4 bedroom detached house

A rare opportunity to acquire one of a select few thatched properties in Seaford. Lions Cottage is an attractive detached four bedroom home, believed to date from the late Arts and Crafts period in the 1920s, retaining a number of original features including latch doors, exposed beams, wood flooring, oak mullioned double glazed windows and an inglenook style fireplace.

The property also benefits from a separate one bedroom detached thatched annexe, currently used by the owners as a successful holiday let, generating approximately £1,000 per week during peak season. The Lodge benefits from a bright open plan kitchen and living room with vaulted ceiling with oak beams. There is also a bedroom and en-suite shower room.

The property is approached via block paved off road parking for several vehicles, with an area of lawn and raised flower beds to the front. The accommodation includes a spacious reception hall with exposed beams and turning staircase, cloakroom/WC, a dual aspect sitting room with inglenook fireplace and adjoining garden room, and a family room which could also serve as a dining room. This leads through to the fitted kitchen with quartz work surfaces and integrated appliances, together with a pantry and separate utility room.

On the first floor there are four double bedrooms, including a dual aspect principal bedroom and a guest bedroom with en-suite shower room, along with a family bathroom.

The property occupies approximately 0.6 acres of mature south facing gardens which surround the house. Within the grounds is a heated swimming pool measuring 28' x 14', powered by an air source heat pump, with an enclosed terrace and kitchen/bar area, ideal for outdoor entertaining.
