" A cottage style detached house situated on a near one acre overall plot including a 0.6 acre field behind. The gardens are quite stunning and there are simply outstanding uninterrupted panoramic countryside views towards Brightling Needle at the rear.

The accommodation is currently arranged as three bedrooms, two bathrooms, three reception rooms, sun lounge, fitted kitchen and utility room. The property retains a great deal of character with polished wood floors, oak joinery and a feature fireplace but has a modern kitchen, gas central heating and is substantially double glazed.

The Location
The hamlet of Burwash Weald is situated on the A265 about 5 miles east of Heathfield and 2 miles west of Burwash, and sits within the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Batemans, the 17th century Jacobean house that was formerly the home of Rudyard Kipling, is situated on the outskirts of Burwash.

There are local shopping facilities, churches, primary schools and public houses in the immediate area whilst Heathfield has two supermarkets, a wide range of shops, library, banks, secondary school and leisure centre with swimming pool.

The nearest rail stations are at Etchingham

(4 miles) and Stonegate (3.5 miles) both on the Charing Cross/Cannon Street Line.

The Property
Marling is understood to have been built in around 1932 in a typical Sussex style with primarily brick elevations relieved by upper tile hanging, under a tiled roof. The immediate area of formal garden is around one third of an acre but the field at the rear, which is held under a separate title and amounts to circa 0.6 acre, is included in the sale.

The stunning gardens have been lovingly created and maintained by our clients and are a riot of colour. In 2004 they won the Burwash in Bloom competition. An early inspection is highly recommended to appreciate the gardens and the circa 180 degree uninterrupted panoramic view from them, encompassing a patchwork of fields and woodlands with Brightling Needle in the distance.
