2 Bed Detached House For Sale

Recently updated two-bedroom character cottage in a semi-rural setting between Robertsbridge and Hurst Green. Includes new kitchen, bathroom, brick fireplace, outbuilding with power, and footpath access. Etchingham and Robertsbridge stations nearby.

Step into the entrance hall where new grey wood-effect laminate flooring sets a fresh, contemporary tone that continues throughout much of the home. Immediately to the right, the recently fitted bathroom features grey sparkle aqua-panelled walls, an electric shower, modern white suite with chrome fittings, and a Mylek WiFi/manual electric heater for comfort and control. Just along the hallway, the airing cupboard discreetly houses the boiler.

The kitchen has been newly updated with wood-effect wall and base units, sleek grey laminate worktops with matching upstands, and a breakfast bar that doubles as a practical prep or dining space. Open shelving adds character, while the full set of new appliances — including an Indesit fridge freezer and double oven, Hotpoint dishwasher and washing machine, and electric hob — are all included in the sale. A new grey sink with chrome tap completes the setup, and the same modern flooring continues underfoot for a cohesive finish.

Off the kitchen, the living room is a well-proportioned space with original character features — but it does require refurbishment. It’s the only room in the house that hasn’t yet been updated and presents a clear opportunity to create a comfortable, inviting living area. A traditional brick fireplace sits at its centre, currently sealed but with potential to be reopened, subject to inspection.

Upstairs, two good-sized double bedrooms have both been recently redecorated. The first, to the right, is a particularly spacious room with new wood-effect laminate flooring, a feature fireplace, a built-in cupboard, and charming ceiling beams that add rustic appeal. The second double bedroom also benefits from fresh decor and matching flooring. Both bedrooms feature traditional-style white-painted wooden doors with black latch handles.

Outside, the property enjoys a mix of paved and lawned spaces with areas of greenery, plus a brick-built outhouse with electric — ideal for storage, workshop, or utility use. There’s private parking for one car.

The cottage is set in Silverhill, a tucked-away hamlet between the villages of Robertsbridge and Hurst Green — offering a peaceful, semi-rural lifestyle with countryside views and easy access to everyday essentials.

Right on the doorstep, a public footpath leads out into open fields and woodland — perfect for daily walks, dog outings, or simply enjoying the natural surroundings.

Robertsbridge is just a short drive away and offers a well-connected mainline station with regular direct services to London Charing Cross and Tunbridge Wells, making it an ideal base for commuters or hybrid workers. The village also features a popular local bakery, doctors surgery, vets, a small convenience store, pharmacy, two pubs, and a handful of independent cafés and shops along the high street.

In the other direction, Hurst Green is served by nearby Etchingham station, which also offers regular trains into London. Hurst Green itself provides further amenities including a post office, convenience stores, and easy access to the A21 for road links towards Tunbridge Wells, Hastings, and beyond.

For families, the property is within reach of several well-regarded schools, including Salehurst Church of England Primary, Robertsbridge Community College, and Etchingham Primary. Independent options nearby include Marlborough House Vinehall School, Claremont, and Battle Abbey School.
