2 bed semi-detached house for sale

Standard Hill, Ninfield TN33

Ivy Cottage is an attractive semi-detached character property that presents an attractive double fronted weatherboarded elevations below a catslide roof to the rear. Although the property dates back to the 18th Century and retains much of its character, it has remained unlisted giving it further potential to enhance and reconfigure. There is a large living room with an inglenook fireplace and a kitchen/breakfast/utility room, downstairs bath/shower room and an additional reception room that could be used as a dining room, office or third bedroom. There are two further bedrooms to the first floor. Outside the property enjoys established well stocked gardens with a duck pond and there are far reaching views across rolling countryside towards the South Downs from many of the rooms. There is a private driveway with a large barn (now in need of repair) that offers valuable storage and is considered to offer further potential subject to planning. The property is situated on the outskirts of the popular village of Ninfield offering a doctor's surgery, primary school, popular public house, general store and post office and a more comprehensive range of amenities can be found at nearby Battle with a High Street full of independently owned shops, Jempsons local supermarket, dentists, doctors and the highly regarded Claverham School as well as the mainline station with regular services to London Charing Cross. The area is very well served for country walks and an extensive range of recreational facilities. Viewing is highly recommended.
