Set within a private acre of landscaped, south-facing gardens, this substantial five-bedroom detached house offers generous family living close to Heathfield High Street. The well-proportioned 3,292 sq ft layout includes five reception rooms (one fitted as a cinema), a large bespoke kitchen/breakfast room, and a standout main bedroom suite — all arranged for social living and easy flow to the garden. Solar panels reduce running costs and the property is offered chain free for a straightforward move.
Practical features include a detached double garage with planning permission to convert the large loft above into an office or studio, electric gated driveway parking for multiple cars, and good broadband and mobile signal. Local amenities, reputable primary and secondary schools, tennis and country clubs are within safe walking distance, while mainline stations are around a 15-minute drive for commuting.
The house retains period character — high ceilings, exposed beams, open fireplaces, parquet and solid oak doors — and has been sympathetically extended to modern family needs. There is scope to further personalise or expand the accommodation (planning already secured for garage conversion). The plot’s size and orientation make it appealing for families who want outdoor space and privacy.
Notable practical considerations: council tax is high; ongoing maintenance of a large property and extensive gardens should be expected. While presented in good order, buyers seeking a completely low‑maintenance home should factor in gardening and general upkeep for a house of this scale.
