3 bed detached house for sale

Sandy Cross Lane, Sandy Cross, Heathfield, East Sussex TN21

An attractive, Sussex-style, tile-hung detached home offering three bedrooms and set within an established, semi-rural cluster of period cottages. Enjoying an elevated position, the property benefits from far-reaching countryside views extending towards the coast. Although built little over 30 years ago, Thistle Cottage combines the advantages of a modern home with the charm of a tucked-away setting, accessed via a private drive off Sandy Cross Lane.
The surrounding area provides abundant opportunities for rural walks, ideal for both keen walkers and dog owners with the villages of Rushlake Green, Vines Cross and Old Heathfield, each with their traditional country pubs, all close by.
Well presented and deceptively spacious, the accommodation includes an open-plan sitting and dining room leading into a conservatory, a recently refitted kitchen, downstairs cloakroom, three bedrooms and two bathrooms. To the rear, the property enjoys attractive, secluded gardens with lovely outlooks. Additional benefits include gas-fired central heating, double glazing and a substantial loft space offering excellent potential for conversion into a principal suite (subject to the necessary consents).
To the front, a gravel driveway provides parking for two vehicles and leads to an integral garage, which could also be adapted to create further living accommodation if desired. Gated side access leads to a charming rear cottage style garden offering a high degree of privacy, incorporating a patio terrace and lawned area.

Situated towards the end of a private driveway in Sandy Cross, moments away from central Heathfield's amenities, there is no shortage of supermarkets & eateries and enjoyable walks along the surrounding countryside & cuckoo trail. The area is well served with schooling for all age groups. Train stations at both Buxted and Stonegate are approximately 6 miles distant, both providing a service of trains to London. The Spa town of Royal Tunbridge Wells with its excellent shopping, leisure and grammar schools is only approx 16 miles distant with the larger coastal towns of both Brighton and Eastbourne being reached within approximately 45 and 35 minutes drive respectively.
