Spacious rural family residence with annex potential and forest access.

Just under one acre of private gardens with pond and kitchen garden
Bespoke kitchen with bi-fold doors, granite surfaces, Miele appliances
Two versatile outbuildings; one ready to finish as self-contained annex
Direct access onto Ashdown Forest and private lane driveway
New wood‑burner sauna; oil boiler central heating (oil fuel)
Original stone walls likely uninsulated; glazing install dates unknown
Annex needs completion; property may need modernisation and insulation work
Set on just under an acre at the edge of Ashdown Forest, this detached sandstone home blends period character with modern living. Large oak floors and doors, bay windows and fireplaces preserve 19th‑century charm while a bespoke kitchen with bi-fold doors, granite worktops and Miele appliances creates a bright, social heart. The house offers flexible living across multiple floors, including a snug/music room and generous principal suite with en‑suite.
Outside there is a substantial kitchen garden, a feature pond, mature planting and two versatile outbuildings — one structurally ready to be finished as a self‑contained annex, the other subdivided with water and drainage. A newly installed wood‑burner sauna and direct access onto the Ashdown Forest add notable lifestyle appeal for families who value outdoor living and privacy.
Practical considerations are important: the home is oil‑heated with a boiler and radiators, glazing install dates are unknown, and the original sandstone walls are assumed uninsulated. The annex requires completion to provide independent living or rental income. Overall, this is a rare, characterful rural property suited to buyers seeking substantial indoor space, extensive gardens and countryside access, with scope for modernisation and energy improvements.
