The Old Post Office South Street
Rotherfield

Guide £550,000 - £580,000

Once the village post office, this beautiful character home is ready to begin its next chapter. Set right in the heart of the village and arranged over four floors, it offers far more space than you might first expect, whilst retaining all of the charm and character that makes homes like this so special.

Beautifully presented throughout, the property has been lovingly cared for by the current owners and is ready for someone new to make it their own. With three reception rooms, four bedrooms, two bathrooms and a cellar that spans the footprint of the house, there is plenty of space for family life, entertaining or working from home.

The ground floor has been designed with everyday family life in mind, offering a great mix of reception rooms. The dining room is a lovely space for family meals and entertaining, complete with a decorative feature fireplace, while the generous sitting room is centred around a log-burning stove, making it the perfect place to relax on a winter's evening.

From the sitting room, a staircase leads down to the cellar, which extends beneath the entire footprint of the house. Whether you need extra storage or have plans for a hobby space or workshop, it's a fantastic area with plenty of potential.

The kitchen has plenty of cupboard and worktop space, along with room for a family dining table, making it a room where everyone naturally gathers. Just off the kitchen is a useful utility room with a WC, which then leads through to the conservatory. Overlooking the garden, it's a lovely spot to sit with a morning coffee or enjoy the garden whatever the weather.

The four bedrooms are arranged over the top two floors, offering plenty of space for a growing family. The first floor is home to three bedrooms, including the generous principal bedroom, which benefits from a newly fitted en-suite shower room. There is also a further double bedroom, a comfortable single bedroom and a beautifully presented family bathroom.

A staircase then leads to the top floor, where you'll find the impressive fourth bedroom. Generous in size, this room has more than enough space for a separate dressing area and would also make a fantastic guest suite, teenager's room or a peaceful space to work from home.

Stepping outside, the rear garden is a lovely place to relax and unwind. A paved patio sits just outside the conservatory, providing the perfect spot for outdoor dining or enjoying a morning coffee, while the lawn offers plenty of space to enjoy throughout the year. The property also benefits from a car port, providing off-road parking for one vehicle.

Situated in the heart of the highly sought-after village of Rotherfield, this exceptional home enjoys the charm of a thriving rural community whilst remaining conveniently close to the market town of Crowborough, which is only three miles distant. Renowned for its welcoming atmosphere, Rotherfield offers an enviable village lifestyle, where community spirit is at the heart of everyday life.

Families are particularly well catered for, with a highly regarded village Primary School and excellent access to The Beacon Academy secondary school in nearby Crowborough. Rotherfield provides an excellent range of everyday amenities, including a village shop with Post Office, pharmacy, hairdresser, café and a fine art studio. The village is also home to two much-loved public houses, The King's Arms and The Catts Inn. The Village Hall hosts a vibrant calendar of events, performances and community gatherings throughout the year.

Commuters are also well served with direct trains to London from Crowborough and a local bus service to Royal Tunbridge Wells. Surrounded by the beautiful East Sussex countryside, yet close to amenities, Rotherfield offers the perfect balance of country living, community and accessibility.

Homes with this much history, character and space rarely come to the market, especially in such a convenient village location. If you've been looking for a home with personality rather than just another house, this could be the one.
