A well proportioned surprisingly spacious Edwardian cottage set in a popular semi-rural location close to Ashdown Forest between Forest Row and Tunbridge Wells.

ROSE COTTAGE is an established cottage, believed to date originally from 1907, set in an attractive garden plot of one-third of an acre. Elevations are of colour-washed brick relieved with decorative hanging tiles beneath a clay tiled roof. All windows are double glazed and a gas fired central heating system is installed with radiators. The accommodation is presently set out with a first floor sitting or recreation room which may easily revert to bedroom use if required. The living area comprises entrance vestibule, sitting room, dining room, kitchen/breakfast room, study/hallway, utility room, cloakroom, four bedrooms, two bathrooms, bedroom five or first floor sitting room, double garage. There is a conservatory which enjoys an attractive aspect directly over the rear lawn. The garden is a particular feature of the property and extends to one-third of an acre (0.34). Our clients have been in residence for over thirty years and have paid particular attention to the garden, which is beautifully stocked and very well maintained.
