Description

Situated in a lovely rural setting on the northern edge of the popular village of Lindfield, 2 Stone Barn Cottages is an attractive mid-terrace red brick cottage in a lovely location: rural and yet not isolated, set down a private farm track with just a handful of neighbouring properties and wonderful countryside views. The cottage is in need of updating and refurbishment throughout, but offers a new owner enormous scope for improvement and extension (subject to the necessary consents).

The front door opens to an entrance porch, from which an inner door leads to the hall where stairs rise to the first floor. There are two reception rooms either side of the hall, both with brick open fireplaces, one set with a woodburner. The kitchen lies at the back of the cottage, together with a ground floor shower room with WC, a walk-in larder, and a boot room which has a cupboard with space for laundry appliances. There are three bedrooms on the first floor, all with built in storage; the two bedrooms at the front of the house with cast iron feature fireplaces.   

2 Stone Barn Cottages has two unmarked private parking spaces lying to the east of the property (please refer to the site plan). A pathway leads from the parking area to the front of the cottages, a short pathway crosses the front lawn and leads to the front door. The rear garden is of particular note, extending in length to about 140 feet, mainly laid to level lawn, enclosed by a combination of close-board and post and rail fencing and with some lovely views over adjoining farmland to the rear.

In all, about 0.12 of an acre.
