Lewes RoadIsfield, East Sussex, TN22 5TY

The Hollies is a characterful Victorian cottage offering generous accommodation and established gardens in a charming village setting. Believed to date from around 1865, the property was originally built as a pair of railway cottages and later converted into apartments, before being acquired by the current owners in 1983, and reconfigured to create one attractive home.

The accommodation is arranged over two floors. On the ground floor, an entrance hall with cloakroom leads into a spacious dual aspect sitting room, where a Jøtul wood burning stove provides a welcoming focal point. Metal framed windows, thought to date from the 1930s, add character and natural light.

To the other side of the cottage, the kitchen, separate dining room and utility room are arranged to create a practical yet sociable layout, well suited to both everyday living and entertaining.

On the first floor are four bedrooms. The principal bedroom enjoys the benefit of an en suite shower, while three further bedrooms provide flexible space for family members, guests or home working, served by a family bathroom.

Outside, the property is set back from the road and well-screened behind tall hedging. A gravelled driveway provides parking for several vehicles and leads to a brick and timber workshop with power connected, alongside a timber garden machinery store, and a wood store.

The gardens surround the cottage, and are predominantly laid to level lawn, complemented by established borders, mature shrubs and trees. Patio areas provide excellent space for outdoor seating and summer dining.

To the rear, the garden opens onto a former railway cutting, acquired by the current owners and extending the overall plot to approximately half an acre. Part lawn and part light bluebell woodland, this area offers both a valuable wildlife habitat and a particularly attractive and informal extension to the gardens.
