Property description

This is the ideal opportunity to own what is simply an amazing character property in the heart of the countryside as well as a genuine piece of Sussex history.

This large cottage has been extended over the years and offers a superb mix of rural life but with the convenience of village living (there’s a very active village to enjoy just a short distance by foot) with open countryside to all sides. The property itself is tucked away, so once on the lane, it’s difficult to see, giving it a very secluded and uniquely private feel. Due to the age of the cottage you’d be forgiven for believing the accommodation to be small, however over the years the property has benefited from extensions and improvements all of which have culminated in a truly spectacular family home with many wonderful bright and spacious rooms to explore.

In terms of history, we know for sure that the property was once lived in by the film star ‘Dirk Bogard’ and it’s easy to see the appeal for someone looking to get away from it all and relax. The cottage is set amongst mature grounds with fruit trees and a vegetable plot in an exceptionally tranquil setting, so in summary, if you’re looking for a charming home that combines picture postcard looks with practical dimensions any couple or family could require, then look no further. This is a quite remarkable home which will impress and delight for years to come.

What the Owner says:

Winton Street is an ancient hamlet on the edge of Alfriston Village. We enjoy stunning views of the South Downs and Cuckmere Valley and yet we are only 5 mins walk from Alfriston Village and 5 mins drive to the station to access London, Brighton, Seaford and Eastbourne.
Alfriston has a Primary School, pre school, pubs, cafes and a brilliant shop with post office and deli.
You can join in with the Village if you wish, take a wander over the hills, sit in the peaceful garden with a glass of wine in the summer or curl up with a hot chocolate in front of the wood burner in winter.
