3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Sparrows Green, Wadhurst TN5

Vendor Suited - If you love character but are nervous about buying an older property, then look no further – this semi-detached house has the charm of a period cottage yet was only built in the 90s and is conveniently located close to the shops and schools yet set back from the road with off-road parking and rear garden. EPC: C

Designed in keeping with the traditional tile-hung cottages of the area, this semi-detached house was built in 1993, yet you could mistake it for a much older property as it has period features such as beamed ceilings, an inglenook fireplace and drop-latch doors. You get the benefits of it being a more modern house in terms of good energy efficiency, double glazing, mains gas central heating, as well as recent cosmetic updates.

Key features include:

- A country-style kitchen with granite worktops including an integrated dishwasher and space for a freestanding electric cooker and tall fridge freezer;

- The kitchen is open plan to the dining area, with a wide opening through to the living room as well;

- The living room features an inglenook-style brick fireplace with bressummer beam, housing a woodburning stove on a stone hearth;

- Adjacent to the living room is a sunroom with doors out to the rear garden;

- There is recently installed wood-effect lvt flooring throughout much of the ground floor;

- There is a ground floor WC and a large cupboard under the stairs with space/plumbing for a washing machine;

- The main bedroom has an outlook over the garden and a view down over fields and woodland to the rear. There is the exposed mellow bricks of the chimney breast on one wall and built-in wardrobe/shelving;

- The two other bedrooms on the first floor are more comfortably single bedrooms or, if not required as bedrooms, would make excellent rooms for a study, dressing room and/or hobby room;

- The bathroom has recently been updated and has a bath and separate shower cubicle;

- The top floor offers effectively another room although due to the access being a fixed ladder rather than a staircase, building regs would not class this as accommodation. Nevertheless the room is large and currently accommodates a spare bed and fixed worktop so is ideal for an office as well;

- There is also access to a boarded loft space off the second floor, as well as eaves access for storage.

Externally, the house is accessed via a shared gravel driveway with next door. There is space to park in front of the house. There is access down the side of the house to the rear garden.
