A Rare Opportunity in the Heart of Firle – Two Bedroom Cottage with Extensive Gardens and Enormous Potential.

Welcome to this charming two-bedroom end of terrace cottage, quietly nestled in the picturesque and highly sought-after village of Firle, within the South Downs National Park. This is a rare chance to acquire a property in this historic and tightly held location—homes here seldom come to market, and it’s easy to see why.

In need of full renovation, this characterful home offers an exceptional opportunity for those looking to create a beautiful country retreat, family home or weekend escape, tailored to their own tastes. The real jewel here, however, lies beyond the house itself—a truly expansive garden, offering a sense of space and tranquillity that is incredibly hard to find.

The house sits at the end of a pretty terrace, enjoying both privacy and wonderful views towards the Downs. The current accommodation includes a cosy living area, a kitchen to the rear, two bedrooms and a bathroom, with scope to extend (subject to necessary permissions) or reconfigure the layout to maximise space and light.

The garden is a true delight—stretching far beyond the rear of the house and offering a blank canvas for landscaping, vegetable growing, or even the addition of a garden office or studio. Mature hedging and trees provide natural seclusion, while the generous proportions offer endless possibilities.

About Firle

Firle is one of Sussex’s most idyllic and unspoilt Downland villages, situated just a few miles from the county town of Lewes and close to the coast at Seaford and Brighton. A village steeped in history, it is home to the Firle Estate and the beautiful Firle Place, surrounded by rolling hills, chalk tracks and ancient woodlands. The village itself has a close-knit and welcoming community, with a highly regarded pub (The Ram Inn), a village shop and tearoom, and a local cricket green.

This part of the South Downs National Park offers glorious walking, cycling and riding routes right on your doorstep, while transport links are excellent, with Lewes mainline station just a short drive away, offering fast services into London Victoria.

For buyers seeking a unique project in a quintessential English village, with breath-taking scenery and community spirit in abundance, this is an opportunity not to be missed.
