AP Estate Agents are delighted to present this characterful two-bedroom mews house, nestled within the highly sought-after village of Willingdon. Set directly opposite the 12th-century St Mary the Virgin Church, the property enjoys a truly picturesque setting surrounded by notable period homes and the rolling backdrop of the South Downs. Accessed via an archway into a cobbled brick courtyard, this charming residence exudes a sense of community and tranquillity. Its knapped flint façade evokes the elegance of a bygone era, while the home itself is believed to date from the late 1990s, offering the reassurance of modern construction behind its heritage styling. Inside, the accommodation includes a welcoming L-shaped lounge with space to dine and double doors opening to the garden, a well-appointed kitchen with integrated appliances and breakfast bar, and two generous double bedrooms served by a contemporary family bathroom. The property benefits from full double glazing and gas central heating throughout. Outside, you'll find a walled courtyard garden, beautifully stocked with mature shrubs that provide privacy and seasonal colour. A private garage and allocated parking complete the offering, making this an ideal home for those seeking charm, convenience, and a village lifestyle within easy reach of Eastbourne.
INSIDE THE PROPERTY
Step inside this inviting mews-style home and you’re welcomed by a central hallway that forms the heart of the ground floor. Elegant parquet flooring runs throughout this space, adding depth and warmth, while a generous understairs cupboard provides practical storage. There’s also room for a bureau or occasional furniture, ideal for creating a quiet reading nook or writing space. To the rear, a glazed panel door leads into the L-shaped living room, where double doors open directly onto the garden, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection. A gas flame fire serves as a cosy focal point and also functions as the back boiler for the central heating system. Alcoves on either side offer built-in shelving, and there’s a natural spot for a dining table along the return wall—perfectly positioned en route to the kitchen. The kitchen is both functional and welcoming, fitted with a range of oak-fronted wall and base units topped with light work surfaces that extend into a breakfast bar. Integrated appliances include a fridge freezer, electric oven and grill, and a four-ring gas hob with extractor above. A 1.5 bowl sink and plumbing for a washing machine complete the setup, offering a compact yet efficient workspace with ample storage.
UPSTAIRS
A staircase with a distinctive blend of wrought iron handrails and balustrade leads to a good sized landing, offering access to all first-floor rooms. The landing also features a loft hatch and a double storage cupboard with both hanging and shelving space—ideal for linen, seasonal items, or overflow storage. Bedroom One is a roomy double, enhanced by dual aspect dormer windows that flood the room with natural light and add architectural interest. Bedroom Two is also a double, complete with overhead fitted furniture and an airing cupboard housing a lagged cylinder, confirming the property benefits from a traditional boiler system rather than a combination unit. The family bathroom is finished in a crisp white suite, with tiling accented by a green border that complements the green panelled bath. A shower over the bath, glass screen, low-level WC, and corner pedestal basin with a matching corner cupboard above complete the space, offering both function and extra storage.
OUTSIDE
This delightful development is arranged in a classic mews-style layout, where a select number of homes are set around a private, cobbled courtyard accessed via an archway. The arrangement evokes a sense of seclusion and community, offering residents a peaceful retreat from the bustle of everyday life. Each property is thoughtfully positioned to maximise privacy while maintaining a harmonious architectural flow, featuring flint or brick facades, and period detailing that complements the surrounding heritage. The courtyard itself provides allocated parking, garaging, and a welcoming shared space that enhances the overall aesthetic and lifestyle appeal. Ideal for buyers seeking character, charm, and convenience, mews-style homes offer a unique blend of traditional design and modern comfort, often tucked away in desirable village settings like Willingdon. This property has a private walled garden that has lush vegetation which helps with its privacy, a path leads from the back door around the side of the property to a parking area as well as a single attached garage which is numbered for the property, an excellent space for extra storage of a vehicle or items you wish to keep secure.
