transform or an investment opportunity, this could be the chance you've been waiting for. Bell & Pearson houses such as this one, are well-regarded for their solid construction and spacious layouts, making them popular among families and those looking for well-built homes with character. Many of these properties date back to the 1960s and have been thoughtfully extended or modernized over the years to suit contemporary living.

INSIDE THE PROPERTY

You enter the property through a small porch, which provides a welcoming introduction to the home before leading into the generously sized living room. A large front-facing window floods the space with natural light, creating a bright and airy atmosphere. The room features an ornamental stone fireplace with an inset gas fire, and with the presence of a chimney, those keen on a log burner may have the option to install one. Currently, the staircase ascends from the living room, but in some similar properties, this has been altered to lead from the porch instead. This adjustment can be a smart choice, as it creates an additional wall in the living room, offering more flexibility for furniture placement. The extra reception room was originally the kitchen and now presents a versatile space that could serve a variety of purposes—whether as a dining room, study, playroom, or something else entirely. It also benefits from a useful understairs storage cupboard, a side-facing window, and built-in shelving. Double doors lead from the living room into the kitchen/dining area, an extension added before the 1990s that significantly enhances the home’s space. With thoughtful reconfiguration, this area could accommodate a stylish, modern kitchen with a central island, making it a standout feature of the property. Currently, the kitchen is arranged in an L-shape, featuring a combination of wall and base units, a built-in four-ring hob with extractor above, space and plumbing for a washing machine, and room for an electric oven. A door opens directly to the garden, creating a seamless flow that makes this home particularly well-suited for entertaining.

UPSTAIRS

Stairs rise from the living room to the first floor, where a small landing provides access to the various rooms. At the front of the property, Bedroom 1 remains a spacious double, despite a slight reduction in size to accommodate the staircase leading to the second floor. It retains a generous feel and a great sense of space. Bedroom 2, positioned at the rear, is another well-proportioned double, though slightly smaller than the main bedroom. With its rear-facing aspect overlooking the garden and the scenic Cuckoo Trail, it offers a tranquil and picturesque view—one that would be a delight to wake up to each morning. The family bathroom features a coloured suite, comprising a panelled bath, a pedestal wash basin, and a low-level WC. Additionally, the airing cupboard is conveniently housed within this room. Ascending further, stairs from the landing lead to the second floor, where a storage cupboard is located at the top. This room was converted decades ago and, while perfectly usable, has roof struts within the floor space. It benefits from a Velux window, allowing natural light to filter in, and features eaves storage around the perimeter.

OUTSIDE

The front garden of the property has a few remaining shrubs but is predominantly used as parking space, with a level driveway up the side of the property leading to the rear garden. There used to be a garage which has since been removed and the hardstand left in place. This is something that could be reinstated if required. The rear garden is a good size with a few plants, shrubs and trees around it perimeter it is most overgrown. The rear of the garden abuts to the Cuckoo trail (The Cuckoo Trail is a picturesque 14-mile route that follows the path of the former Cuckoo Line railway, stretching from Heathfield to Shinewater Park. Passing through Horam, Hailsham, and Polegate, it offers a traffic-free and scenic journey for walkers, cyclists, and horse riders.) 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Due to the loft space being classified as an attic room, planning permission may need to be applied for to use officially as a bedroom, a solicitor will be able to guide you on this during the conveyancing process.
