1 bed semi-detached house to rent

Colemans Hatch, Hartfield TN7

Property Reference: 1478252.

Located 100m up an unpaved track with direct access to Ashdown Forest, Gatehouse Cottage is ideal for you if you're looking for a countryside haven that's just 3 minutes' drive from the nearest shops in Forest Row, 10 minutes' walk from the Hatch Inn pub, and just an hour's commute to London Victoria from nearby East Grinstead station.

Refurbished over the summer, Gatehouse Cottage is a character-filled sandstone-fronted single storey home with south-facing bow windows. It has a double bedroom with plenty of space for clothes storage and a desk.

The living room has solid oak floors, and a wood-burning stove. Fully double-glazed two years ago, and well insulated, including excellent roof insulation and a super-insulating sandstone wall in the bedroom, in the recent heatwaves it was routinely 10 degrees cooler than outdoors - which also makes it cosy in winter.

The kitchen includes a brand new induction-hob electric cooker and a brand new fridge, alongside the solid wood kitchen and oak flooring. The shower room is newly refitted and decorated.

High-speed fibre broadband makes Teams calls easy, despite your rural location.

Gatehouse Cottage has a beautiful south-facing low-maintenance courtyard garden with a bistro table and chairs to enjoy coffee in the sunshine, a flower bed with established lavender and space for your own favourites, established shrubs, a white rambling rose and mature grapevines, overlooked by old oak trees. And you have direct access straight onto the ancient part of Ashdown Forest, with road-free walking routes to Forest Row and local landmarks.

There's a private driveway for three cars, plus a stone-built, insulated storage room with plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer.

The property is heated by a high-efficiency oil boiler (metered and paid at cost to the landlord, so no tank for you to remember to fill), and the wood-burning stove, which gets the cottage feeling toasty in minutes. Hot water is instant at the shower, and the kitchen and shower room taps run from a 20-litre mini-tank that only heats what you use, so you're not paying to heat 200 litres a day and watch most of it go cold.

Council tax is band A and the EPC is a D, with oil central heating typically costing around £60 per month in winter 2025. Available from 19 September, subject to referencing.
