Seller InsightSpring Cottage is a pretty half cedar clad home on the outskirts of popular Peasmarsh village. The present owners immediately fell in love with it, and have enjoyed every moment of their ten years in the house.

Peasmarsh is surrounded by the delightful rolling, green East Sussex countryside. It has a busy and supportive community, with two pubs, a superstore, filling station and a hotel and leisure centre. The vibrant market town and cinque port, of Rye is approximately three miles away. It is a charming well preserved medieval town, known for its antique and art shops, and has an excellent choice of restaurants. There is a good train service into Brighton, and from Ashford there are fast trains into St Pancras, London, and the Continent. There is easy access to the M20 and M25.

Softly surrounded by trailing wisteria, the cottage has a quintessential English charm, and the occasional passers by often stop to admire the pleasing façade. It is a visual delight. This welcoming and warm appearance is simply a prelude to the interior, which the owners explain, feels as though the house is giving you a warm hug.

Spring Cottage, has a pleasing choice of rooms, which are all used and appreciated. It is at its best when full of people and the reception rooms are perfect for both entertaining and relaxing. The music room is a charming and unusually rounded room. The owners describe the pleasure of relaxing there, playing the piano or listening to music. The windows frame delightful views to the garden and fields beyond; it is a superb ‘chilling out,’ and entertaining space. In summer with the French doors wide open, room and garden become one delightful whole.

It is also a summer delight to sit in the conservatory, and watch the profusion of bird life attracted by the garden, and grazing sheep in the neighbouring field. The beamed sitting room is a fantastic winter sanctuary where you can curl up by the fire and watch TV. The snug and kitchen complete a set of rooms where you continue to experience the tranquil and inviting ambience of the house. The very large garden is a joyful mix of flower beds, shrubs and lawn that lightly undulates away from the house, blending into the surrounding countryside. The fruit trees and wild life area provide seasonal colour and stillness, where you can settle to watch the butterflies and listen to bird song. It is a serene and private oasis.

The owners fell in love with Spring Cottage as soon as they saw it and are sad the time has come to leave it and downsize. They take away very happy memories.*
