Hastings Road, Battle, TN33

An attractive well maintained Grade II Listed period cottage that presents colour washed brick, weatherboarded and rendered elevations below a tiled roof with gas central heating and radiators throughout.  Retaining a great deal of character, the property enjoys a large living room with exposed timbers and an inglenook fireplace with wood burning stove.  The kitchen offers ample space for a breakfast table.  The rear hallway houses the gas fired boiler and gives access to a bathroom and to the first floor are two bedrooms.  

Approached over a carriage driveway which is shared with the adjoining cottage, there is parking for one or two cars to the front.  The cottage also benefits from a separate gated access into the garden where it is considered there is potential to create additional parking, subject to any additional consents. 

The cottage gardens are a particular feature of the property, having been beautifully planted, they are well screened from the road by a mature hedge and provide a delightful cottage garden.  There is a variety of fruit trees and greenhouse within a large section of lawn that leads to a small paddock.  NB: The paddock and part of the garden is subject to an uplift clause in the event that planning permission is achieved within the next twenty five years.  

The cottage is conveniently located close to good local schools and railway station.  It is easy walking distance to a bus stop, recreation ground and cricket club.
