Welcome to Wisteria Cottage...

If you re looking for a gorgeous character cottage in the heart of a thriving village, then look no further than the wonderful Wisteria Cottage in Newick, Sussex. This fabulous home is believed to date from 1850 and sits in the Newick Conservation Area. It is beautifully presented and offers the perfect mix of sympathetic period charm and modern high spec finishes with over 1,700 sq ft of generous accommodation.

It is rare to find a cottage that offers a cosy feel but with spacious room dimensions but that is exactly the vibe Wisteria Cottage offers, having been sympathetically extended to the rear around 2006.

A Warm Welcome

The tone is set as you come through the front door and into the reception hall/drawing room/dining room with the oak floors and wood-burning stove with bespoke joinery & shelving either side for books. To the left of the hall is the inviting sitting room which at under 19ft is a generously sized room but this doesn t compromise on cosiness with an impressive open fireplace that is perfect for a chilly winter s evening. The oak floors continue in this room, beautiful bespoke joinery for your books and a door that leads out to the garden. The dual aspect means there is plenty of natural light also a delightful room.

Country Kitchen

To the rear of the house is the kitchen/diner. This room oozes quality with bespoke hand-built, shaker style units under opulent marble worksurfaces. The central island has wooden worktops and is a natural spot for the family to gather around. The Brittania Range cooker is great for any keen cook with a 6 ring gas hob and griddle. There is an impressive larder cupboard offering superb storage for cereals, spices, jars and bottles and space for a fridge/freezer. The tiled flooring is sympathetic to the character of the house and French doors open on the garden.

The cellar has been converted into a separate utility room with a range of units and space for the washing machine & tumble dryer. This is a really handy space and it s great to hide away the noisier appliances. There is also a separate cloakroom/WC on the ground floor.

Bath & Bed

On the first floor you have four good size bedrooms and two bath/shower rooms. The main bedroom is positioned at the rear of the house resulting in a pleasing outlook over the garden. There is a modern en-suite shower room that is fully tiled with a heated towel rail and the bedroom has two fitted wardrobes.

The second and third bedrooms are equisized. The fourth bedroom is a good size single room (although currently used as a dressing room and fitted with extensive bespoke wardrobes) and each is served by the contemporary family bathroom with bathtub and separate walk-in shower.

Off the landing, stairs lead to a really handy 'attic room' with window and skylight.

The house has gas fired central heating with new boiler and updated pipework and is fully double glazed. The electrics have also been upgraded including a new consumer unit. There is ultrafast broadband available in the area with up to 1000 mbps download, very handy for those who work from home. The

Step Outside...

In total, the plot extends to 0.12 acres and the rear garden is a real outside oasis. A paved terrace lies off the kitchen with steps leading down to a further terrace that is a delightful spot for al-fresco dining, sitting adjacent to an ornamental fish pond.

The remainder of the garden is laid mainly to lawn with a meandering brick pathway leading to a secluded spot with garden store, space for a trampoline or climbing frame.

The garden is well-stocked and enjoys a range of specimen trees including mature apple trees, maple and cherry blossom that is stunning when in bloom in the spring. On both sides you are bordered mature hedging and close-boarded fencing.

To the front the house is set back from the road behind a small front garden with mature hedging providing screening.
