3 bed cottage for sale

Main Street, Northiam, East Sussex TN31

Set in the heart of Northiam village, within the parish of Rye, this characterful Grade II listed former butcher’s shop has been thoughtfully extended by the current owner to create a surprisingly spacious and versatile home.

Retaining its historic shopfront and original character, the property opens out towards the rear to provide three bedrooms, two reception rooms and a charming garden room, which leads onto a terrace and a lawned garden. The mature garden is complemented by established trees, a useful storage shed and a workshop, which could also offer potential as a studio or home office.

From the first floor, there are views towards St Mary’s Church, while the property enjoys an enviable position opposite the village green and war memorial. It is also conveniently situated close to Northiam’s popular doctors’ surgery.
