Sunnyview is situated off New Road in Ridgewood
which is essentially a suburb of the town of Uckfield and is only about a mile from the town centre. New Road runs between the Eastbourne Road and Lewes Road which gives easy access to the main A22 and A26 roads.

The property comprises a detached period cottage which sits in approximately 3.77 acres of gardens and paddocks which is naturally bounded by trees and hedging. There is a good-sized area to the entrance of the property - which served as a commercial yard for storage of coal - and this leads onto the house and garaging which sits fairly centrally within the plot of land. The house has been extended over time and now provides nearly 1700 sq. ft. of accommodation over two floors with 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 reception rooms, a conservatory, kitchen/breakfast room and a utility room.
Outside there is an electronically operated gate just off New Road which gives access to the former commercial yard area and then the driveway runs on down to the house and land. There is a detached, double garage and storage shed towards the front of the house and a further
storage shed in the garden. The land lies
predominantly to the south of the house and yard
area as outlined on the attached title plan. There
is hardstanding for parking and attractive gardens
around the house itself.

As per UCK4 on the map extract from Wealden
District Council’s Draft Local Plan on page 4
