SITUATION: The village of Blackboys is set in Sussex countryside bordering the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. In the 16th century Blackboys was at the heart of southeast England's very successful charcoal and iron production, hence the name.
Situated in the centre of the village is Blackboys Primary School, a high achieving school. The Blackboys Inn is recognised as one of the prettiest pubs in the area. Blackboys is also home to The Cow Shed Cafe, Tickerage vineyard, The Sussex Flower School, an arts studio, a beauty room, Three Acre craft brewery, a cricket club and the village hall, situated just by the allotments (plots available).
The surrounding East Sussex countryside has many picturesque villages and vast open spaces, including the Ashdown Forest and the South Downs National Park, both offering miles of footpaths, bridleways and stunning views across the Sussex countryside, perfect for walking, cycling and horse riding. Long-distance footpaths, the Wealdway and The Vanguard Way, pass close by Bakery Cottage. For golfers there are seven impressive golf courses, locally. Glyndebourne, home to the world-class Glyndebourne opera, is nearby. Lewes, the county town, is 11 miles away and the Sussex coastline can be reached in 30 minutes. Buses run hourly to Uckfield, Lewes and Brighton.
DESCRIPTION: A most charming semi-detached cottage, having accommodation arranged over three floors and located within this sought-after village.
The comfortable sitting/dining room has an open fireplace and a double aspect, with doors opening onto the rear garden. The kitchen is fitted with white-fronted units and timber work surfaces. There is a larder and plumbing for a washing machine. The kitchen window overlooks the main garden.
On the first floor are three bedrooms (one currently used as a study) and a family bathroom. A further staircase rises to two attic bedrooms. Commensurate with a cottage property of this style there are restricted ceiling heights to the first and second floor.
The property has a small, wrap-around, easily maintained garden. The garden provides a much-loved escape for the current owners. Lush planting creates a sense of seclusion in a little suntrap. Off road parking for two vehicles.
