Description Situated in the heart of the picturesque village of West Hoathly, opposite the Norman church, Combers Cottage is a very attractive timber framed house, understood to date from 1450 with later additions and listed Grade II of ‘special historic or architectural importance.’ The property was formerly two separate houses and was converted into one home by the current owners; there is good potential to re-instate self- contained accommodation if required.

While much of the character of the medieval property remains - including a wealth of exposed timbers, open fireplaces, some original flooring and a Jacobean staircase rising to the attic rooms - the property has been the subject of sympathetic updating and benefits from modern services, plumbing and wiring. There are good ceiling heights in the majority of the rooms and excellent storage in the form of two useable attic rooms, further large loft space and two cellars. The full extent of the well presented accommodation extends to over 2,800 sq ft and can be seen on the floor plans that follow.

The beautifully landscaped and well stocked cottage gardens are of particular note: a brick terrace adjoins the rear of the house, offering an ideal seating and outdoor entertaining area; steps rise to an area of lawn, bordered by colourful shrub and flower beds.

Pathways lead through the garden to a timber arbour which screens a productive kitchen garden; beyond here is a Victorian-style Alitex glasshouse and pedestrian access to the two detached, brick and timber clad garages, one single and one double. Agent’s Note Combers Cottage benefits from a right of way over the private driveway to the north of the house which leads to the garaging.
