Located in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and situated on a most enviable elevated position enjoying far-reaching views, is this attractive detached period property and generous plot of approximately 7 acres, with established award winning southerly aspect private gardens, paddocks, three of which having direct access to neighbouring bridle paths, and equestrian and livestock facilities.

Situated at the end of Telham Lane, Hillside Cottage is conveniently located a short distance from Battle town centre, Crowhurst and Battle train stations, and the beaches at Hastings, St. Leonards and Bexhill, and has a number of excellent private and state schools within easy reach.

Sympathetically and smartly designed to take full advantage of the beautiful views and countryside, Hillside Cottage has been extended and updated by the current vendors and provides flexible accommodation with split-levels and benefits from current planning permission to enhance further.

The accommodation comprises of a primary bedroom with fitted wardrobes and a Juliette balcony overlooking the gardens, bathroom, a further three double bedrooms, and a fabulous modern family bathroom with separate shower and Juliette balcony.

Leading from the ground floor entrance hall is a formal triple aspect 24ft. reception room with high ceilings with decorative ceiling roses and coving, a feature fireplace with a multi-fuel burner and double French doors which lead out to the rear garden, family room, cloakroom and stairs down to garden level.

The kitchen/breakfast room and adjoining dining room are on the garden level, with full height windows in the breakfast area taking full advantage of the garden views. The beautifully appointed and updated kitchen has an abundance of modern floor and wall mounted storage cabinets, Neff integrated appliances, a Rayburn double oven range and hot water/heating system, space for white goods, and space for table and chairs in the breakfast room.

The property is approached via an ‘in and out’ driveway and leads to a parking area, detached garage, and path to the gated gardens.

Arranged over a gradual slope, the secluded south facing well-stocked gardens include herbaceous borders, rhododendrons, azaleas, specialist trees, and terraced areas of lawns and wooded summerhouse/home office. Further outbuildings include three stables and storage barn, and a large chain linked chicken run and house. The paddocks all have a supply of water and are stock proof fenced.

History

We understand that Hillside Cottage was built for use as a Quaker prayer meeting house circa. 1905, and was later extended by the current vendor; however, the the paddocks are of historical importance, including the possible encampment of William the Conqueror’s invading army in 1066 and other military staging posts, with further reference made to the adjacent fields, the Battle Abbey, and the Napoleonic Wars.
