6 bed 5 bath Barn Conversion
Converted 18th-century barn on c.6.54 acres with annexe, outbuilding and stunning countryside views.
Magnificent uninterrupted downland views and Ashdown Forest access
An exceptional former 18th-century threshing barn, recently and sensitively refurbished to retain antique beams, Cornish stone and handcrafted oak finishes. Set within approximately 6.54 acres (TBV) of formal gardens, kitchen plots, paddock and spring-fed fishponds, the property delivers dramatic, uninterrupted downland views and direct access onto the Ashdown Forest — a rare rural setting for comfortable modern living.
The converted main barn offers flexible living: a double-height drawing room with vaulted ceiling, a principal bedroom with dressing room and en suite, a large light-filled kitchen/dining room with professional-grade appliances, and a ground-floor bedroom with shower room. Underfloor heating, double glazing and high-spec kitchen appliances sit alongside authentic features, creating a balance of character and contemporary comfort. A self-contained one-bedroom annexe and a substantial detached barn (office/workshop with kitchen and bathroom) provide ancillary accommodation or potential income subject to planning permission.
Outdoor space is a major asset: formal lawns, planted borders, walled kitchen gardens cultivated organically, greenhouses, a roundhouse, treehouse and multiple seating areas that exploit the views. Parking is plentiful on a shingle drive behind electric estate gates. The estate fencing and secure growing areas make the land practical for hobby farming or equestrian use and the paddock and stream add biodiversity and privacy.
Notable practical points: heating is oil-fired (boiler and radiators) which may be costly and requires ongoing fuel management; broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal average — important if you work from home. Council tax is very expensive. The annexe and detached barn have potential for permanent independent use but would need planning consent to change use. Overall this is a characterful, generously proportioned rural home for buyers seeking privacy, productive grounds and exceptional views, with some running costs and planning considerations to factor in.
