This has been a wonderful and happy family home for some 63 years and it is only for health reasons that it is now being sold. Although the house needs modernising it is in a great location, was solidly built, has delightful original features and large rooms as well as being on a private road so is very safe for children and pets, and is just waiting for new owners to make it their own.

We are only half a mile from the charming village of Hadlow, which is in a Conservation area and includes many attractive period properties such as the Hadlow Tower, a variety of shops, pubs, restaurants, hairdressers, church, library and a medical centre. For the more energetic there are cricket and bowls clubs as well as a good primary school and the renowned Hadlow College of Agriculture and Horticulture that includes the Broadview Gardens complex where you can enjoy wandering around 10 acres of grounds.

There are three medical centres in the town, four dental and three veterinary practices.
