Tucked away in a secluded position in Hastings, this former workman’s cottage has been part of one family’s story for many decades. Now it is ready for its next custodian - someone who can bring it up to date while keeping the character and sense of history that make it feel like a proper home.
The house has an easy, practical shape to it. The living room gives you somewhere comfortable to settle at the end of the day, while the separate dining room creates space for everyday meals, longer lunches and evenings with friends. The kitchen sits alongside these rooms, making the downstairs feel connected without everything becoming one open space. There is also a downstairs shower room, useful for busy mornings and muddy walks home.
Upstairs are two bedrooms, with the proportions and feel you would expect from a period cottage rather than a modern box. There is enough flexibility here for a main bedroom and second bedroom, a home office for working from home, or a room that can change as life does.
Outside, the private front and rear gardens add another layer to the house. The rear garden is particularly useful as a quiet place to sit with a morning coffee, make the most of a summer evening or give children somewhere to play. Its tucked-away position adds to the feeling that, despite being in Hastings, you have a little pocket of your own.
The surrounding area keeps daily life straightforward. Local bus routes are close by, along with shops and well-regarded local schools, so much of what you need is within easy reach. It is the sort of location where the practical parts of the week can be handled without losing the feeling of coming home to somewhere private and peaceful.
There is also something appealing about taking on a house with a story already behind it. This cottage has been lived in and loved by the same family for many years; its next chapter will be about making the space work for a new generation, adding your own touches and creating memories of your own.
There is plenty of scope to extend subject to usual planning permission,
