This attractive cottage forms one of a row of four red-brick Victorian cottages known as Dunstan Terrace, tucked away just off the Sparrows Green Road. Approaching from Cockmount Lane, steps lead up to a pathway leading to the front door. There is a slate chip border in front of the house with iron railings, should owners wish to utilise this area for pot plants or seating.
The front door opens into the sitting room, which has an open fireplace, built-in cupboards and shelves and a large sash window to the front. The dining room is open plan to the kitchen, ideal for family living and entertaining. The dining room has wooden floorboards, a feature fireplace and a useful under-stairs storage cupboard. The kitchen is fitted with a range of cream wall and base units with integrated double oven, gas hob and ceramic sink with drainer. There is also space for a dishwasher, washing machine, American style fridge freezer and dresser. Alternatively, there is space for a breakfast table in the kitchen should the dining area be more useful for another purpose. A stable-style half glazed door leads out to the rear garden. The kitchen has a tiled floor.
On the first floor there is a double bedroom at the front of the house, with built-in wardrobe, feature fireplace and sash window; as well as a small third bedroom or study with sash window to the rear and the family bathroom, which is fitted with a panelled bath with shower over, WC and washbasin. The top floor has been converted to provide another generous double bedroom with dormer window to the front and skylight to the rear. It has built-in wardrobes and eaves access for storage.
To the rear of the property is a part-walled and part-fence enclosed courtyard garden with paved patio and a square of lawn, as well as a garden shed. There is on-street parking close-by on the Sparrows Green Road and a twitten leads out to this road from the rear garden.
The property is located in the popular Sparrows Green area of Wadhurst, which has a Co-op convenience store, good primary school and nursery (from 1 y/o).

In addition to the nursery and primary, there is Uplands secondary Academy and the Sacred Heart Catholic School in Wadhurst.
