Ailies Lane, East Hoathly

Charles Wycherley Independent Estate Agents are delighted to present this most attractive cottage in the stunning Quadrangle of property in the hamlet of East Hoathly, a rural idyll. The property is a most attractive looking cottage on 2 floors. There are 3 double bedrooms, the main bedroom having an ensuite bathroom and a fabulous view over open fields, and the other 2 bedrooms looking over the delightful Quadrangle with 7 acres of ancient woodland beyond. The ground floor has an entrance hall with utility room and cloakroom to one side and kitchen/breakfast room to the other side, overlooking the garden. There is a full-width sitting room with fireplace to the rear. The garden is south-west facing and privately enclosed, being a stunning area for sitting with a summerhouse and alfresco dining.

The property has oil fired central heating.

The Quadrangle is a most attractive development built for tranquillity around 1910, with a number of houses arranged largely as terraced, around the grass quadrangle. Chelsea Cottage nestles in a rural environment in the countryside, half-way between East Hoathly and Chiddingly with stunning walks, including through its own woods. East Hoathly has a pub, a coffee shop, Post Office store and a primary school with recreation ground, and likely improvements coming. Chiddingly is home to the superb Six Bells pub, a rural retreat with church, village hall and cricket ground. The area is just 15 mins drive from Glyndebourne Opera House and is mid-way between Uckfield and the historical town of Lewes, both with train links to London.
