4 bed detached bungalow for sale

Fourteen Acre Lane, Three Oaks, Hastings TN35

Enjoying a peaceful setting along a country lane in three oaks village, this substantial four-bedroom detached bungalow combines flexible accommodation with an established garden and lovely views across the surrounding countryside. PCM Estate Agents are delighted to offer this extensively extended home, which occupies a plot of approximately A quarter of an acre and has been much improved by its present owners.

The generous kitchen-dining room provides a natural gathering place within the home, with plenty of space for family meals and entertaining. Shaker-style cabinets, integrated appliances and a range-style cooker are complemented by bi-folding doors to the garden, opening the room onto the rear terrace. An adjoining utility room keeps laundry facilities and additional storage conveniently separate.

For quieter moments, the dual-aspect living room extends to over 21ft and centres around an exposed brick fireplace with a wood-burning stove. The entrance porch and spacious reception hall provide a welcoming introduction to the accommodation.

Four bedrooms offer considerable flexibility. One particularly impressive room measures over 20ft, enjoys countryside views and has french doors onto the rear terrace. Equally suited to use as a further reception room, it allows buyers to adapt the layout around their own requirements. The remaining bedrooms are served by a stylish bathroom with a bath and rainfall shower over.

Outside, the west-facing rear garden makes the most of its rural outlook. Established planting frames the lawn, while an Indian sandstone terrace and a raised deck with a pergola offer a choice of places to sit, dine and entertain. An enclosed kitchen garden with raised beds will appeal to those who enjoy growing their own, with a raised fish pond and further seating area adding interest to the grounds.

A gated in-and-out driveway provides ample off-road parking, and the garage/workshop with an adjoining office offers useful space for storage, hobbies or working from home.

The village lies approximately five miles north of Hastings, with Rye also within a short drive for a wider choice of shops and leisure facilities. Countryside walks are readily accessible, while Three Oaks railway station and the village pub serving food are approximately one mile from the property.
Viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the space, versatility and countryside setting. Contact PCM Estate Agents to arrange your visit.
