Summary - SOWDENS UDIMORE RYE TN31 6BG
5 bed 3 bath Detached
Spacious five-bedroom family home with extensive garden and countryside outlook.
Stunning panoramic views over Brede and Tillingham Valleys
Sowdens Orchard is a substantial five-bedroom detached home set on a generous 0.74-acre wraparound garden with sweeping views across the Brede and Tillingham Valleys. The house offers versatile family living across two floors, including a 26ft drawing room with a Jet Master fireplace, large study/home office, separate dining room and a kitchen/breakfast room. Two bedrooms have ensuite facilities, and all principal rooms enjoy the valley vistas.
The property blends mid-20th century character with later sympathetic updates: lime-oak shaker kitchen units, UPVC double glazing and useful outbuildings including an attached double garage with rear workshop. Practical features include an oil-fired Rayburn that also heats hot water and central heating, a private spring-fed pond, greenhouse, vegetable patch and excellent broadband (up to 900 Mbps).
Buyers should note a few material facts: the house dates from 1971 and some reception areas show mid-century fittings that may benefit from modernization, the property uses oil heating and private septic drainage, and council tax is currently Band F (expensive). An adjoining 4.65-acre field with a Nissen hut is offered separately by negotiation, which may suit those wanting more land but is not included in the sale price.
This home will suit families seeking space, countryside privacy and home working facilities, or purchasers keen on extending/modernising a well-positioned rural property. Viewings will best reveal the generous room proportions, balcony views and the potential the plot offers for outdoor living and small-scale horticulture.
