A Hidden Gem in the Heart of Piltdown

A Rare Opportunity Chain-Free First Time on the Market in Over 40 Years

A True One-Off

Tucked away in one of East Sussex s most peaceful and picturesque hamlets, this charming, detached home is a blank canvas brimming with potential. Coming to the market chain-free for the first time in over four decades, properties like this in Piltdown are exceedingly rare -and for good reason. Once discovered, few wish to leave.

From the moment you step through the side entrance into the kitchen, with its warm hard floors and practical storage, there s an inviting sense of space and character. This is a home waiting for someone to shape it into their own vision, whether that s a cosy countryside escape or an inspiring artist s retreat. With scope for extension (subject to the usual planning permissions), the possibilities here are as vast as the views.

Space to Breathe Inside and Out

Downstairs offers a thoughtful flow:

A ground-floor bedroom with views of the garden

A hallway housing a water tank cupboard

A bathroom complete with a corner bath and freestanding shower

A sitting room with a double aspect, brick-surround fireplace, and hard flooring

A sunny conservatory that opens out through double doors into the enchanting garden

Upstairs, the open-plan vaulted loft room is a delight. Flooded with light and blessed with breathtaking rural views, it includes its own en suite w/c and sink. The ambience is perfect for creatives -painters, writers, and thinkers alike.

A Garden With Stories to Tell

Outside, the wraparound garden is a gentle blend of mature trees and open space. The beautiful Catalpa tree (Indian bean tree) stands as a natural centrepiece, and a small pond adds a quiet sense of tranquillity.
