A timeless countryside gem, Toft Cottage is a delightful three-bedroom cottage enjoying an elevated and set back location offering sweeping rural views in gardens of just under half an acre. Built in 1929, quietly extended over the years, with recent contemporary updates, this exclusive Lions Green cottage combines period charm with a surprisingly flexible layout, capturing the heart of Sussex living. Step into a home where period charm meets modern comfort. The accommodation flows from a welcoming hallway into a bright kitchen/breakfast room, two comfortable reception rooms, a master bedroom with en-suite, two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom. One of the home's great advantages is the generous storage available throughout, making it practical and characterful. Original features retained include oak-framed leaded windows, exposed beams, original oak mantlepieces and beehive fireplaces, with traditional doors and carefully retained latches, while good ceiling heights bathe the rooms in natural light. Beyond the house, there is a recently built summerhouse, a utility/boot room with dog grooming facilities, a gardener's WC, three generous raised beds, and two sheds, providing excellent working and storage space. There is also lapsed planning permission to replace the current carport/garage with a new garage/outbuilding. The large, mature gardens have been meticulously managed, creating both a peaceful retreat and gardener's paradise. A stunning ornamental fishpond and separate wildlife pond, completes this unique property, blending history, charm and functionality. Toft Cottage benefits from a coveted rural position, set on New Pond Hill, in Cross in Hand, a sought-after village in the High Weald AONB. Toft's historical soul paired with its practical layout is ideal for those seeking a peaceful retreat or nature loving families, all in easy reach of excellent amenities and good transport links. A welcoming village atmosphere, Cross in Hand with a local shop, pub, and recreation ground, is nearby to Heathfield, with its wide range of shops, cafés, schools, and services. The larger towns of Uckfield, Tunbridge Wells, and Lewes are all within easy driving distance, offering further shopping, leisure, and cultural opportunities. For commuters, the area is well connected, with Buxted, Stonegate and Tunbridge Wells stations providing regular rail services to London. Road links are also convenient, with the A22 and A267 giving straightforward access to the coast, Gatwick Airport, and beyond. In short, Toft Cottage isn't just a home—it's a beautiful balance of heritage and versatility, nestled in one of East Sussex's most picturesque spots. Whether you adore period features, dream of tranquil gardens, or walking from the doorstep to enjoy the delights of the High Weald, this is the place that checks every box.
