Phil Hall Estate Agents brings to the market this truly delightful two-bedroom detached cottage, enviably positioned in the peaceful and sought-after setting of Wish Hill. Full of charm and character, this unique home enjoys a tucked-away position along a quaint twitten, offering a wonderful sense of privacy and seclusion while still being conveniently close to local amenities. The property is ideally located for access to scenic walks at Butts Brow, nearby public houses, and the independent shops along Church Street, with Eastbourne town centre and excellent transport links just a short drive away.

From the outset, the cottage makes an immediate impression with its attractive arched front door, classic leaded light windows, and beautifully established gardens that completely surround the home. These features combine to create a property that feels both welcoming and full of personality.

Upon entering, you are greeted by a well-proportioned entrance hall that provides access to the ground floor accommodation, along with stairs rising to the first floor. The principal reception room is situated to the left and is a particularly inviting space, generous in size and filled with natural light. A beautiful open fireplace forms the focal point of the room, adding warmth and character, whilst leading through to a stunning triple-aspect conservatory. This additional reception space enjoys panoramic views over the gardens and offers a versatile area for relaxing, dining, or entertaining throughout the seasons.

The separate kitchen is fitted with a range of wall-mounted and matching base units with work surfaces over. The kitchen is well-equipped with a built-in oven and a four-ring gas hob with extractor hood above, and provides a practical and functional space for everyday living. Leading off the kitchen is a rear hall, which offers space for a fridge freezer and provides an additional access point to the garden - ideal for day-to-day convenience.

The ground floor is further complemented by a modern shower room, fitted with a stylish three-piece suite. This space has been thoughtfully arranged to include an allocated area for a washing machine, with room for a tumble dryer above if required, ensuring practicality without compromising on style.

Ascending to the first floor, the property continues to impress with its adaptable layout. Originally designed as two double bedrooms, the current configuration has been modified to incorporate an additional upstairs shower room, resulting in a slightly smaller second bedroom. This flexible arrangement allows for a variety of potential uses, and could easily be reconfigured by a new owner-either reverting to two larger bedrooms or adjusting the shower room to create a more compact ensuite or cloakroom.

The principal bedroom is a generous and peaceful retreat, benefitting from ample built-in storage and pleasant outlooks. The upstairs shower room is fitted with a contemporary three-piece suite, providing additional convenience and enhancing the home’s overall functionality.
