Manchester Road, Ninfield, TN33

Lime Tree Cottage is an interesting and attractive period cottage believed to date from approximately 1800 and is Grade II listed for its historic and architectural merit.  A spacious entrance porch leads to the reception room which enjoys high ceilings and is centered around an impressive fireplace with log burner.  The kitchen has ample storage, a Rayburn and is plenty big enough for a breakfast table.  A wide staircase leads to the first floor where there are two generous bedrooms with exposed timbers and a well presented family bathroom.  Externally the property has established gardens to both the front and rear as well as parking for 2-3 cars and a timber garage/workshop which has power and light.  The property occupies a central location in the popular village of Ninfield which has a shop with post office, two public houses and a convenience store, as well as a doctors surgery and a primary school.  A more comprehensive range of amenities can be found a short drive away in nearby Battle which also has a mainline station with regular services to London Charing Cross.  The property also falls within the Claverham catchment area and nearby Bexhill is also well served for high street and independent shops and extensive recreation facilities.
