Description: The Bungalow is a detached bungalow located at the end of a private farm road that is accessed off Sea Road, approximately 0.5 miles from the centre of Winchelsea and approximately 1 mile from the centre of Winchelsea Beach and the coastline. The property is within 2.5 miles of Rye with its range of shops, restaurants, pubs, schools, sports facilities and transport links with access to London in 1 hour 08 minutes.
The property we understand was built back in the 1970's and was then extended during the 1980's and 1990's. The property is of stone construction with aluminium double glazed windows, beneath various low pitched slate tiled roofs.
The property has off street parking in front of its detached double garage and further parking on the opposite side of the property in front of a cast iron picket gate that opens into the garden with paths leading to the front and rear doors of the property.
The property has a central front door that opens into a generous entrance hallway, off which is main living room with double aspect windows including sliding glazed doors at the rear and stone wall features with large fireplace situated at one end with wood burner. A kitchen is accessed at the dining area end of the living room with double aspect windows, pine shaker style units with laminate worktops with stainless steel sink, ceramic hob with electric grill above, electric oven, under counter fridge and space and plumbing for a dishwasher and washing machine. A corridor leads from the kitchen to a principal bedroom with double aspect windows including sliding glazed doors out to the garden and built in wardrobes. In between the bedroom and the kitchen is a family bathroom with panel bath, walk in corner shower, pedestal wash basin and close coupled WC. There are two further double bedrooms that are accessed off the entrance hall both with built in wardrobes, and one benefiting from an ensuite shower room /WC and the third bedroom also benefiting from an ensuite bathroom /WC.
Externally the property benefits from being enclosed by a stone perimeter wall on three side sides and a new panel fence on the fourth side that surrounds the wrap around garden that also benefits from a paved path that surrounds the house. To the northwest of the bungalow connected by a paved seating area and path is a stone and block constructed double garage with a pitched felt roof, double aspect windows, rear pedestrian glazed door and at the front two up and over garage doors (one fitted with an electric door system). Adjacent to the double garage is a timber frame workshop with a low pitched felt roof and storeroom with windows either end providing further storage and beyond this a timber frame potting shed / green house with glazed sides and a plastic transparent roof.
A further metal frame greenhouse can also be found in the enclosed garden that is laid to lawn and is divided up by hedging and various planted fruit trees.
On the opposite side of the entrance track is a predominantly square shaped second block of land of 0.8 acres that is accessed via a five-bar picket gate that enters into a predominantly pasture block of land that is wire stock fenced and which has been divided into four smaller paddocks with tree screening on the south western side of the block. There are a number of single storey sheds that historically look like they have been used as dog kennels, food store and perhaps animal shelters.
Agents Note: We have noted that the property backs onto the farmyard and farm sheds of Castle Farm which are predominantly used as a sheep farm.
