2 bed mews for sale

The Martlets, Hellingly, Hailsham BN27

AP Estate Agents are delighted to present this exceptional home, constructed just nine years ago and thoughtfully designed to reflect the charm and character of a traditional mews development. Arranged around an attractive central courtyard with brick-paved roads, weatherboarded façades and a welcoming sense of community, the setting is both picturesque and highly appealing. The property itself is something of a "Tardis". While attractive from the outside, it is only upon stepping inside that the true scale and quality of the accommodation becomes apparent. The light-filled interior offers generous, well-proportioned living spaces with a luxurious feel throughout, further enhanced by the immaculate décor and impeccable presentation. The current owner has clearly taken great pride in their home and has thoroughly enjoyed living here, creating a property that is ready to be enjoyed from day one. Beautifully maintained and presented to an exceptional standard, this is a truly turnkey home where a buyer can simply unpack, settle in and start enjoying everything it has to offer.
Location


It is always important to know where you will be living, and with this property you certainly won't regret your decision. The location offers a wonderful balance between countryside tranquillity and everyday convenience, making it easy to embrace an active outdoor lifestyle. The renowned Cuckoo Trail is quite literally on your doorstep, providing miles of traffic-free walking, cycling and riding routes through some of East Sussex's most attractive countryside. The surrounding landscape is characterised by open fields, rolling farmland and pockets of ancient woodland, creating a peaceful rural setting that can be enjoyed throughout the year.

Just a short distance away is Park Wood, a beautiful local woodland offering scenic walking routes and an abundance of wildlife. Virtually opposite The Martlets stands the impressive Horselunges Manor, a remarkable medieval property steeped in history. The manor achieved additional fame through its former ownership connection with Led Zeppelin's management and even features in one of the band's music videos.

Hellingly itself is a charming village centred around the Grade I Listed Church of St Peter and St Paul, parts of which are believed to date back to the 12th century. Rich in history and character, the village retains a strong sense of community whilst benefiting from excellent access to nearby amenities.

Although enjoying a semi-rural setting, day-to-day conveniences are never far away. The market town of Hailsham, located approximately 2 miles away, offers a comprehensive range of supermarkets, independent shops, cafés, restaurants and leisure facilities, as well as highly regarded schools and healthcare services. The town regularly hosts community events and markets, contributing to its friendly and welcoming atmosphere. For commuters, Polegate railway station, approximately 4 miles away, provides direct services to Eastbourne, Brighton, Lewes, Gatwick Airport and London Victoria. Eastbourne's seafront, marina and extensive shopping facilities are around 10 miles away, whilst the vibrant city of Brighton & Hove is approximately 24 miles distant. The historic coastal town of Hastings can be reached in around 18 miles, and Gatwick Airport is approximately 40 miles away, making domestic and international travel readily accessible.
Inside the property


A practical entrance porch provides the perfect space for coats, shoes and everyday essentials. Glazed panels to either side allow natural light to flood in, creating a bright and welcoming first impression from the moment you arrive. Stepping inside, the property immediately opens into the stylish kitchen, where high-gloss white floor tiles flow seamlessly through to the living area, enhancing the sense of space and continuity. Combined with contemporary recessed spotlights reflecting from the polished surfaces, the room enjoys a sleek and luxurious feel. The kitchen has been beautifully appointed with fashionable grey cabinetry complemented by sparkling granite worktops and matching upstands. A comprehensive range of cupboards, drawers and wall-mounted units provide excellent storage, whilst integrated appliances include a dishwasher, washing machine, electric oven and hob, ensuring the kitchen is as practical as it is attractive. Further enhancing the ground floor is a generous understairs storage cupboard, ideal for larger household items, together with a cloakroom fitted with a concealed-cistern WC and wash hand basin. Comfort is assured throughout the ground floor thanks to the benefit of underfloor heating, a feature that not only creates a clean and uncluttered finish but is particularly welcoming during the colder months. One of the property's greatest strengths is the versatility of its accommodation. The additional reception room positioned to the front of the house offers a wealth of possibilities and could comfortably serve as a dining room, home office, children's playroom or even a third bedroom if required. Coupled with the convenience of the ground floor cloakroom, it also presents an attractive option for those seeking predominantly ground floor living. Whatever your requirements may be, this adaptable space allows the property to evolve alongside your lifestyle. Continuing through the property and beyond the staircase, the impressive living room reveals just how deceptively spacious this home truly is. The room benefits from a dramatic vaulted ceiling which creates a wonderful sense of volume and light, while two sets of double-glazed doors, complete with integrated blinds, open directly onto the garden, effortlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. Offering an abundance of floor space, the room easily accommodates a variety of furniture layouts. The current owner has created an attractive media and entertainment wall, although the generous proportions provide complete freedom for a new owner to tailor the space to their own style and requirements. The result is a wonderfully sociable and inviting room that is equally suited to relaxed evenings at home or entertaining family and friends.
Upstairs


The first floor is accessed via stairs rising from the kitchen, leading to a central landing that serves both bedrooms and the family bathroom. Bedroom One is a generously sized double room featuring a dormer window overlooking the rear garden. A particular advantage is the private en-suite shower room, which is beautifully finished with full-height tiling and comprises a walk-in shower enclosure, low-level WC, wall-mounted wash basin with storage drawer beneath, and a heated chrome towel rail. A Velux window allows plenty of natural light to flood the space. Bedroom Two is another excellent-sized double bedroom, enhanced by a dormer window enjoying views over the front of the property. Positioned across the landing, the family bathroom is finished in stylish contemporary grey tiling, complemented by a contrasting white suite comprising a panelled bath, low-level WC and wall-mounted wash basin with storage drawer below. A heated chrome towel rail and Velux window complete the room, creating a bright and modern space. Further enhancing the quality of the accommodation, all internal doors are high-quality painted finishes, contributing to the home's premium feel and immaculate presentation throughout. Access to the loft is available from the landing, and we are advised that the loft space is partially boarded, providing useful additional storage.
Outside


The property is approached via a double-width driveway providing off-road parking for two vehicles. Attractive from the outset, the property enjoys excellent kerb appeal, with a charming cottage-style feel. To the rear, the beautifully landscaped garden has been thoughtfully improved and now offers an incredibly private and tranquil setting. A new rear fence and gate have been installed, while an impressive variety of mature plants, shrubs, and specimen trees create interest, colour, and texture throughout the seasons. The carefully established planting also provides natural screening, enhancing the sense of peace and seclusion. Designed with both relaxation and entertaining in mind, the garden features patio seating areas adjoining the property and at the far end of the garden, accessed via attractive steps. During the warmer months, the mature trees offer welcome shade, creating the perfect environment for al fresco dining and outdoor gatherings. With doors opening directly from the sitting room, the indoor and outdoor spaces connect effortlessly. Alternatively, this is a wonderful place to simply unwind and enjoy the peace, privacy, and slower pace of life that this sought-after semi-rural setting provides.
