Architecture and interior

Built in the 1980s but with all the charm of a much older traditional property, this delightful cottage -style home was probably designed to be the home of a senior member of the teaching staff when the mansion was used as a school before being converted to flats.? Penbuckles Cottage has recently been refurbished and stylishly presented as a spacious and ready-to-move-into home. The cottage is set in a quiet spot above Hastings town with woodland on three sides and a real connection to the natural environment.

Hastings town centre can be reached via a really lovely downhill walk, and the cottage has good connections to bus routes for the journey back!

The roof has been renovated, a protective membrane fitted, cappings re-set, valleys and gulleys re-set, guttering serviced, flashings aquasealed.? There is a 10-year guarantee in place on works carried out to the roof. New utilities. New floorings and carpets.

A hallway with understairs storage leads into the lovely dining area which in turn leads into the kitchen. From the dining room French doors open to the private courtyard garden which is a sunny area filled with plants.?There is wooden flooring throughout brings a warmth to the whole downstairs area and the elegant fireplace brings character to the sitting room.

A pretty staircase opens to a wide landing on the first floor with three good-sized bedrooms and a family bathroom. The main bedroom has an en-suite bathroom. From the main bedroom there are far reaching views across the treetops of St Helens Woods to the sea. The second bedroom has a wall of storage. Sloping ceilings bring character to the room. The third bedroom could be a good-sized single room or would make an ideal space for a light-filled home office.

The property is reached from the main road by a private drive which is kept through an occasional service charge shared amongst all residents using the road. The amount charged is dependent on the work that is needed. At present the road is satisfactory.?
