Property Description
For the commuter, Frant mainline station is only a 5 minute drive away straight down the Bayham Road and provides regular services to London Bridge/Charing Cross/Cannon Street in under an hour.

Gatwick Airport is about 40 miles to the west, the Eurotunnel terminal at Folkestone is about 40 miles to the east and central London is about 50 miles away.

Description: Durrants Cottage is a very pretty detached period cottage - originally a pair of Victorian farm workers cottages dating from the 1800s – and presents attractive tile hung and brick external elevations beneath a tiled roof and new timber double-glazed windows throughout. The cottage has undergone an extensive programme of refurbishment since 2017 including complete remodelling of the interior of the property, the addition of an oak framed garden room and oak entrance porch, a new central heating system including underfloor heating, private drainage system, electrics, bathrooms, kitchen, flooring and internal redecoration.
The property provides immaculately presented accommodation over two floors with much character and charm and enjoys a lovely outlook over its wrap around gardens and surrounding countryside. The property benefits from plenty of storage, good natural light, as well as period features throughout.
The accommodation includes: a triple aspect kitchen/dining room which extends to 29ft with slate tiled flooring and underfloor heating, an extensive range of shaker style wall and base units with a breakfast bar, space for a large dining room table and bi-folding doors leading out to the garden; a good-sized sitting room with an open fireplace fitted with a wood burner; a superb vaulted oak framed garden room; a family room; a downstairs cloakroom/shower room; utility area; four double bedrooms – the main bedroom has an ensuite shower room and a wonderful view to the rear – and a large family bathroom with a freestanding bath and a separate shower.
Outside, the property is approached over a gravel driveway leading to an open bay oak framed double garage. The beautiful gardens wrap around the cottage with well-kept lawns and mature flower borders. There are raised vegetable beds, a greenhouse, a large shed and a terrace to the side and rear, ideal for outdoor entertaining. There is a less formal area of garden beyond the driveway with fruit trees, and the gardens are bordered by open countryside to the rear, with a gate leading out to a public footpath.
