3 Rosemary CottagesThis superb three-bedroom cottage is set in the heart of the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty at Flimwell close to the shores of Bewl Water, over which it has magnificent uninterrupted views and direct access to walks around the reservoir.

Having previously always lived in London, the current owner was not only attracted by the cottage’s wonderful countryside setting but also because it was not isolated, being one of a small cluster of properties and having activities going on all around such as dog walking, horse riding, fishing and sailing. Neighbours commute regularly to London Charing Cross in 50 minutes from Wadhurst station, which is just four miles away, while Ashford International and Gatwick Airport are also readily accessible. Nearby Ticehurst offers local shops, while bustling Tunbridge Wells has a wide range of retail and other amenities. There’s also a variety of highly rated schools in the vicinity and the cottage is close to the favoured Cranbrook School catchment.

On purchasing the cottage in May 2014, the current owner made significant changes to create a bright, contemporary interior embellished by custom-made white and glass furniture and fittings with LED lighting. Much of the furniture, including the dining table and the master bed for example, is to be included in the sale. Other interior features include solid oak doors, oak floors to the first floor, and slate and solid wood floors to the ground floor. The entire ground floor and the wet room also benefit from underfloor heating. Entertaining space is created by opening the double doors between the living room at the front and the dining kitchen at the rear, which in turn leads out onto a full width terrace with views over Bewl Water. The wonderful rear vista can be equally enjoyed from the master bedroom, its en suite bathroom and its large balcony.

At the front, the garden has been re-laid to include a lawn, flower borders and a gravelled parking area for two to three cars. The rear garden has gated access to the land adjoining Bewl Water, which the owner says is like having an enormous outdoor extension with no maintenance to do.*
