The other three bedrooms are served by a family bathroom with shower mounted over a “P” shaped panelled bath.

The South-East facing garden is low maintenance and has clean, contemporary lines, with a stretch of good quality artificial grass, bordered by a raised stone filled bed and a decked area at one end. It is accessible via the conservatory, garage and side garden gate.

Rosemary Gardens is located about half a mile from the centre of Burwash, which is a popular, historic village with a thriving community, located about 13 miles South of Tunbridge Wells and 16 miles North of Hastings in the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It is best known for its National Trust Grade I listed property, Bateman’s – the former home of Rudyard Kippling.

The village has retained many of its High Street facilities including two public houses, a tea/coffee (and cake) shop, friendly Burwash Stores, hairdressers, plus village hall, doctor’s surgery, churches (including a Grade II* listed medieval church that plays a central part in the community), and an “outstanding” primary school (Ofsted 2024). The surrounding countryside is beautiful and offers lots of walking opportunities.

More comprehensive shopping facilities, including supermarkets, can be found at Heathfield (6.8 miles) and Hawkhurst (7.5 miles), with the larger shopping centres of Tunbridge Wells and Eastbourne/Hastings being that little further away, but accessible in about 35 minutes.

Etchingham station is about 2.8 miles to the East (accessible by bus) and Stonegate station is about 4.2 miles to the North-West, both on the Hastings line to London Charing Cross and Cannon Street (Etchingham to London Bridge in about 1hr 6mins).

The A265 runs through the centre of the village from Hurst Green to Heathfield, providing fast road links to the local towns and A21, which in turn links to the M25 to the North and coast to the South.

There are other primary school options in surrounding villages. Nearby Robertsbridge (4.9 miles) and Wadhurst (5.8 miles) have secondary schools. There are private schools in Robertsbridge (Vinehall School), Hawkhurst (St Ronan’s and Marlborough House Prep Schools), Battle (Battle Abbey School) and Mayfield (Skippers Hill Prep and Mayfield School), to name a few.
