A classic 4 bedroom country cottage requiring renovation nestled in 1.24 acres on the Ashdown Forest. Various outbuildings including workshop/garaging, paddock area and views to the South Downs.
LOCATION
Camphill Cottage is set in a semi rural location on the boundary of the Ashdown Forest, between Nutley and Crowborough and has views towards the South Downs. With Gatwick just 6 miles away, the M23 18 miles away, and Uckfield train station only 6 miles away, it’s easily accessible to many places and a wide range of good schools.
DESCRIPTION
Formerly two cottages, Camphill Cottage was merged by the previous owners to create an interesting and versatile family home.
There is very adaptable accommodation which currently includes two kitchens, three reception rooms, 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, being ideally suited to multigenerational living.
Now requiring renovation, the property with the current layout does present a blank canvas for buyers to further enhance or modify to create their ideal living space.
GARDEN & GROUNDS
Terraced lawns lie on the east side of the house with apple and cherry trees and steps down from the top lawn to a large flagstone terrace, flanked by raised flower beds, and sitting outside offering distant views to the South Downs. A child’s wendy house lies in one corner and there are also the remnants of the old air raid shelter.
ADAPTABLE OUTBUILDINGS
There is workshop/garaging with extensive parking to the front offering enormous potential subject to planning together with a shed and a summer house/cabin.
Beyond the garden, passing a bank of hydrangeas, lies a separate paddock area – the whole extending to 1.24 acres (0.5 hectares).
