Set in the secluded hamlet of Tidebrook, Badgers Hill House is a rare, chain-free five-bedroom detached home on around 11 acres with unbroken East Sussex countryside views. The house sits at the end of a long private driveway and includes two garages, extensive parking, woodland and gently sloping lawns—ideal for families who value space, privacy and outdoor life.
The existing layout has been split into two separate living wings with dual entrances, a useful arrangement for intergenerational living or easy reversion to a single family layout. Principal ground-floor rooms and a large rear terrace have been positioned to capture the far-reaching views; an extensive attic offers scope for conversion to add living space, subject to planning permission.
The property will suit buyers looking to create a long-term family home: the house is substantial in scale but requires modernisation throughout. Heating is by electric room heaters, walls are assumed to have no added insulation, and windows are double-glazed with unknown install date. These factors mean buyers should budget for significant updating and energy-efficiency improvements.
For those seeking rural privacy with good links to nearby villages and Tunbridge Wells (around nine miles), this plot offers exceptional potential. Broadband is reported as fast and flood risk is nil; mobile signal is average. The house’s size, plot and location create opportunity for a sympathetic refurbishment to unlock considerable value.
