Set within about five acres of park‑like gardens and paddocks, this substantial link‑detached country house offers flexible family accommodation and genuine equestrian potential. The principal reception rooms flow to a full‑width south‑facing sunroom and first‑floor balcony, providing long views over mature grounds, a stream, pond, pool and pool house. Double garage and generous parking sit behind a gated sweeping drive.
Internally the house is spacious with up to six bedrooms, multiple reception rooms, a games/workshop floor and four bathrooms — several en suite. Original mid‑century features and generous room proportions give character and scope for modernisation to suit contemporary living. The property is well suited to a growing family wanting space for horses, hobbies and home working (mobile signal average).
Practical points to note: the home uses oil‑fired central heating and double glazing installed before 2002; the construction date (1930–1949) means some systems and finishes may need updating. Broadband speeds are very slow and council tax is described as quite expensive. The house is freehold and occupies an edge‑of‑village rural location with commutable rail links at Buxted and Stonegate.
For buyers seeking a private rural lifestyle with recreational and equestrian use, this is a rare, mature plot with scope to enhance value through careful refurbishment. Those prioritising high‑speed internet or low‑maintenance modern systems should factor upgrade costs into their plans.
