A charming Grade II Listed semi-detached double-fronted character cottage with a beautiful garden in a desirable village within the South Downs National Park

Honeysets is a delightful period home, combining traditional charm with contemporary styling and offering approximately 800 sq ft of thoughtfully modernised accommodation. The property retains a wealth of character, including sash windows, exposed brickwork and a distinctive brick and flint rear elevation. The ground floor is entered directly into a well-proportioned sitting room, featuring a wood-burning stove set within an attractive fireplace and traditional brick flooring. This leads through to a versatile study. To the rear of the house is the impressive extended kitchen / dining room, with a vaulted ceiling and skylights, an Aga, bespoke cabinetry, a butler sink and space for a generous dining table. Bi-fold doors open onto the rear terrace, creating a seamless transition for indoor-outdoor living. A well-appointed family bathroom, with a classic bath and wood panelling, completes the ground floor.On the first floor, there are two well-presented bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a spacious double with a charming outlook over the village and built-in storage, while the second bedroom enjoys a similar outlook. A separate shower room is fitted with contemporary tiling and high-quality fixtures. There is also access to the loft for storage.

Outside

The property is approached via a brick-paved pathway, bordered by neatly clipped hedging and well-stocked flowerbeds, leading to an attractive front entrance framed by a charming cottage-style façade. The beautifully arranged rear garden features a sunken brick-paved terrace, ideal for al fresco dining, with steps rising to a well-maintained lawn and further seating areas. The garden enjoys far-reaching, uninterrupted views across neighbouring fields towards the iconic Long Man of Wilmington and the South Downs beyond. The property also benefits from two useful garden stores.

Situation

The village of Wilmington sits within the South Downs National Park, surrounded by rolling, unspoilt countryside. The village itself is home to a church, village hall and a traditional pub. The coastal town of Eastbourne offers extensive shopping, leisure and cultural facilities, including theatres, galleries and a vibrant seafront. The area is particularly well regarded for schooling, with excellent state and independent options close at hand, such as Bedes School, Eastbourne College and Brighton College. The surrounding landscape is ideal for walking, cycling and outdoor pursuits, with miles of trails and breathtaking views to explore. Polegate station offers regular services to London Victoria, while the A27 and A22 provide easy access to Brighton, Lewes and the wider road network. Gatwick Airport is also within convenient reach, making international travel straightforward.
