Nestled in the South Downs National Park, this 17th-century thatched cottage is a charming and historic home that whispers of centuries past. The Grade II listed property boasts authentic character and charm, with oak beams reclaimed from old ships, leaded windows, and stone walls that have stood for generations. The cottage is surrounded by wraparound gardens, where birdsong fills the air and roses climb along stone walls. Inside, the drawing room is a grand space with a vast inglenook fireplace, perfect for gathering or entertaining. The property has been sensitively updated to include a kitchen, dining room, snug, and family bathroom, while still maintaining its original character. The three bedrooms upstairs are intimate retreats with views over the gardens. The cottage also offers scope for sympathetic restoration and has plenty of potential for the right buyer. Located in the picturesque village of Alfriston, the property is close to the South Downs, Seven Sisters Country Park, and other local attractions, making it the perfect combination of country living and village community.
