This recently refurbished five-bedroom detached house sits on a very large plot on the rural outskirts of Northiam, offering spacious, contemporary living across roughly 3,175 sq ft. The heart of the home is an impressive bespoke kitchen/dining/family room with quartz surfaces, high-spec integrated appliances and bi-fold doors opening to a paved entertaining terrace with far-reaching farmland views. Two ground-floor bedrooms with en suites and a dedicated study make the layout flexible for family life or live-in guests.
Comfort features include an L-shaped sitting room with a wood-burning stove, an integral garage, extensive parking and fibre broadband. The property benefits from LPG-fired central heating and double glazing installed since 2002. Outside there are mature, planted borders, paved terraces, an outside kitchen/BBQ area and a timber garden store; a decorative pond/rock waterfall is currently not in use.
Important practical considerations are stated plainly: the home has an EPC rating of E and sits in Council Tax band G, so running costs may be higher than newer, more efficient homes. Heating runs on LPG (not mains gas), and the original cavity walls are understood to be without added insulation. Built in the mid-20th century, the property is newly renovated but retains the need to consider longer-term efficiency upgrades.
Overall this is a high-spec, spacious family home in an affluent, low-crime rural setting with easy access to local schools and commuter rail links. It will particularly suit buyers seeking a ready-to-move-in, sizable countryside house with entertaining space, views and flexible accommodation, whilst accepting some ongoing energy and tax costs.
