3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Three Cups, Heathfield TN21

Discover this beautifully presented three-bedroom semi-detached cottage, a charming late 1800s property that thoughtfully combines the original two-bedroom cottage with a sympathetic barn conversion, nestled in the delightful hamlet of Three Cups, near Rushlake Green.

The impressive lounge, forming part of the barn conversion and linked to the original cottage via an inviting entrance hall, immediately captivates with its high, vaulted ceiling and generous proportions with feature log burner. Double doors open directly onto the south-facing garden, bathing the room in natural light, while a large wood-burning stove provides a focal point for cosy evenings. A versatile mezzanine level above offers an ideal space for a third bedroom or a dedicated home office. Thoughtfully integrated behind the lounge, a convenient kitchenette and a downstairs shower room with a large walk-in shower provide excellent self-contained living options, perfect for an annexe or holiday let.

Continuing into the original cottage, a flexible reception hall leads to a downstairs WC and the inviting kitchen/diner. Double doors open into the bright, south-facing kitchen/diner, which features ample storage units, warm wooden worktops, an inset sink unit, and an lpg gas hob with an integrated electric oven. There is also space for both a washing machine and a dishwasher, making this a highly practical and sociable space.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom is a spacious double room boasting a partially vaulted ceiling with Velux windows, and a Juliet balcony offering partial distant views of the South Downs and a pleasant leafy outlook. The second bedroom, located at the front of the property, retains its period charm with a decorative fireplace and generous space for wardrobes. Both bedrooms share access to a well-appointed Jack-and-Jill bathroom, which includes a large shower, a charming clawfoot bath with a handheld shower attachment, a pedestal wash basin, WC, and a heated towel rail. The property also offers potential for a loft conversion (subject to planning permission).

The south-facing garden is a true highlight, featuring a large sandstone patio that spans the width of the property, creating an ideal space for outdoor entertaining and alfresco dining.
