Set behind electric gates on a hedge-lined drive, Netherhay Barn combines a contemporary, light-filled family home with substantial equestrian facilities and planning consent for a separate two-bedroom annexe. The ground floor benefits from full underfloor heating, a double-height glazed entrance and a kitchen/dining room with triple-aspect views and bi-fold doors opening to the garden and patio. The living room centres on a large brick fireplace with a log-burning stove for cosy winter evenings.
The site is particularly strong for horse owners: a brick-built stable block of four stalls, lit feed and hay stores, a sand-and-rubber surfaced arena and an all-weather turnout area, plus three paddocks. Ancillary buildings include an oak-framed two-bay carport, a powered gym/workshop and substantial wood and metal stores. The plot is extensive (site estimated at around 3.5 acres) and provides privacy, direct bridle-path access and countryside outlooks.
Practical positives include planning permission granted six months ago for a detached two-bedroom annexe (separate from the carport), mains gas boiler with underfloor heating on the ground floor, and good local schooling and transport links within walking distance to Battle town and nearby stations. The property is suited to equestrian families or buyers seeking a rural lifestyle with scope for multi-generational use or rental income from the annexe.
Notable drawbacks are present: broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is only average, which may affect remote working. There is a single family bathroom for three bedrooms. Council tax is described as expensive. Buyers should verify the exact acreage and boundaries, and inspect the annexe construction details and services prior to purchase.
